| App Resources | Information on the many kinds of files that can be used inside Pebble apps. | app-resources | false | /guides/app-resources/ | false | true | true |
The Pebble SDK allows apps to include extra files as app resources. These files can include images, animated images, vector images, custom fonts, and raw data files. These resources are stored in flash memory and loaded when required by the SDK. Apps that use a large number of resources should consider only keeping in memory those that are immediately required.
{% alert notice %} The maximum number of resources an app can include is 256. In addition, the maximum size of all resources bundled into a built app is 128 kB on the Aplite platform, and 256 kB on the Basalt and Chalk platforms. These limits include resources used by included Pebble Packages. {% endalert %}
{% platform local %}
App resources are included in a project by being listed in the media property
of package.json, and are converted into suitable firmware-compatible formats
at build time. Examples of this are shown in each type of resource's respective
guide.
{% endplatform %}
{% platform cloudpebble %} App resources are included in a project by clicking the 'Add New' button under 'Resources' and specifying the 'Resource Type' as appropriate. These are then converted into suitable firmware-compatible formats at build time. {% endplatform %}
