Fallout Shelter Save Editor

Overview

The editor decrypts, changes, and re-encrypts save files in the browser, without uploading them to a server. The project says it has no backend or telemetry, and it downloads a timestamped copy of the original save before the first export. Local processing and a recovery copy are meaningful safeguards for save editing, though they do not remove the risk inherent in changing a game save.

The browser app supports saves from PC, Android, iOS, and Switch. It is an independent, non-commercial fan project, free for personal and educational use; its original source code is MIT-licensed. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Bethesda, ZeniMax, or Microsoft.

Key features

Dweller controls cover SPECIAL stats, levels, happiness, health, equipment, and appearance, as well as reviving dead dwellers. Vault editing reaches caps, resources, food, water, power, Nuka-Cola, and lunchboxes. This range suits both focused character changes and broader adjustments to vault progression, but it is unnecessary overhead for someone who only wants to inspect a save.

Room tools let users rearrange, upgrade, theme, clear rocks from, and repair rooms. The editor can also show complete season reward tracks, including past seasons, and claim missed rewards. These options reach beyond basic save inspection, especially for players returning to older seasonal content.

A family-tree view adds relationship and genetics statistics not shown in the game. Catalogs cover weapons, outfits, pets, junk items, and recipes, while a save-health check can help repair corrupted saves. Together, these make the tool useful for understanding and maintaining a vault as well as editing its contents; the scope remains specific to Fallout Shelter.

Pricing

The Free plan costs 0.00 USD per free. It is browser-based, requires no account, has no ads or telemetry, and is MIT open source. There are no paid tiers or seat and quota distinctions in the plan. Its trade-off is scope rather than price: it handles Fallout Shelter saves, not general game-save editing, and use is for personal and educational purposes.

Platforms

The editor runs on the web, with supported saves for PC (Windows), Android, iOS, and Switch. That distinction matters: the listed game platforms describe save compatibility, not separate native editor apps.

Who it's for

Choose it if you play Fallout Shelter and want granular control over dwellers, rooms, rewards, inventory, or vault resources, or need help with a damaged save. Its local browser processing and automatic original-file backup are useful for people who prefer not to upload saves. It is a poor fit for players who want an official Bethesda product, a general-purpose editor, or to keep progression strictly within the game's normal play.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Extensive dweller and vault controls support both small adjustments and substantial progression edits.
• Pro: Local processing, no backend or telemetry, and a timestamped pre-export copy address privacy and recovery concerns.
• Pro: Room, season, family-tree, catalog, and save-repair tools add utility beyond changing stats and resources.
• Con: It is limited to Fallout Shelter, so it will not serve teams looking for one editor across games.
• Con: It is an independent fan project rather than an official Bethesda tool.

Alternatives

Browse Game Save Editors for a wider set of tools. NHSE is a free option for Linux, macOS, and Windows users who already have a save file; it does not dump or import console save data. Palworld Save Pal offers every feature without a paywall and supports web, mobile, and desktop platforms, making it the relevant pick for Palworld rather than Fallout Shelter.

Pokémon SRM Editor is the alternative for Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow saves, with web and desktop apps. SaveEditor.top supports listed formats up to 50MB per file without registration. RepoDitor is another free option for web and Windows. SOTFEdit is a free Windows option. Universal Save Editor is a free self-hosted or web option. Elden Ring SaveForge is another free alternative.

Verdict

Fallout Shelter Save Editor is the right choice for players who want deep, targeted control of a Fallout Shelter vault without sending the save to a server. Its breadth, recovery copy, and free access make it compelling for that specific job. Look elsewhere if you need an official tool or support for games beyond Fallout Shelter.
