What is a Plist Editor?

A Property List (.plist) is a structured file format used by macOS and iOS to store user settings, configuration data, and app information. While simple text editors can open XML plists, they often fail with **Binary Plist** files, which appear as garbled text.

Our Online Plist Editor bridges this gap, allowing you to view, edit, and convert both XML and Binary plists directly in your browser without installing Xcode or command-line tools like `plutil`.

📄 XML Plist

Human-readable format based on XML. Easy to edit manually but takes up more space.

💾 Binary Plist

Compact, machine-readable format. Requires a specialized editor (like this one) to modify.

Common Use Cases

Game Modding: Modify game save files (often `PlayerProfile.plist` or `SaveData.plist`) to unlock levels or currency.
App Configuration: Edit `Info.plist` inside an IPA to change the app name, bundle ID, or version before sideloading.
System Tweak: Adjust macOS or iOS system preferences stored in Library preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this editor handle Binary Plists?

Yes! Our tool automatically detects binary plists, parses them into a readable structure for editing, and can export them back as either XML or JSON.

Is my data safe?

Absolutely. All processing happens client-side using JavaScript. Your files are never sent to our servers.

Why does my edited plist fail to load in the app?

Ensure you maintain the correct data types (String, Number, Boolean). Changing a number value to a string might crash the application reading it. Always backup your original file!
