Assets

Assets: uploads, packs and image sizes

Project media, My assets and the marketplace explained; sharing your own packs; recommended sizes for backgrounds, portraits, buttons and dialogue boxes.

Assets: uploads, packs and image sizes

Your assets live in three places: Media library: assets used by this project only. My assets: your own library, shared by all your projects. Marketplace: packs from Larch and other creators.

A pack can be imported into a project in one go. The starter packs you ticked when creating a project are here too. To share privately, a pack can make an exchange code for a friend.

  2. Pick a pack, describe it and say how others may use it.
  3. Choose public or private, free or paid, then create the listing.

Size cheat sheet

These are suggestions, not rules — but they save the most work:

  • Stage, backgrounds, CGs: 1920 × 1080 (16:9); 1080 × 1920 for portrait phone games.
  • Full-body portraits: 1024 × 1536 (about 2:3), transparent PNG or WebP.
  • Half-body portraits and props: 1024 × 1024, transparent background.
  • Title buttons: 1200 × 240, the same size for all four states.
  • Dialogue box frame: 1920 × 560, transparent PNG.
  • Name tag: 1344 × 400; choice box: 1440 × 320.
  • Cursor: 64 × 64 or 128 × 128.

Keep important faces and text at least 5% away from every edge. Don’t paint text into UI images — let Larch set the text so it can switch languages and sizes.
