How do transparent PNG parts differ from the PSD?

PNGs are individual pixel images with transparency and may be cropped to each part. The layered PSD places those parts on a shared canvas. A ZIP simply packages the PNG assets together.

Are character layers ready for Live2D or Spine?

They are a starting point for preparation, not a rigged character. Check boundaries, paint missing areas and organize the parts for your workflow. Meshes, bones, deformers, expressions and animation controls are not included.

Can I edit these as vector shapes or live text?

No. These are raster layers. You can paint, mask or apply adjustments in an image editor, but they do not contain editable vector paths or native Photoshop type.

Do the layer files preserve the original resolution?

The PSD canvas can match the original dimensions while the generated parts have different pixel sizes. Check the actual output dimensions; a larger canvas does not add native detail to a smaller generated layer.

Prepare Character Layers for Animation

Follow one arm from a separated layer to the checks and setup needed in your animation workflow.

01 Inspect the separated arm

Locate the arm on the character, then view the complete transparent layer on its own.

Shoulder connection · detail

02 Check the overlap area

Inspect the shoulder edge and covered area. Paint missing coverage if moving the arm exposes a gap.

03 Prepare for rigging

Add and adjust controls in your animation software. The marked joints illustrate a later setup step.

Exports contain raster layers. Rigging, expressions and animation are completed separately in your animation software.

Choose PSD or PNG for Your Character Layers

Keep the layout together in a PSD, or work with individual transparent assets.

PNG parts may be cropped to their content. A PSD canvas matching the source size does not guarantee native source-resolution detail in every layer.
