Balatro Save File Location (Windows & macOS)

Balatro stores its save files at %APPDATA%\Balatro on Windows. Checkpoint64 already knows this folder — it backs it up automatically and keeps earlier versions, so a corrupted or overwritten save is one click from restored.

Where Balatro saves are stored

  • Windows — %APPDATA%\Balatro
  • macOS — ~/Library/Application Support/Balatro

How to open the save folder

  • Windows — press Win+R, paste %APPDATA%\Balatro, and press Enter.
  • macOS — in Finder press Cmd+Shift+G (Go to Folder) and paste ~/Library/Application Support/Balatro.

Backing up Balatro saves automatically

  1. Install Checkpoint64 (free) and pick Balatro — the save path above is already preset.
  2. Auto-backup watches the folder and uploads a new version whenever it changes, keeping full history.
  3. Restore any version in one click if a save corrupts, gets overwritten, or a mod breaks it.
