FXBake Pro — Animation Effects Toolkit for Aseprite

⚡ Stop Animating Effects by Hand

FXBake Pro bakes professional animation effects directly into your Aseprite frames — rotation, motion, color effects, transitions — all in one click. What used to take 30 minutes of careful frame-by-frame work now takes 3 seconds.

Pick an effect. Set the parameters. Hit Apply. Done. Your frames are ready.

✦ 10 Effects, Infinite Possibilities

🔄 MOTION EFFECTS

Spin

Full or partial rotation with seamless looping. Coins, gears, windmills, loading icons, floating pickups — anything that needs to rotate smoothly. Set the angle (15°–720°), pick an easing curve (Linear, Ease-Out, Ease-In-Out), toggle seamless loop, and you have a perfectly spinning animation in seconds.

Pendulum

Swinging oscillation with configurable pivot point. Hanging lanterns, clock pendulums, chains, ropes, dangling keys, swaying signs — set the pivot to Top Center and it swings from the hook. 7 pivot presets (Top, Bottom, Left, Right, Center, corners). Adjustable angle and cycle count for gentle sways or wild swings.

Breathe

Subtle scale pulsing that makes anything feel alive. Idle characters, glowing orbs, beating hearts, pulsing UI elements — a tiny 10–20% breathe cycle turns a static sprite into something that feels like it's waiting for the player. Adjustable amplitude and cycle count.

Squash & Stretch

The oldest animation principle, automated. Bouncing balls, landing impacts, jumping anticipation, squishy slimes — the sprite stretches tall and squashes wide while preserving its volume. The cartoon feel your sprites are missing.

Shake

Controlled random vibration with optional decay. Damage reactions, explosions, earthquakes, buzzing machines, nervous characters — set the intensity and let it rattle. Decay mode starts strong and settles to stillness, perfect for impact reactions.

🎨 COLOR EFFECTS

Hit Flash

The classic damage indicator. Your sprite flashes a solid color (white, red, any color you pick) and fades back to normal over N frames. Linear or Ease-Out curve. Every game needs this — now it's one click instead of duplicating and recoloring frames by hand.

Dissolve

Pixel-by-pixel disappearance in three patterns: Random scatter, Top-Down wipe, or Left-Right reveal. Death animations, teleportation, materialization effects, magic spells. Seeded randomness means you get the same result every time — or change the seed for a different pattern.

Color Shift

Hue rotation that cycles your sprite through the color spectrum. Magical auras, poison effects, rainbow pickups, elemental transitions. Shift the full 360° or just a subtle range. Optional saturation shift for extra intensity.

Silhouette

Smooth transition from a solid color to your original sprite. Dramatic character reveals, shadow-to-color introductions, stealth-to-visible transitions. Pick any silhouette color — classic black, ominous red, ghostly blue.

Fade

Alpha transition — In or Out. Spawning, despawning, ghost effects, scene transitions, UI element appearances. Simple, clean, essential.
