How to Transfer Palworld Save to Dedicated Server

Last updated: July 23, 2026

Learn how to transfer your Palworld singleplayer or co-op save to a dedicated server, so you can continue your world together with friends.

Get Your Local Save Files

Press Windows + R and type %localappdata% to open your local AppData folder.
Navigate to Pal/Saved/SaveGames and select the folder named after your Steam ID.
Find folders representing your singleplayer and co-op saves.
Load the world you want to transfer, run around briefly, then close it. The most recently updated folder is your target save.
Note that folder's name — this is what you'll move to the server.

Log into the NolimitHost Game Panel and select your Palworld server.
Stop your server to prevent file corruption.
Create a backup of the server's current save files, so you can restore them if anything goes wrong.
In the left sidebar, open File Manager and navigate to Pal/Saved/SaveGames/0.
Copy the name of your server's current world save folder — you'll need this.
Upload your local co-op/singleplayer folder into that directory.
Delete the old save files and rename the new world folder to match the old folder's name.
Restart your server.

Connect in-game to verify your progress has transferred correctly.

Note: Reverse the process to transfer a server save back to a local game.
