Frequently asked questions

What a save editor does, whether editing is safe, what you can change, how the search works, and how to undo a change you did not mean to make.

What is a save editor, and how does it work?

A save editor is a software tool that allows you to modify every aspect of your game save files without losing any data. The online save editor is the ultimate tool for customizing your favorite games. With support for popular formats like Ren'Py, RPG Maker MV/MZ/VX/XP, NaniNovel, and JSON, our editor is compatible with a wide range of games. Save Editor ensures that you never lose any data and makes it easy to make changes to your game saves.

With a powerful search feature, you can quickly find the values you need to customize. SaveEditor.online gives you complete control over your gaming experience and unlocks new possibilities. Try it out today and start taking your gaming to the next level!

Is it safe to use the save editor? Will it affect my game or save files?

The save editor prioritizes safety and security and is designed to make modifying your game saves as safe as possible. However, it's always a good idea to make a backup of your original save file before using the editor, just in case something goes wrong. This will ensure that you can revert to your original save file if any issues arise.

Our editor is designed to be non-destructive, meaning that it won't affect your original game or save files. Instead, our tool creates a copy of the original save file and makes changes to that copy. This way, you can make changes to your game saves without the risk of data loss or corruption.

While using our save editor, you should also be careful not to modify any fields that you're unsure about. Some game saves have complex structures and interdependencies, and modifying the wrong field could cause issues with your game. However, with Save Editor's user-friendly interface and powerful search feature, you can quickly and easily find and modify the fields you need to customize.

In summary, while SaveEditor.online is designed to be safe and secure, it's always a good idea to make a backup of your original save file before using the editor. With our non-destructive editing and powerful search features, you can safely and easily customize your game saves to your liking.

What can I change in my save file?

You can edit anything from in-game resources like money, level, and progress to various game settings. Our tool allows you to view and change all the information you need without removing any data. However, we recommend creating a backup before making any changes to avoid losing progress. Try it out today and take control of your gaming experience!

How does the search work?

Our search feature is designed to be both powerful and versatile, providing you with the ability to efficiently locate any value or variable in your save file. With multiple search modes and filters, you can easily find the information you need to customize your gaming experience. Here's an overview of what our search function offers:

  • Type a name or a value: "gold", "hp" or "1500". Words look in field names, paths and text, part of a word works too, and common names count, so "money" finds a field called "_gold".
  • A number finds the fields that hold exactly that number, so "100" does not bring up 2100. When no field holds it, the closest values are shown instead.
  • Combine words and numbers to go straight to a field: "gold 1500" finds the gold that is 1500 right now.
  • The number of fields found shows above the results, and one tap narrows them to numbers, text or on/off values.

For a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to make the most of our search feature, please refer to our comprehensive instruction. This guide will help you utilize our search functionality effectively and customize your gaming experience like never before.

In summary, Save Editor Online's search feature is designed to help you quickly and easily find the information you need, allowing you to fully unlock your gaming potential.

Can I undo changes made with the save editor?

Yes, one field at a time. Every value you change is marked "Changed" and gets a Reset button beside it. Reset puts the field back to the value it had when you opened the file and saves that straight away, so your next download has it too.

To see everything you have changed in one list, turn on "Show only changes" at the top of the editor. There is no step-by-step undo yet.

Your game will ask about this save every time

This save was written by Ren'Py 8.1 or newer, which signs every save with a key that lives on your computer, and editing it breaks that signature. We removed the broken one, so the file loads: the game asks whether you trust it, you say yes, and you play. It just asks again on every load, because nothing in the file proves it came from you.

To stop the question, sign it. It's free and takes about a minute: the Repack page asks for the file you just downloaded and your security_keys.txt, and hands back a save the game loads without asking anything.

Editing Ren'Py saves often? Any paid tier stores the key once and signs every download for you: no Repack page, and the game never asks.
