RPGMaker Save Editor is an open-source desktop utility for editing save files from RPG Maker MV and RPG Maker MZ games. It is intended for players or developers who need direct control over inventory, equipment, active-party character attributes, game variables, switches, and save-file copies. Saves can be loaded by drag-and-drop or file selection, then overwritten or saved under a new name. Its focus is narrow: it works with RPG Maker MV and MZ rather than serving as a general-purpose game save editor.

The strongest part of the tool is its coverage of common RPG Maker save data. Users can adjust inventory items, armor, weapons, and quantities, as well as attributes for characters in the active party. Variables and switches are also exposed for editing, which suits games that use them to track progression or state. For data outside the visible interface, the tool can dump and reload raw JSON. That gives developers a path to work with custom plugin data or other fields through the underlying save structure, although this requires more technical handling than the standard editing controls.

Save handling is designed around preserving the original state before changes are applied. According to the published product details, the editor automatically backs up a save before overwriting and can restore or clear saved backups. It also supports saving under a new name, allowing a separate copy rather than replacing the original file. The project runs locally with Node.js and Electron, and installation is documented through npm and Electron. RPGMaker Save Editor is a good fit for RPG Maker MV/MZ users who want focused save manipulation and backup protection. It is less suitable for other engines, other RPG Maker versions, or users seeking a packaged installation flow.
