01

Is my Terraria world file uploaded?

The free Terraria seed viewer: open a supported local Terraria .wld file to read its embedded seed, world size, difficulty, evil type, and file version without uploading the save.

  1. Choose a supported local Terraria .wld file; strict validation checks the required header, section directory, and bound footer before reading metadata.
  2. Review the embedded seed together with the world name, dimensions, difficulty, evil type, and supported file version.
  3. Copy the exact seed or open the related map viewer while the original .wld file remains unchanged on your device.

02

Is my Terraria world file uploaded?

No. A supported .wld file is read locally in your browser and is not sent to Visualiquid.

03

Which Terraria world files are supported?

The workspace supports standard Terraria .wld world-format versions 179 through 326. Other versions, modified layouts, sidecar mod data, and files missing viewer-required structure are rejected instead of being guessed.

04

What world information can the Terraria world seed viewer read?

For a supported file, it shows the embedded seed and the parsed world name, size, difficulty, evil type, and file version available in that format.

No. The auxiliary generator creates a seed value only; it does not simulate or predict Terraria terrain, structures, biomes, chests, or loot.
