How to use Image Channel Split and Packing Workbench
Split RGBA into grayscale PNGs or pack explicitly selected image channels into a new PNG. Equal-size source images remain unscaled. Mapping1.R,2.G or3.B selects a source channel;0 and255 insert constant byte values. ORM texture packing can be described with these same controls.
- Provide one to four local source images, output red channel, output green channel, output blue channel, output alpha channel.
- Choose the supported mode and run the tool. Review its assumptions and any reported errors.
- Copy the result or download a separate output; reset to clear the current form.
Good to know
- Static PNG, baseline JPEG or simple WebP only;8MiB/file,4096px per side. Structural preflight runs before native decode; animations, extended WebP, progressive JPEG and compressed PNG metadata are rejected.
- Separate worker:10seconds loading/preparation,2seconds compute. Canvas operates on decoded8-bit browser channels, not raw sensor or color-calibrated values.
- Up to4 images and20MiB total. Split allows one source up to800000 pixels; pack requires aggregate sources plus output at most4MP. Generated ZIP is capped at16MiB.
- Browser premultiplication can discard hidden RGB under zero alpha. This does not recover original invisible channel bytes or apply material-engine conventions automatically.
- Inputs are processed on this device and are not automatically saved or uploaded.
Common questions
Which channels should I use for an ORM texture?
Choose red=occlusion, green=roughness and blue=metallic using the appropriate source numbers/channels; select the mapping required by your target engine.
Does this change my original input?
No. The tool returns a separate result. Review that output before using it in another application.
