Sprite FusionExport Overview
Compare Sprite Fusion export targets, understand global export rules.
TL;DR
- Sprite Fusion can export your map into a game-ready file for popular game engines in a single click
Project Files vs Map Exports
Exporting your map is not the same as saving it. If you want to save your project, use import/export.
| Operation | What it does |
|---|---|
| Project Save | Save your Sprite Fusion project as a file. |
| Map export | Export your map as a game-ready asset. |
Export Targets
Sprite Fusion exports to:
| Target | What you'll get |
|---|---|
| Unity | A .unitypackage. |
| Godot 4 | A Godot 4 project package. |
| Godot 3 | A Godot 3 project package. |
| Defold | Defold tilemap and tilesource files. |
| Bevy | map.json, spritesheet.png made for Bevy. |
| Love2D | A Love2D-ready Tiled Lua package. |
| GDevelop | A GDevelop-ready Tiled JSON package. |
| Phaser | A Phaser-ready Tiled JSON package. |
| Cocos | A Cocos-ready TMX package. |
| TMX | A raw Tiled TMX package. |
| Sprite Fusion JSON | map.json and spritesheet.png. |
| PNG | A flattened .png image. |
| UVTT | A .uvtt tabletop package. |

Global Export Rules
These rules apply to exports in general.
Hidden Layers Are Excluded
Only visible layers are exported.
If something is missing from an export, check whether the layer is hidden.
Attribute Limits
Per-tile instance attributes are only supported by some engine exports, see below.
If an export says it does not support per-tile instance attributes, disable them in project settings or use tile-level attributes instead.
See Tile Attributes for the full behavior.
Browser Size Limits
The browser version of Sprite Fusion is limited to 5MB export size. While the vast majority of big, big maps will fit within this limitation, you might want to use the desktop version for huge maps.
