Images ​

Image assets are the most fundamental and numerous components of a game library. Sharp Stock provides full-process support for image resources, from lightning-fast previews and deep metadata extraction to convenient image processing.

1. Supported Image Format Standards ​

The system is deeply compatible with modern Web standards and various industry-mainstream image formats:

  • PNG: Supports full Alpha transparency channels.
  • JPG / JPEG: Suitable for background images and large-scale materials without transparency.
  • WebP: Supports both static and dynamic WebP formats, offering superior compression ratios.
  • PSD: Supports rapid previewing of Adobe Photoshop native project files.
  • GIF: Supports both static and dynamic animations; the detail panel will automatically loop animations.
  • TIFF: Supports basic thumbnail display and physical attribute parsing.
  • BMP: Supports dimension reading, PNG thumbnails, and resizing for common bit depths. Resized images can remain BMP files and retain explicitly declared transparency. Some uncommon encoding variants may not be supported.
  • ICO: Supports Windows-specific icon files.

2. Core Functional Features ​

Intelligent Metadata Recognition ​

  • Resolution Parsing: Once a resource is entered into the library, the system automatically extracts its physical width and height and displays them in real-time in the detail panel.
  • High-Performance Preview: Utilizes hardware-accelerated rendering technology, allowing even ultra-large 4K and higher resolution images to be zoomed and panned smoothly in the preview area.

Convenient Processing Tools ​

To improve development efficiency and reduce dependence on heavy design software, the system includes:

  • Quick Editing: Provides rotation, mirror flipping, resizing, and TinyPNG intelligent compression. See Image Tools for details. (TinyPNG compression is not available in the Steam build.)
  • AI Smart Labeling: Supports one-click generation of category tags and content descriptions via AI models. See Metadata System for details. (AI features are not available in the Steam build.)

3. Organization & Management Suggestions ​

  • Application of Naming Conventions: We recommend teams follow unified naming conventions. In Sharp Stock, you can use the "Filename" dimension in the top search bar to quickly locate resources for specific modules via prefixes.
  • Regular Size Optimization: Combined with the TinyPNG compression tool, periodically perform volume optimization on redundant large images in the library to reduce package weight. (TinyPNG is not supported in the Steam build.)
