sorta yes, but your still limited to 16 colors. If you use a image converter here (idk a link to one) (they exist), then the output should look like img`…` (if it looks like “let myImg = img`…`” then delete the "let myImg = "). you can then copy paste into the image editor. Make sure to have the correct image sizes! I could also try to do a more in-depth explanation if it didn’t make sense bc I’m kinda bad at explaining. Also, what images are you copying? ---

I’m not surre if this is what you mean, you could use this however: [https://kristianpedersen.github.io/Convert-Image-to-MakeCode-Arcade-Sprite/](https://kristianpedersen.github.io/Convert-Image-to-MakeCode-Arcade-Sprite/) ---

also what I meant was that you can past `img`1234` ` and other things into the image editor and it actually works
