Introduction

ASEPRITE is an open source program to create animated sprites. Sprites are little images that can be used in your website or in a video game. You can draw characters with movement, intros, textures, patterns, backgrounds, logos, color palettes, isometric levels, etc.

What makes ASEPRITE different? It focuses on pixel editing, to do pixel-art. Indeed, it isn't a photo retouching tool or a vector graphics editor. Mainly it is a tool to create tiny animations pixel-by-pixel.

Features

The main features of ASEPRITE are:

  • Sprites are composed by layers & frames.
  • Supported color modes: RGBA, Indexed (palettes up to 256 colors), and Grayscale.
  • Supported image formats (load/save): PNG, GIF, JPG, FLC, FLI, BMP, PCX, TGA, and ASE (special format).
  • Load and save animations in a sequence of bitmaps (e.g. frame1.png, frame2.png, etc.).
  • Tiled drawing mode, useful to draw patterns and textures.
  • Undo/Redo for every operation.
  • Multiple editors support. You can split an editor horizontally or vertically multiple times to edit and view the same sprite with different zooms, or different sprites.
  • Import/Export Sprite Sheets.
  • Pixel art specific tools like filled Contour & Polygon.
  • Onion skinning

Configuration files

In Windows XP/Vista/7 the main configuration file is aseprite.ini which is saved in the same folder of aseprite.exe executable file (in this way ASEPRITE is a portable application, i.e. you can transport a copy of the program in your USB drive).

The following is a list of all configuration files that you could modify (it is not recommended to do so, but is useful if you want to super-customize ASEPRITE):

aseprite.ini          Program configuration
data/gui.xml          Menus, shortcuts, and tools
data/convmatr.def     Convolutions matrices
data/skins/*.*        ASEPRITE skins
data/widgets/*.xml    XML files with dialogs

In GNU/Linux, the configuration file is ~/.asepriterc, and the data/ files are searched in these locations (in priority order):

$HOME/.aseprite/
../share/aseprite/
./data/
