Extract Heroes of the Storm replay chat logs in 3 minutes — from locating your .StormReplay files to exporting and sharing, with step-by-step visual instructions.

1
📁 Locate Your Replay Folder
Heroes of the Storm replay files (.StormReplay) are stored in your Documents directory. Depending on whether OneDrive backup is active, the folder path differs:
✅ Standard Path (OneDrive Backup OFF)
%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Heroes of the Storm\Accounts
☁️ OneDrive Path (OneDrive Backup ON)
%USERPROFILE%\OneDrive\Documents\Heroes of the Storm\Accounts
💡 Press Win + R, paste either path, and press Enter. Whichever opens is your active directory.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to enable any in-game settings to save replays?
No. Heroes of the Storm automatically saves all match replays by default. Just locate them using the path described in Step 1.
Neither of the two paths opened on my PC. What should I do?
Open File Explorer and search for *.StormReplay in the search bar. Right-click any match file and choose "Open file location" to locate your replay folder.
Is it safe to analyze replays with sensitive chat?
100% safe. HotS Replay processes the entire replay client-side using JavaScript. No file or text is uploaded to any remote server unless you explicitly click "Share Link".
Which web browsers are supported?
Modern desktop browsers including Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Brave are fully supported.
Does it support batch parsing?
Yes! You can drop multiple replay files or an entire folder at once, and the parser processes them sequentially in seconds.
