Both PNG and JPG (JPEG) graphic formats are available for use. The PNG format fully supports 32-bit color (with alpha channels).
Characters (Graphics/Characters)
These files contain character graphics for the map screen.
Each character is contained in a single file. This file can be any size, and is laid out with the character facing all four directions (down, left, right, and up) and going through four frames of movement, for a total of 16 frames. The size of the actual character will be 1/4 the height and 1/4 the width of the entire bitmap.
Battlers (Graphics/Battlers)
These files contain graphics for the characters that appear in battle screens.
They can be any size, but remember that they need to fit on a 640 x 320 battle screen. Also, if the graphic's height is 40 pixels or below, it will be difficult to see damage displays and the like.
Animations (Graphics/Animations)
These files contain animation graphics used mainly as visual effects in battle screens.
Each cell contains at least one block of five 192 x 192 pixel frames lined up horizontally, but can go on to contain as many blocks as necessary. There's no limit on the file's size, but to improve loading times, overly large files are best avoided.
Tilesets (Graphics/Tilesets)
These files contain tiles for mapmaking.
Each tile contains at least one block of eight 32 x 32 pixel frames lined up horizontally, but can go on to contain as many blocks as necessary. There's no limit on the file's size, but to improve loading times, overly large files are best avoided.
Autotiles (Graphics/Autotiles)
These files contain special tiles used for seamless tiling.
See Autotiles for details.
Panoramas (Graphics/Panoramas)
These files contain graphics (distant landscapes) used in maps.
There's no real limit to their size, but they must tile on all four edges--like a Website background.
Fog (Graphics/Fogs)
These files contain graphics that are overlaid in the map's foreground.
There's no real limit to their size, but they must tile on all four edges--like a Website background.
Battle Backgrounds (Graphics/Battlebacks)

They can be any size.
Transitions (Graphics/Transitions)
