Frequently Asked Questions

SaveEditor.top is a free, browser-based tool for editing game save files. It works entirely in your browser, meaning your files never leave your device. We support popular game engines like RPG Maker, Unity, Ren'Py, Unreal Engine, and more.

Yes. SaveEditor.top runs entirely in your web browser (client-side JavaScript). Your save files are never uploaded to any server. We do use Google Analytics and AdSense for site performance and ads; see our Privacy and Cookie policies for details.

No. SaveEditor.top requires no registration, login, or personal information. Just upload your save file and start editing immediately.

Yes, completely free with no hidden costs, premium tiers, or feature limits. We support ourselves through optional donations and non-intrusive advertising.

We support thousands of games across multiple engines. Popular supported games include Stardew Valley, Undertale, Hollow Knight, Doki Doki Literature Club, Celeste, Omori, OneShot, To The Moon, and virtually any game made with RPG Maker, Ren'Py, Unity, or GameMaker.

We support: RPG Maker MV/MZ (.rpgsave, .rmmzsave), RPG Maker VX/VX Ace (.rvdata2, .rvdata), RPG Maker XP (.rxdata), Ren'Py (.save, persistent), Unity (PlayerPrefs .xml/.plist, JSON), Unreal Engine (.sav), GameMaker (.ini, .json), NaniNovel (.nson), and generic JSON/XML formats.

Unfortunately, console saves are encrypted with platform-specific DRM and cannot be edited. Our editor only works with PC/Mac/Linux save files. Some games like Stardew Valley have cross-save features that might help.

Maybe! If your game uses standard JSON, XML, or INI formats, our generic editors can work. Try uploading your save file and see if it can be parsed. If not, contact us and we may add support for your game's format.

Common locations: %AppData% (press Win+R, type %appdata%), %LocalAppData%, Documents/My Games, or the game's installation folder. For Steam games, also check Steam/userdata/[ID]/[GameID]/.

Check ~/Library/Application Support/ for most games. For Unity games, look in ~/Library/Application Support/unity.[Company].[Game]. For Ren'Py, check ~/Library/RenPy/[GameName].

Most games store saves in ~/.config/[GameName] or ~/.local/share/[GameName]. For Steam games running via Proton, check ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/[GameID]/pfx/.

Visit our game-specific pages (like /games/stardew-valley) for exact paths. Alternatively, search online for '[Game Name] save file location' or check the game's settings/options menu.

Upload your save, then search for fields like 'gold', 'money', 'currency', 'coins', or 'funds'. Change the value to your desired amount. For RPG Maker games, look for '_gold' in the party data. Remember to keep values realistic to avoid bugs.

Find the inventory/items array in your save. For RPG Maker, items are stored as [itemId, quantity] pairs. For Unity games, look for 'inventory' or 'items' objects. Add new entries following the existing format.

Yes! Look for fields like 'hp', 'maxHp', 'level', 'exp', 'str', 'def', etc. For RPG Maker games, these are in the actors array. For Unity games, check the player data object.

Achievements are usually stored as boolean flags or timestamp objects. Search for 'achievement', 'unlock', 'flag', or 'completed'. Story progress often uses switch arrays (RPG Maker) or progress objects.

Our editor validates changes to prevent obvious errors, but extreme modifications can cause issues. Always backup first! Common problems: values too large causing overflow, invalid item IDs, or missing required fields.

Disable Steam Cloud sync for that game: Right-click game → Properties → General → Uncheck 'Steam Cloud'. Make your edits, verify they work, then re-enable Cloud if desired.

No. VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) only monitors multiplayer/online games. Single-player save editing is completely safe and will not result in any Steam bans or restrictions.

Yes, for single-player games. Steam cannot detect save file modifications. Your achievements will unlock normally based on the game's internal checks.

The game might use an unsupported format, encryption, or compression. Try: 1) Select a different editor type, 2) Check if the file is the actual save (not a backup or temp file), 3) The game may use proprietary encoding.

Common fixes: 1) Ensure you replaced the correct file, 2) Check if Steam Cloud restored the original, 3) Some games have checksum validation - try smaller edits, 4) Restore your backup and try again.

Some games re-calculate values on load. For example, derived stats (like max HP based on level) will be recalculated. Try editing the base values that feed into the calculation instead.

Once downloaded, edits are permanent. Always keep a backup! If you didn't backup, check if: 1) Steam Cloud has the original, 2) The game creates .bak files, 3) You have system restore points.
