Where Are Geometry Dash Save Files Located?
Geometry Dash stores progress in .dat files under LocalAppData, with the account system as the cloud backup.
Last updated
Geometry Dash keeps progress in .dat files under a GeometryDash folder in LocalAppData. Levels, stats, unlocks, and settings share that one directory.
The in-game account system offers cloud backup on top, and serious creators use both. Local files load instantly and work offline; the account copy survives disk disasters. Link the account before anything dramatic, and copy the folder before modding with Geode.
Where Geometry Dash stores this, by platform
%LOCALAPPDATA%\GeometryDash
Progress, created levels, and settings (CCGameManager, CCLocalLevels, and friends). Copy the whole folder with the game closed for a complete backup.
~/Library/Application Support/GeometryDash
Same .dat layout under Application Support. The folder transfers directly between Mac and Windows.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/322170/pfx/
Proton prefix for the Windows build (AppID 322170). The LocalAppData .dat files appear inside the prefix.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move everything to a new PC?
Copy the whole GeometryDash folder with the game closed. The .dat files hold levels, progress, and settings together, so one folder is the complete backup.
