What is a PUPPET file?

A PUPPET file contains a character or object, known as a "puppet," created by Adobe Character Animator, a program used to animate illustrated characters. It stores a graphic in the Character Animator Puppet format, which includes layers for each part of the puppet and applied animation behaviors. Character Animator users create PUPPET files from Photoshop .PSD documents or Illustrator .AI artworks.
