Fallout Shelter Save Editor

Fallout Shelter Save Editor is a browser app for viewing and changing Fallout Shelter saves. It suits players who want fine-grained control over dwellers, vault resources, or progression. Its broad editing tools and local processing make it a capable choice, provided you are comfortable modifying a save rather than relying on the game’s normal progression.

Overview

The app decrypts, edits, and re-encrypts saves in the browser; the project says files are never uploaded and that it has no backend or telemetry. A timestamped copy of the original file downloads automatically before the first export, providing a recovery point if changes cause problems. This privacy-conscious setup is a meaningful advantage for save editing, though the automatic backup does not make every edit risk-free.

The project is an independent, non-commercial fan effort, free for personal and educational use under the MIT license for its original source code. It has no affiliation with Bethesda, ZeniMax, or Microsoft.

Key features

Dweller editing covers SPECIAL stats, levels, happiness, health, equipment, appearance, and reviving dead characters. Vault controls reach caps, resources, food, water, power, Nuka-Cola, and lunchboxes. That range serves both small corrections and substantial progression changes; it is excessive if you only want to inspect a save.

Room tools let players rearrange, upgrade, theme, clear rocks from, and repair rooms. The editor also displays full season reward tracks, including past seasons, and can claim missed rewards. A vault family tree adds relationship and genetics statistics that the game does not show, while catalogs cover weapons, outfits, pets, junk, and recipes. A built-in save-health check can help repair corrupted saves, making the tool useful for more than deliberate progression changes.

It supports saves from PC, Android, iOS, and Switch. The editor itself is browser-based, so Windows and mobile users can use the same web app rather than a platform-specific editor.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing. It includes browser-based access with no account, ads, or telemetry, and the original source code is MIT-licensed. There are no paid tiers to weigh against it; the project is free for personal and educational use. This is a strong fit for a single player seeking a Fallout Shelter editor, but it is not presented as a commercial product for other uses.

Platforms

The editor runs on the web and supports saves from PC (Windows), Android, iOS, and Switch. Its supported game is Fallout Shelter. Inventory, progression, and character-stat editing are all included, so the platform coverage pairs with substantial control over a save rather than viewing alone.

Who it's for

Choose it if you want to adjust a dweller, reshape a vault, recover a corrupted save, or inspect family relationships and season rewards. Players who prefer unaltered progression, or who require an officially affiliated Bethesda tool, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Extensive dweller, vault, room, and reward-track controls make it useful for both targeted edits and broad changes.
• Pros: Local browser processing, no backend or telemetry, and an automatic timestamped original-file copy address privacy and recovery concerns.
• Pros: Supports saves from four platforms, including Switch, while the editor remains browser-based.
• Cons: It is an independent fan project, not an official Bethesda, ZeniMax, or Microsoft product.
• Cons: Its wide-ranging save changes are a poor fit for players who want to preserve ordinary in-game progression.

Alternatives

For another free save editor, Game Save Editors is a broader starting point. Palworld Save Pal is the relevant choice for Palworld saves; its free plan includes every feature with no paywall and supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, web, and Windows. SaveEditor.top suits supported formats when a browser-based option with no registration is enough; its free plan caps files at 50MB.

Pokémon SRM Editor is for Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow save files, with both web and desktop apps on its free plan. NHSE is a free desktop option for its supported saves, but requires an existing save file and does not dump or import console data. NMSE (No Man's Save Editor) is a free, ad-free desktop editor for No Man's Sky saves.

Elden Ring SaveForge is a Windows option for Elden Ring saves. Gibbed Save Editor offers free Windows save editors, with available editors covering particular games. For Gothic 1 Remake saves, Gothic 1 Remake Savegame Editor is free and supports web, self-hosted, and API access.

Verdict

Fallout Shelter Save Editor is the right pick for players who want extensive control over Fallout Shelter saves across PC, Android, iOS, or Switch, especially when local processing and a downloadable original-file copy matter. Its range is the main reason to choose it; its unofficial status and departure from normal progression are the clearest reasons to look elsewhere.
