A clean update route for Windows

  1. Return to the main menu and export the current player profile.
  2. Store that export outside the game folder and add the release and date to its filename.
  3. Compare the version number on the project download page with the file you plan to use.
  4. Extract the new archive into a new versioned folder instead of merging it over an older build.
  5. Launch, inspect progress, complete a short level, close, and relaunch.
  6. Keep the prior working folder until the new build creates a fresh export.

Browser and package migration

Web progress can depend on browser origin and site storage. Export before clearing site data, changing hostnames, replacing a Docker container, or moving to another device.

The project explicitly warns that its website package and QQ group or Chinese netdisk packages use different packaging. Treat any switch between them as a migration, not a normal in-place update.

Declarations and agreement scope

Know which terms belong to the project and which belong to this guide.

Downloading, installing, or playing through a project service means you should read the project's full terms. The summary below is informational and does not replace those controlling pages.

Project nature

Free, non-commercial fan work with no EA or PopCap endorsement

The Gardendless team describes the game as a fan-made derivative project for learning, exchange, personal entertainment, and non-commercial use. It is not developed, authorized, or published by Electronic Arts or PopCap.

Ownership

Original game rights stay with their owners

Plants vs. Zombies artwork, music, sound, characters, marks, and related designs belong to Electronic Arts, PopCap, and other applicable rights holders.

Code licenses

Website, web build, and desktop files have different scopes

The project website source is published under Apache-2.0. The game web build is published under GPL-3.0. The project agreement says desktop versions are not covered by that GPL grant.

Use and redistribution

No commercial repacks or misleading modified releases

The project terms prohibit commercial use of the complete game and protected assets. A permitted web-code modification must retain the applicable license and clearly identify itself as unofficial.

Warranty and risk

The project is provided as-is

The project publishes no guarantee of fitness, compatibility, non-infringement, or uninterrupted use and limits responsibility for data loss, device problems, and other consequences where the law allows.

Player submissions

Official submission channels have separate contribution terms

Levels and mods submitted to the Gardendless team through its own channels are governed by the project's submission agreement, including its published permissions and MIT license language. This guide accepts no game submissions.

Privacy

Two sites, two privacy policies

The Gardendless privacy policy applies to its services. The pvzgardenless.com privacy policy covers this independent guide, its consent choice, hosting, optional analytics, and media.

Download questions

Is this the official Gardendless website?

No. pvzgardenless.com is an independent player guide. Every file button above opens a source published by the Gardendless project.

Is there an Android or iOS download?

The project FAQ says there is no Android or iOS port. Avoid APK or IPA pages that claim to provide this release.

Does macOS support Intel processors?

The current project download listing is for Apple Silicon arm64 with macOS 11.0 or later. It does not list an Intel build.

Will a save move between every package automatically?

No. The project warns that its website package and QQ group or Chinese netdisk packages use different packaging, so saves may need an explicit export and import.

Are checksums available for this build?

The live project metadata checked on July 31, 2026 did not include MD5 or SHA256 values. Match the version and use a project-controlled destination.
