Where Does iZotope Ozone Store Presets?
Ozone keeps custom presets as XML in Documents iZotope on desktop, with factory presets beside the install per version.
Last updated
Ozone splits presets cleanly. Factory banks install with the plugin under Program Files or system Application Support. Your customs land in Documents under an iZotope folder with the version in the name. Each major version gets its own tree.
That versioning is the whole backup story. Copy the folder matching the Ozone you actually run. The preset manager Change button relocates customs to bigger drives, which suits mastering rigs with small system disks.
Where iZotope Ozone stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\iZotope\Ozone 11\Presets
Custom XML presets per version with Global and User subfolders. Factory banks live under Program Files\iZotope. Use Change in the preset manager to relocate.
~/Documents/iZotope/Ozone 11/Presets
Same Documents relative layout for customs. Ozone 10 and newer keep factory presets in /Library/Application Support/iZotope instead. Check permissions when presets vanish.
Frequently asked questions
How do I install downloaded Ozone presets?
Drop the XML files into the User Presets folder for your Ozone version, then hit reload in the preset manager. Keep version folders apart, since Ozone 9 banks do not always load cleanly in Ozone 11. The Change button remaps the folder when you outgrow Documents.
How do I move Ozone presets to a new machine?
Copy the Documents iZotope tree for your version with the DAW closed. Factory presets reinstall with the plugin. Ozone 10 and newer moved Mac factory content to Application Support, so old guides point at the wrong tree.
