How to open ASE swatch files in Illustrator

Autodesk software can export files with this extension to Autodesk ASCII Scene Export format. They are used as plain text files that store information about 2D and 3D scenes. They are similar to Autodesk's ASC format but can contain more information about things like shapes and points.

Other ASE files might be Velvet Studio Sample audio files used to store instrument sounds, or Aseprite Sprite graphics files.

ASE files can be opened with Adobe's Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and InCopy programs, as well as the discontinued Fireworks program.
