Tile Asset Converter

The Tile Asset Converter allows you to convert Tile assets of one type to another type. The Tile asset will only retain serialized data between types if they share the exact same name, eg. "m_Sprite" in the first type and "m_Sprite in the second type". References to the Tile asset will remain the same. For example, if a Tilemap refers to a particular Tile Asset at position (0, 0, 0), it will still refer to that Tile asset even if the Tile Asset has its type changed by the Tile Asset Converter.

To access the Tile Asset Converter, from the menu bar, select Window/2D/Tile Asset Converter and the Tile Asset Converter window will open.
