I need at least 729. Preferably 3,600. I once did a speed draw with something like 300 costumes but it was pretty laggy.

So, what is the maximum amount of costumes a single sprite can have? How much can I have without crashing Scratch? Does the asset size limit pose a problem?

I believe it's practically infinite, as long as each asset is under 10 MB and the size of all of them combined does not exceed 318 GB.

Alright. Thanks!

Apparently @comp09's projects have thousands of costumes. I can't fact check that, though.


Also, @comp09 used some complicated external methods to get so many costumes in a sprite, which I'm probably not going to do. I'm probably just going to split my costumes into multiple sprites, because there's no way I'm going to manage to squeeze in 3,600 costumes into a single sprite with this laptop. And even if I had a PC capable, I'd still want my game to be able to be played by everyone.

But, I still want to know this:

I think that depends on the device or browser you are using.

I think about 3,000

Source?

There is no hardcoded limit, but in Chromium-based browsers (which most people use) projects with many costumes will crash while loading, see https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=108055

Yeah, I know it depends on RAM and stuff. Sorry, I should've been more clear. I meant, How much costumes can a single sprite have, for the project to run on (mostly) all devices?

Ah, I see. Thanks for the information! That's kinda weird though, it says Chrome will crash at about 440 images, but I've seen projects with more costumes than that. I'm pretty sure at least.

I think images embedded on a page might load differently than Scratch costumes.

Oh, okay.

Memory Management in Scratch 3 was (and still is) pretty trash - the project ran fine back in Scratch 2 because I remember running it on quite a weak computer years ago.
