did you know? Aseprite actually has Script support, it can help make Aseprite able to Tasks its not able to do by its own.

I've been using scripts for awhile espcially the Export-as-PSD Script, but theres a lot more then just that script. :>

Here bellow are some good places to search for Scripts for Aseprite-Scripts!

The Aseprite Comunity Form (Under the Scripts Tag)
GitHub and Searching For "Aseprite" + "Script"
Its also pretty common for people to announce their scripts on twitter, thats also a place you could find one :>

Here is some Scripts i've saved on my bookmarks! (you can find a full list of my Bookmarks here)

Welp now to the Tutorial / Walkthrough! here i'll show how you simply import Scripts into Aseprite. i'll be showing this with this Script

Okay first lets open the Open Scripts Folder under the File tab

Then in the Scripts Folder, you should add your New script, the Scripts are in .Lua Files :>

Add the file, and Then you should close the folder and Go into Aseprite again

Then you should Press the Rescan Scripts Folder button, you could also Restart Aseprite

Then the Script's Content should show it self

Note: that not all scripts does something in the Scripts Tab,

if its something that adds a Filter then what it adds would likely by under Edit or somewhere else

Then it should Show up on the place where it should appear!, for this one Clicking the Script opens its menu.

Then it should Execute the Script doing what it was made for.

(maybe i should have use a newer Script or a bigger sprite, eh, you get it right?)

anyways i hope you found this a little useful, you can as always check out my Twitter!

oh and dont fear to dm me if you do. i'd love help on wording stuff better or seeing what you guys make!
