Where Does iZotope RX Store User Presets?
iZotope RX user presets, factory presets and .rxdoc session files on Windows and Mac.
Last updated
RX splits presets cleanly: factory sets ship with the installer under Program Files or system Application Support, while yours land in Documents under an iZotope folder. Each module has an Explore Preset button that opens its folder directly, which beats memorizing paths.
Session work adds .rxdoc archives wherever you save them. They bundle original audio, edits and view state, but only RX opens them. Export standard formats for DAWs and clients.
Where iZotope RX stores this, by platform
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\iZotope\RX Audio Editor\User Presets
User presets as XML, one folder per module family. Use any module's Explore Preset button to jump here instantly. Factory sets live separately under Program Files\iZotope and reinstall with the app.
~/Documents/iZotope/RX Audio Editor/User Presets
Same Documents relative layout as Windows. Factory presets sit in /Library/Application Support/iZotope instead. Permissions hiccups here cause the classic missing presets complaint; check read and write access first.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move RX presets to a new computer?
Copy your User Presets folder to the same Documents relative spot on the new machine. Factory presets reinstall with the app, so only the user folder needs moving. Reload presets in any module afterward.
What is an .rxdoc file?
Save as .rxdoc to archive original plus edits plus view state in one file. It only opens in RX, so export WAV or AIFF for anywhere else. Session Data folder location sits in Preferences, Misc.
How do I install downloaded RX presets?
Use Import Preset in any module, or drop the files into the User Presets folder and hit Reload Preset. Presets are plain XML, so they survive version jumps better than most formats.
