This browser-based Fallout Shelter Save Editor lets you inspect and edit supported fields in Vault1.sav, Vault2.sav, or Vault3.sav files without installing a separate editor. You can adjust documented dweller attributes, vault resources, selected rooms, recipes, and explorer data, then download a copy for testing. The editor processes the selected file in the browser; compatibility depends on the save structure and game version, so keep an untouched backup before every edit. PC, Steam, Android, and iOS users may need different file access and restore steps.
Our Fallout Shelter Save Editor exposes supported fields in a vault save file. Use this save editor to edit individual dweller stats including all seven SPECIAL attributes - Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck. The vault editor can set supported values for individual dwellers or apply selected bulk actions.
Manage your vault resources by modifying caps and Nuka-Cola Quantum with this Fallout Shelter editor. Adjust essential resources like food, water, and energy, and add supported quantities of lunchboxes or supplies. The save editor also exposes medical fields including Stimpacks and RadAway in the vault save.
Advanced save editor features include unlocking all vault room types, accessing all crafting recipes immediately, and removing obstacles. Customize your vault's appearance with seasonal themes and switch between Normal and Survival modes. The wasteland explorer section in this Fallout Shelter Save Editor allows you to edit dwellers currently exploring, including their inventory and health. If you are researching seasonal reward fields, read the Season Pass save editor guide before touching Battle Pass or premium-related data.

â ī¸ Partially CompatibleIf you are searching for a Fallout Shelter save file editor, the file you need is usually named Vault1.sav, Vault2.sav, or Vault3.sav. This browser editor can open those vault save files directly after you copy them from the correct platform folder. Use the save file locations guide if you need the exact path before editing.
The Fallout Shelter Save Editor online is the same editor for every platform, but the file access step changes. PC and Steam players usually need the Windows save folder and a Steam Cloud check. Android players often need help with the restricted Android/data folder. iPhone and iPad players need an export-and-restore workflow through iMazing, Finder, or iTunes File Sharing. Pick the guide that matches your device before replacing the edited save.
The Fallout Shelter Save Editor uses the same browser interface after a supported save file has been copied to the computer. PC users commonly check the "Documents\My Games\Fallout Shelter" directory, while Steam users commonly check "C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\FalloutShelter". Paths and cloud behavior can vary, so follow the dedicated Fallout Shelter PC and Steam save editor guide before replacing a file.
Android users can use this save editor online after copying the vault file from "/storage/sdcard/Android/data/com.bethsoft.falloutshelter/files". If Android 11 or newer hides the data folder, follow the Fallout Shelter Android save editor guide for file manager, USB transfer, and ADB options. If you are tempted to install a separate APK, read the save editor APK alternative guide first.
iOS users can use this vault save editor after exporting a save with an available app-data, iTunes, or Finder workflow. The Fallout Shelter iOS save editor guide explains the iPhone and iPad workflow. Windows installations can also use the editor when the relevant save file is accessible. Always back up the original before using any save editor tool.
Using a phone or tablet? The Fallout Shelter mobile save editor guide compares Android and iOS file access, backup, browser editing, restore steps, and cloud-save risks before you replace a mobile vault.
Editing your Fallout Shelter save file has never been easier with this save editor. Start by locating your vault save file - the exact location depends on your platform. We provide detailed platform-specific guides for PC, Steam, Android, and iOS users. Once you've found your Vault1.sav, Vault2.sav, or Vault3.sav file, simply drag it into the Fallout Shelter editor window or use the file browser.
The save editor automatically decrypts and loads your vault save data, displaying all editable information in organized tabs. Navigate between Vault settings, individual Dwellers, and Wasteland explorers using the vault editor. Make any changes you desire - from resources to dweller records - with this Fallout Shelter Save Editor. If your goal is to add rare characters, follow the legendary dweller save editor guide before changing multiple records. If a vault already fails to load, use the Fallout Shelter save repair guide before editing it again. Need help? Check our complete step-by-step tutorial for detailed instructions.
When you're satisfied with your edits in the save editor, click the Save button to download a modified vault file. Keep the original and test the downloaded copy before replacing a working save. For advanced users who want manual JSON editing, try our save file decryption tool. Relaunch Fallout Shelter and verify that the edited values loaded as expected.

The Fallout Shelter Save Editor reads and edits the selected file in your browser using client-side JavaScript. The editor flow does not send the save contents to this site's server, but the page may load site services such as analytics or advertising. The Privacy Policy explains those services and the information they may process; do not treat browser-based editing as a guarantee that no network requests occur.
No account or subscription is required to start the editor flow. The project source is available on GitHub so users can inspect the implementation and report issues. Review the current repository and Privacy Policy rather than relying on an absolute security or availability promise.
Create an untouched backup of the original save before making changes, and test edits on a copy. Extreme values, unsupported fields, cloud synchronization, or a version mismatch can make a save fail to load; a backup is the practical recovery path.

Experienced vault overseers know that smart editing enhances gameplay without breaking immersion. When modifying SPECIAL stats, consider keeping values between 7-8 rather than maxing everything to 10. This maintains some challenge while still providing significant advantages. If you arrived here searching for Fallout Shelter cheats, start with safe save-file edits instead of random code lists, APKs, or live memory tools. If you are researching Fallout Shelter mods, first separate a PC community mod from a save editor or mod APK and keep a rollback copy. Assign dwellers to rooms matching their highest stats for optimal efficiency, then use the Fallout Shelter first floor layout guide to keep your strongest workers in a short, defensible entrance route. For population and morale planning, see the new Fallout Shelter radio room guide.
Resource management requires careful balance. While it's tempting to add millions of caps, excessive values can cause game instability or crashes. We recommend keeping caps below 999,999 and maintaining realistic stockpiles of food, water, and energy. For a full field-by-field checklist, use the Fallout Shelter save editor max values guide before testing extreme edits, and use the cheats guide if you need to compare save editing with Cheat Engine, redeem-code claims, Android APK alternatives, or old Pimp My Vault alternatives.
The wasteland exploration editor is particularly powerful. You can modify what explorers find, adjust their exploration duration, and even bring them back instantly with full inventory. This is useful for testing new equipment or quickly gathering specific items without waiting days for explorers to return. If you are deciding which gear to assign first, use the Fallout Shelter best weapons and outfits guide before changing every dweller.
Seasonal themes add visual variety to your vault without affecting gameplay. Switch between Normal, Christmas, Halloween, and Thanksgiving themes to match your mood or the real-world season. These cosmetic changes keep your vault feeling fresh. Similarly, you can toggle between Normal and Survival modes to adjust difficulty, with the ability to switch back if Survival proves too challenging.
| Problem | Without Editor | With Editor |
|---|---|---|
| Low Resources | â Grind for hours | â Adjust selected values |
| Weak Dwellers | â Slow training | â Edit supported fields |
| Locked Rooms | â Level requirements | â Try supported actions |
| Rare Items | â Random lunchboxes | â Edit selected items |
| Vault Disasters | â Stressful management | â Clear supported states |
| Exploration Time | â Wait days | â Adjust supported fields |
Many Fallout Shelter players face frustrating bottlenecks that slow progression. Running out of caps means you can't expand your vault or buy essential items. Training dwellers to maximum SPECIAL stats takes weeks of real-time gameplay. Unlocking advanced rooms requires reaching specific vault levels, which demands extensive grinding.
Our save editor can help users test selected vault changes while preserving a rollback path. Instead of editing a live file repeatedly, work from a copy, change one supported field group at a time, and verify the result in-game. The editor is useful for experimentation and recovery tests, but it does not remove the need to understand the save structure or cloud-sync behavior.
This project is an unofficial, open-source browser tool for working with Fallout Shelter Vault#.sav files. The repository provides the source and issue tracker; users should verify the current implementation against their own save and game version.
Changes and compatibility notes should be checked in the source repository. A page update does not guarantee support for every game release or every save structure, so test one copied vault and keep the original file unchanged.
Use GitHub to report issues, request features, inspect changes, or contribute code. When reporting a compatibility problem, include the platform, game build, save slot, and the smallest reproducible edit you can share without exposing private save data.
The editor reads and edits the selected save in the browser, and the editor flow does not upload the save contents to this site's server. That does not remove the risk of file corruption, unsupported values, cloud overwrite, or third-party page services. Review the Privacy Policy, keep an untouched backup, and test a copy before restoring it to the game.
This site cannot guarantee how a publisher, platform, or future game version will treat modified local saves. Save editing is performed at the user's discretion and may affect achievements, cloud synchronization, or file compatibility. Check the applicable game terms and keep a clean backup.
The editor can process a supported .sav file in a mobile browser, but getting that file is platform-specific. Android users may need a file manager, USB transfer, or ADB; iOS users may need an app-data or Finder/iTunes file-sharing workflow. Use the relevant platform guide before restoring a copy.
Use the main editor on this page after you have a Vault1.sav, Vault2.sav, or Vault3.sav file. For file access, use the PC and Steam save editor guide, the Android save editor guide, or the iOS save editor guide. Each guide keeps the platform-specific risks separate so you do not restore a save to the wrong folder.
Steam commonly stores Fallout Shelter saves under C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\FalloutShelter, but paths and cloud behavior can vary. Copy the local file first, pause or control Steam Cloud while testing, and verify the vault after relaunching. For the full workflow, use the PC and Steam save editor guide.
Yes. This tool is a Fallout Shelter save file editor for Vault1.sav, Vault2.sav, and Vault3.sav. Copy the vault file from your PC, Steam, Android, or iOS device, open it in the browser editor, then download the edited save and restore it to the same folder.
No. This editor is built specifically for Fallout Shelter vault saves. It does not edit Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, or Fallout 76 save files. If your file is not named like Vault1.sav, use a game-specific save editor instead.
This is why we recommend keeping a backup of your original Fallout Shelter save file. If you make unwanted changes with the save editor, simply delete the modified vault save and restore your backup. You can also use the Fallout Shelter editor to revert specific changes by loading the modified save and adjusting values back.
Common causes when using a save editor: 1) Wrong file name - must be exactly Vault1.sav, Vault2.sav, or Vault3.sav. 2) Wrong location - ensure you replaced the vault save in the correct directory. 3) File corruption - try editing again with smaller changes in the Fallout Shelter editor. 4) Cloud sync - Steam, Android, or iOS may restore an older copy. Use the Fallout Shelter save repair guide before overwriting backups.
Yes! You can use this Fallout Shelter Save Editor to modify dweller names to match legendary characters. For items, you can use the vault editor to change equipped weapons and outfits to any item in the game, including legendary weapons. The save editor provides dropdown lists of all available items for your vault save.
Check the source repository and its issue tracker for implementation changes. A page refresh loads the currently deployed files, but it does not guarantee support for every new game release or save structure. Test a copied vault after any game update and keep the original unchanged.
Use the browser-based save editor to inspect supported Fallout Shelter vault fields, test a copied save, and download the result. No account is required for the editor flow. Keep your original file unchanged, verify the modified copy in-game, and consult the platform guide when file access or cloud synchronization is involved.
