Spritesheet slicing
Set rows, columns, start/end frames, and playback speed to quickly preview animation frames from a source sheet.
✦ Browser-based sprite animation prep
Clean, preview, and repack sprite animations.
Spritesheet Editor helps game artists and developers turn raw spritesheets or loose frame PNGs into clean animation sheets with masks, pivots, offsets, pixel edits, indexed colors, and PNG export.
No install. No backend. Open the tool, upload your sprite, edit, and export.
Feature set
Everything needed to prepare a game-ready spritesheet.
Designed around a practical sprite pipeline: upload, slice, inspect animation timing, clean pixels, align frames, reduce colors, and export a repacked sheet.
Animation preview
Scrub the timeline, play the animation, reorder frames, duplicate frames, and import loose frame images.
Mask cleanup
Use mask brush, restore brush, magic wand, background masking, and halo cleanup to remove unwanted pixels.
Pixel editing
Paint directly on frame pixels with a square pixel-perfect brush, dropper, and paint bucket.
Alignment tools
Adjust cage size, pivots, per-frame offsets, scale, rulers, zoom, and pan for precise frame placement.
Indexed color tools
Preview and apply color reduction, preserve transparency, import color tables, and save ACT or PAL palettes.
Workflow
From raw frames to exported PNG in four steps.
1
Upload
Drop in a spritesheet or import individual frame images to build your animation timeline.
2
Preview
Set grid dimensions, playback speed, and scrub through frames to check motion and timing.
3
Clean & align
Mask backgrounds, remove halos, edit pixels, set pivot guides, and nudge each frame into position.
4
Export
Repack the final frame order into a clean PNG using the selected cage size and layout.
