Wasn’t sure if I should make a new post here or submit to one of the the two showcase threads? So opting to make a post, so here we go

MonoGame.Aseprite is a free and open source library for the MonoGame Framework that assists in importing Aseprite (.ase | .aseprite) files into your game project. No need to export a spritesheet from Aseprite and have to deal with a PNG + JSON file. With MonoGame.Aseprite, you can use the Aseprite file directly.
MonoGame.Aseprite supports importing the file both with and without the MGCB Editor (also known as the Content Pipeline Tool). Along with importing the file contents, several built-in processors have been designed to transform the file contents into a more meaningful state to use within MonoGame.
MonoGame.Aseprite also supports outputting the processed file content to disk in a binary format and reader classes to read the processed information back in. This adds support for pre-processing content using any build or content workflow the end user has as long as it can use the Monogame.Aseprite library.
Getting Started

- Sprite
- TextureAtlas
- SpriteSheet
- Tileset
- Tilemap
