Sprite Sheet Cutter: Split a sprite sheet into individual frames

A Sprite Sheet Cutter, also called a Sprite Sheet Splitter or Slicer, cuts a sprite sheet into individual images. A sprite sheet is a graphic containing many equally sized animation frames or different icons arranged in a grid. Games can load one file instead of hundreds of small images this way. But for editing, Mods or another tool, you often need the frames separately again.

Add the sheet to the tool. It usually detects the grid automatically; otherwise, set the columns and rows or the size of a sprite. Check the grid in the preview and play the animation at 1 to 60 frames per second. Once every frame lines up, download them all as a ZIP or click to select the ones you want first. This usually takes less than a minute.

Yes, for PNGs and GIFs with transparency. The tool finds the transparent gaps between sprites and uses them to determine the columns, rows, margins and spacing. It also detects solid-color divider lines between frames. JPGs have no transparency, so you set the grid yourself using either columns and rows or sprite size; the tool calculates the other value. If detection is off, correct it under “Adjust grid.” “Auto-detect” restores the detected settings.

Offset is the margin at the top and left before the first frame begins. Spacing is the gap between two frames, such as a 2-pixel-wide divider. Spacing applies only between frames, not after the last one. The tool shows any pixels left over on the right or bottom as unused space.

Yes. An animated GIF opens directly in GIF mode. The tool splits it into up to 200 individual frames and reconstructs each one fully, even if the GIF stores only the changed areas. Download the frames as PNGs or together as a ZIP. If the GIF is actually a sprite sheet, turn off “Export GIF frames” to use its first frame as the sheet. It is a Sprite Sheet Cutter and GIF Splitter in one.

Individual PNG files, one per frame, optionally bundled in a ZIP. PNG is lossless and preserves transparency, even if the original is a JPG. A sprite sheet measuring 274 × 138 px with 8 columns, 4 rows, an offset of 2 px, and spacing of 2 px produces 32 frames of 32 × 32 px each, saved as sprite_00.png through sprite_31.png in a ZIP file. File names follow a pattern using {index}, {row} and {col}; the default is sprite_{index}. Numbering can start at 0 or 1 and be padded with zeros. Duplicate names in the ZIP get _2, _3 appended.

The tool is free and requires no account. Your browser reads and splits the image, then makes the files available to download. There is no upload or storage. You can check the Network tab in your browser’s developer tools to see that splitting the image sends no request containing it.

PNG, JPG and GIF up to 200 MB and 16,384 pixels per side. The tool automatically detects grids in images up to 8192 × 8192 pixels; a grid can contain up to 10,000 frames. It uses a uniform grid: on a master sheet with blocks of different cell sizes, use “Select area” to draw a rectangle around a block. “Skip empty frames” helps with a partially filled last row. The tool cannot split packed texture atlases with frames scattered across them.
