Export two pickup-icon slices
A screenshot walkthrough with fictional practice data. Select a step to explore.
1. Start with
Export two pickup-icon slices
The guide has a fictional 32 × 16 coin-and-gem image.
Sample files and contents
examples/svarn/pickups.png (a fictional 32 × 16 image with a coin and a gem) and examples/svarn/slices.csv, which lists the two slices to draw: coin at x 0, y 0, 16 × 16 and gem at x 16, y 0, 16 × 16.
Practice files and guides are free. The complete app is included only where the product page says so.
2. In the app
Try it in three steps
- Open the image in licensed Aseprite.
- Draw and name the two 16 × 16 slices, then save the sprite.
- Run Svarn Preview before choosing Export.
Show every click and setting
- In Aseprite open examples/svarn/pickups.png.
- With Aseprite's Slice tool draw the two slices from slices.csv and name them coin and gem in each slice's properties.
- Save the sprite with File › Save As… as pickups.aseprite (the .aseprite format keeps slices).
- From the File menu choose Svarn: Batch Export Slices... and keep All slices, All frames, profile slice_frame and Frame digits 2. Click Use document folder, then Preview, then Export.
3. The result
Inspect the result
The export produced coin_01.png and gem_01.png, each 16 × 16 pixels. Both match their original guide image regions exactly. Select an enlarged icon to download the actual PNG.
What to check in the practice result
Preview plans 2 PNG files (coin, frame 1 -> coin_01.png and gem, frame 1 -> gem_01.png). Export creates a folder pickups-slices-001 next to pickups.aseprite containing coin_01.png and gem_01.png (16 × 16 each) and svarn-manifest.json with status complete; the Status row reads Exported and verified 2 of 2 files in pickups-slices-001. Exporting again creates pickups-slices-002 instead of overwriting.
A static, one-frame guide example exported on the existing Linux development build of Aseprite. The extension reports 0.1.0 inside guide bundle 0.1.1. This does not establish other platform or animation support.

Svarn Audit Pack is a separate $2.99 tool for checking saved export folders. It checks the manifest, PNG structure and file hashes, then reports added, removed or byte-changed PNGs between versions. It runs from a terminal with Python 3.10+. It does not compare artwork visually and is not required to export with Svarn.
