Profile Settings

Profiles let you tailor columns, rendering, and decoder behaviour without affecting teammates.

You start with a default profile that cannot be edited directly, but you can copy it and use that copy as the baseline for your own working profile.

Profile list in PacketSafari settings

Column Configuration

Change the visible columns, their order, and how they render. Enable the packet information bar if you want inline filter buttons for the selected packet.

Coloring Rules Configuration

Use coloring rules to highlight packets in the list. Each rule combines a display-filter expression with a foreground and background color.

Backend Settings

Backend settings control decoder internals and name-resolution behavior.

You can search through the settings or show them all. By default, PacketSafari shows modified settings first.

Profile export

Use profile export to import or export profiles as JSON so you can share or version them outside the UI.

Table font

This setting changes the fonts used in analyzer tables.
