Question 1

Where do I get my Cookie Clicker save string?

Accepted Answer

In-game, open Options and click "Export save" to copy the Base64 string to your clipboard. Paste that string into the editor.

Question 2

How do I load an edited save back into the game?

Accepted Answer

Copy the edited string, open Options in Cookie Clicker, click "Import save", paste it, and confirm.

Question 3

Is the Cookie Clicker save format the same on Steam and the browser version?

Accepted Answer

Yes, both versions use the same pipe-delimited Base64 format, since the Steam version is a wrapped copy of the browser game.

Question 4

Why does my save show a checksum or "corrupted" warning after editing?

Accepted Answer

Very old versions of Cookie Clicker validated a trailing checksum segment. Current versions do not enforce this, but keep the pipe-delimited structure intact when editing.

Question 5

Is it safe to edit my save with this tool?

Accepted Answer

Keep a copy of your original export string before importing an edited one. The editor only changes the specific fields you edit (cookies, cookies earned, cookie clicks, cursors owned) and leaves the rest of your save untouched; if it does not recognize a save’s format it will refuse to load it instead of guessing.
