How do I convert an Aseprite file to a layered PSD?
Import the .ase or .aseprite file into Resprite, then export the required frame as PSD. This produces a layered still frame; the animation timeline is not included.
Convert the selected frame
- Import the Aseprite file and compare the artwork and layer tree with the source.
- Keep the original file and save a
.respriteworking copy. - Select the required frame, then choose PSD in the export menu.
- Open the PSD in the destination app and check the layers, opacity, and blending.
See Export a layered PSD for menu paths and a screenshot.
What can change during conversion?
Check both stages of the conversion:
| Stage | Main checks |
|---|---|
| Aseprite → Resprite | Imported groups use full opacity and Normal blending. Aseprite tilemap data is skipped, without automatically rasterizing it. Compare the imported result before exporting. |
| Resprite → PSD | Supported layers, groups, and image-layer clipping masks are retained for the selected frame. Group clipping masks, reference images, and live layer styles are omitted. |
PSD export cannot restore content lost during ASE import. If you add live layer styles while editing in Resprite, rasterize them in a duplicate before exporting when you need their appearance in the PSD. Keep the editable original.
