Files

One word before .tres says what a file is. Exports are plain PNG, WAV and Aseprite and carry no mark.

What it is	Ends in
A sprite, with its layers, frames and tags	.pixel.tres
A sound	.sfx.tres
A song	.music.tres
A colour palette	.palette.tres
An instrument palette	.instruments.tres
The SpriteFrames written beside an exported sheet	.frames.tres

Limits

The ceilings the Pixel tab refuses past. The cel budget is what actually limits a document; the layer and frame caps only stop absurd shapes.

Limit	Value
Pixels in one canvas	262,144
Longest side of a canvas	1,024
Layers in one document	64
Frames in one document	512
Decoded cel memory in one document, bytes	67,108,864
Colours in an imported GIMP palette	1,024
