# How import a wallet to your MetaMask account?

### Alternative option — import a wallet using a private key or JSON file <a href="#d3d7" id="d3d7"></a>

If you have an existing wallet address but you don’t have a mnemonic phrase, you can import your wallet address to MetaMask using a private key or JSON file.

1. After creating an account, click on the“**Account**” button in the upper right corner (see screenshots below).
2. Click **Import account**.
3. Select preferred entry type. If you want to import an account using your wallet’s private key, simply paste your private key string and click **Import**.
