File Browser
The file browser is used throughout the engine editor to select assets like images, audio, videos, javascript, css and other files.
Autocomplete Search
You don't need to type the full file path. The file browser automatically searches for assets in:
assets/games_assets/- Your game's assetsassets/engine_assets/- Built-in engine assets
Just start typing part of the filename and matching results will appear.
WebP Conversion
Image files can be automatically converted to WebP format for smaller file sizes. The WebP settings appear in the file picker dropdown for image fields.
When Backup original is enabled, the original images are saved to assets/backup/ before conversion.
