To export your sprite and utilize the export options in Aseprite, you can use the File > Export > Export As... menu option or its corresponding keyboard shortcut.
Exporting Your Sprite with Options
Aseprite allows you to convert your artwork into common image formats suitable for sharing or use in other projects. When you export, you access options that control the output format, size, and other parameters.
Here's how to do it:
- Navigate to the Export Menu: Go to the main menu bar and select File.
- Choose Export: From the dropdown menu, hover over Export.
- Select Export As...: Click on Export As.... This will open the export dialog window where you can configure your options.
Alternatively, you can use the handy keyboard shortcut:
- On Windows/Linux: Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S
- On macOS: Press ⌥⇧⌘S
Understanding Export Options
The Export As dialog provides various settings to customize your output. According to the reference, using File > Export > Export As... allows you to convert your sprite into:
- A .gif file (suitable for animations and simple graphics)
- A sequence of .png files (ideal for individual frames with transparency)
Within the dialog, you can typically adjust settings like scaling, output file name, destination folder, and specific format options (e.g., GIF palette type, PNG frame numbering).
Remembering Your Settings
A convenient feature mentioned in the reference is that File > Export > Export As... will remember the latest options you've used. This is helpful if you frequently export with the same settings, saving you time when you want to save a copy or update an existing export.
Using the Export As... function is the primary way to access and apply export options when saving your Aseprite sprite.
