2

Configure Grid or Frame Size

Set the number of columns and rows, or switch to "By Frame Size" mode and enter your exact frame dimensions in pixels. Offset and spacing options handle sheets with padding.

3

Adjust Animation

Set frame delay, select which frames to include, and preview the animation before exporting.

4

Download GIF

Click "Create GIF" to generate your animated GIF and download it instantly. No registration required.

What is a Sprite Sheet?

A sprite sheet is a single image file containing multiple frames of an animation arranged in a grid pattern. They're commonly used in game development, web animations, and digital art to efficiently store and display animations. Instead of loading multiple image files, a single sprite sheet can be loaded once and frames extracted programmatically.

This tool reverses the process - taking your sprite sheet and converting it into an animated GIF that plays each frame in sequence. Looking to do the opposite? Use our GIF to Sprite Sheet converter to extract frames from animated GIFs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our converter supports PNG, JPG, and WebP sprite sheet images. PNG is recommended for pixel art and images with transparency. For best results, ensure your sprite sheet has consistent frame sizes across the entire grid. If you need to convert other formats first, check out our image converter.

Count the number of frames horizontally (columns) and vertically (rows) in your sprite sheet. For example, if your sprite sheet has 4 frames across and 2 frames down, set columns to 4 and rows to 2. If you already know your frame dimensions in pixels (for example 64 x 64), switch to "By Frame Size" mode and enter them directly - the grid will be calculated for you. If your sheet has padding between frames, use the Advanced offset and spacing options.

Yes! Every frame appears as a clickable thumbnail below the preview - click any frame to include or exclude it, or use the Start Frame and End Frame options to select a range. You can also set a different delay for each frame individually, which is great for holding key poses longer in your animation.

Yes - choose GIF, APNG, or WebP in the Output Options. APNG keeps full 24-bit color and smooth alpha transparency, making it ideal for pixel art. Animated WebP produces smaller files with excellent quality. GIF remains the most widely compatible option. You can also convert the result later with our image converter.

Common frame rates are 10 FPS (100ms delay) for simple animations and 24-30 FPS (33-42ms delay) for smoother motion. The optimal rate depends on your animation style - pixel art often looks better at lower frame rates while smooth animations benefit from higher rates. Use the GIF speed changer to adjust timing after export.
