Balatro Save Editor

Balatro Save Editor

Edit your current Balatro run: money, the blind you're on, hand mult, slot limits and every joker you're holding. Your save is backed up first and checked after every write.

Nothing is written until you hit Save

Tick the changes you want, edit your jokers, then save once. Close Balatro first — the game rewrites save.jkr while it runs and can overwrite your edits.

Backed up

By default, a timestamped .bak copy is written next to your save before anything changes.

Checked

After writing, the file is read back and parsed again. If it doesn't reproduce exactly, you get an error straight away instead of a broken run later.

Where your save lives

The app finds it on its own. If it doesn't, use Open… and pick save.jkr yourself.

Windows
%APPDATA%\Balatro\<profile>\save.jkr
macOS
~/Library/Application Support/Balatro/<profile>/save.jkr
Linux

Questions

Will this mess up my unlocks or profile?

No. save.jkr only holds the run you're in. Unlocks and profile stats live in separate files that this app doesn't open.

Something went wrong. How do I undo it?

Unless you turned backups off, each save leaves a file like save.jkr2026-09-23T224512….bak next to your save. Delete the broken save.jkr and rename the newest backup to save.jkr.

Is it official?

No. It's a fan-made tool, not affiliated with LocalThunk or Playstack. Editing saves isn't supported by the game, so keep your own backups too.

Who made it?

BurntToasters built the desktop app on top of problemsalved's command-line editor, which does the save parsing. It's open source under MPL-2.0.
