Import
Open Adobe swatches in the generator
Upload .aco or .ase files directly into the browser, then inspect the palette, rename it, and continue editing from the first color.
Adobe Swatch Tools
Import and export ACO and ASE swatch files
Load Adobe swatches into the generator, adjust the palette, and export your colors back as ACO or ASE. The workflow is built for textile, fashion, print, and color direction teams that need fast swatch handling without leaving the browser.
Supported workflow
- Import existing .aco swatch files
- Import existing .ase swatch files
- Edit colors in the browser and save them to your private library
- Export the current palette or your saved palettes as ACO or ASE
The editor currently loads up to 12 colors at a time so the imported palette stays usable inside the generator.
Export
Download clean ACO and ASE files
Export the current palette or your saved palette library back to Adobe-friendly swatch formats for Photoshop, Illustrator, and broader design workflows.
Reuse
Bridge color direction and textile work
Move from inspiration, image sampling, and curated palettes into reusable swatch files that are easier to circulate across collections and production references.
How It Works
A simple browser workflow for Adobe swatches
This feature is meant for teams that already have Adobe swatch files and want a faster way to inspect, adapt, and reuse palettes across textile workflows.
01
Import a swatch file
Start from an existing ACO or ASE file if you already have a palette from Photoshop, Illustrator, or a previous brand library.
02
Adjust and save the palette
Refine the palette in the browser, save it to your library, and keep a synced copy in your private workspace when you sign in.
03
Export in the needed Adobe format
Download the final palette as ACO or ASE, depending on the toolchain you need to hand off to design, brand, or textile teams.

FAQ
ACO and ASE swatch questions
What is the difference between ACO and ASE?+
ACO is the classic Adobe Color Swatch format used heavily in Photoshop workflows. ASE stands for Adobe Swatch Exchange and is commonly used to move palette libraries across Adobe applications.
What is an ASE file?+
An ASE file is an Adobe Swatch Exchange file. It stores swatches so a color palette can move between Adobe applications and related design workflows.
Can I import both ACO and ASE files here?+
Yes. The generator supports importing both .aco and .ase files, then lets you continue editing the imported colors inside the browser.
Can I export the same palette as both ACO and ASE?+
Yes. You can export the active palette as either format, and you can also export your saved palette library in both ACO and ASE.
Is this a direct ACO to ASE converter?+
Yes in practice: you can import an ACO file, load the colors into the generator, and export them back out as ASE. The reverse workflow also works the same way.
How many colors are loaded from an imported file?+
The editor loads up to 12 colors at a time so the imported palette stays aligned with the current generator UI and palette editing workflow.
