Rust Explorer
Turn huge asset libraries into usable packs.
Rust Explorer is a fast, local-first desktop tool for exploring, organizing and packaging massive game and mod asset libraries.
Index hundreds of thousands of textures and sprites once, then search, preview, compare, group and export them without repeatedly crawling folders in Windows Explorer.
Preview
What it does
Index once
The library is crawled once and kept in a local database, so it opens instantly afterwards.
Search and filters
Find files by name, format, resolution, size and folder across hundreds of thousands of entries.
Preview and compare
Put textures and sprites side by side to spot duplicates and pick the better variant.
Pack building
Group a selection into sets and export a finished pack in one action.
Hundreds of thousands of assets in one window, without lag.
The whole library at once
Browse hundreds of thousands of assets in one grid — no folder-by-folder navigation, no waiting for previews to load.
Duplicate detection and auto-merge
Identical and near-identical files are found across the whole library and merged into a single entry automatically.
Collections and editing
Build your own collections, then rename, tag and edit metadata in bulk without leaving the app.
Written in Rust
A Rust core with parallel file walking and a purpose-built index keeps the app fast on libraries where Windows Explorer stalls.
