Turning Arcade images into actual images?

Arcade Help
1

There are many methods to convert actual images (ex. PNG, JPG) to Arcade images, but is there any method for the other way around? (for example, I would like to generate images like the ones in this directory.)

If you go to the assets page, you can right click on assets to save them as bitmap files. Then you can go online to convert them to PNG or whatever you need.

you can also use https://shakao.github.io/arcade-sprite-pack/

if you click the export button in the top-right, it has the option to export as pngs (and scale them up). this only works with images though, not animations/tilemaps/etc.

also, it somewhat annoyingly does each as a separate file (make sure you click the “allow multiple downloads” permission dialog that shows up.

if you have any specific export options you’d like to see, though, i could be persuaded to improve this feature.

hmmm, not sure why that would be. maybe try clearing your browser data for this site? (be careful not to clear all your browser data, since that will clear your makecode projects too)

to do this in chrome:

  1. open the dev tools
  2. switch to the “Application” tab in the top bar
  3. click the “Storage” item in the left hand side of the window
  4. click “clear site data”

again, make sure you’re not on arcade.makecode.com when you do this

@richard is there a way to change the colour palette animation0 (2)

hmmm… try importing a project that uses the desired color palette and selecting “overwrite project” (this will overwrite your assets, sadly). the import button is next to the export

I’ll add something to set it manually…

yeah, you’re right. well i’ll try and add support for this soon, but it’s a little more involved

this tool is on an old version of makecode and i’ll need to update it
