Project Import/Export
Understand Sprite Fusion project import/export, autosave, and how your project is persisted.
TL;DR
- In the project panel, you can
SaveandLoadyour full Sprite Fusion project as a JSON file
Export A Project
Project export saves your entire project as a .json file.
Use it when you want to:
- Back up a map
- Move a project to another machine
- Share a project with someone else
The saved file is named from the project name.
You can also use Ctrl / Cmd + S to save the project JSON quickly.
Import A Project
Project import loads a Sprite Fusion project JSON file back into the editor.
When loaded, Sprite Fusion restores everything: tilesets imported, autotiles rules, project settings, map design etc.
Autosave
Sprite Fusion autosaves ongoing work in the browser and desktop versions. Autosave is 100% local to your machine.
It is not meant for:
- Sharing projects
- Moving projects between devices
- Long-term backups
Unsaved Local Work
If Sprite Fusion detects local work while loading another project, it can ask whether you want to keep or discard the current map.
Save your map before loading another project if the current map matters.

- Rely on autosave while actively editing

- Store project JSON files somewhere durable
