Frequently asked questions
What is a .sav file?
A file storing game progress. The exact internal format is specific to whichever game or emulator created it.
Can I edit a .sav file?
Partially. .sav files can be edited with the right tool (such as The originating game or emulator), but not with just any text editor.
Does having a .sav extension mean the file is safe?
No single extension can guarantee that. A generic or catch-all format. What it can actually do depends entirely on the application that created it — treat it with the same caution as any file from an untrusted source. Always consider where the file came from, not just its name.
