Extract text from Pixel art projects (ASEPRITE)
To convert ASEPRITE Projects to another format, you need Aseprite or other Raster Image software.
To convert other file formats to the "Sprite Animation Project" file type, you need software like Aseprite or a similar tool.
The .aseprite file is the native project format for Aseprite, a specialized pixel art and 2D animation tool developed by David Capello. These files store multi-layered pixel art, animation frames, custom color palettes, timeline tags, and slice metadata.
Opening and editing these files natively requires Aseprite (read more on Wikipedia). Users frequently need to convert .aseprite files because they are proprietary project files. They cannot be viewed in standard web browsers, default operating system image viewers, or shared directly on social media. Without an active license or installation of the original software, your artwork remains inaccessible to clients or collaborators.
To share your work or integrate it into a project, you should convert it to standard formats. Convert to GIF for web animations, PNG (as flattened static images or sprite sheets) for game engines, or MP4 for video sharing. Be aware that converting to these universal formats will permanently flatten the image, meaning you lose layer separation, custom blending modes, and timeline tags.
This file format is notoriously difficult to open or convert with generic tools. It is a complex binary format containing nested chunks of animation and palette data. Because it relies heavily on Aseprite's unique rendering logic, standard online converters usually fail to interpret the frame durations and layer opacity correctly. Often, only the original software can properly read or export the data. However, just drag and drop your file into convert.guru to identify the format, view its internal structure, and convert it if our engine detects supported embedded image data.
Convert.Guru analyzes your ASEPRITE file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
Users also converted ASE, PNG, ZIP, SPRITE, RESPRITE, ASEPRITE-DATA, META, GIF, G3D, RAR, JPG, RPYB and MP3 files.
If you want to convert ASEPRITE file to PNG, PSD, GIF, JPG, PDF, BMP, TIFF, TIF, WEBP, ICO, CUR or PSB, you can use Aseprite or similar software from the "Pixel Art Animation Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert RAW, PNG, AI, NEF, PSB, DNG, SVG, GIF, EPS, JPG, ARW or PDF files to ASEPRITE, try Aseprite or another comparable tool in the "Pixel Art Animation Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our ASEPRITE converter.
