The ASL file extension is used to designate Adobe Photoshop Style export files created by the Adobe Photoshop image editing software. It is a binary file format that refers to a format for storing Photoshop custom workspaces, layer styles, keyboard shortcuts, and menus. The ASL file stores commonly used elements that can be used in multiple projects to reduce project design time and ensure style consistency. With an ASL file, users are able to maintain a consistent look across multiple projects.
File Format Details
The ASL file also includes both screen and print styling components, such as stroke and drop shadows, color overlay settings, fills, gradients, and text styles. All these elements are automatically loaded into the software upon opening the ASL file, or can be adjusted manually. Because of its highly configurable nature and increased versatility, the ASL file type is often preferred over manually made layers for complex design projects which require a degree of uniformity. Other related Photoshop export formats include ACT, GRD, and AHCB.
Programs for WINDOWS system
Programs for MAC system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .ASL) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .ASL extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .ASL file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .ASL extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .ASL extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .ASL file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .ASL file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .ASL file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .ASL file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .ASL file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
