What is a sprite sheet?
A sprite sheet is one image that contains multiple frames or graphic elements. A game or webpage draws a selected rectangle instead of loading a separate file for each frame. A regular grid uses equal cells; a packed atlas may use different rectangles and needs metadata. This viewer’s grid controls suit regular sheets. Use the exact layout information supplied with your artwork rather than guessing a packed atlas into equal cells.
Preview the sequence with the correct grid
Set rows and columns so each cell contains one full frame. Margins and padding affect the rectangle boundaries. A cropped hand or a line from the next frame usually means the grid does not match the sheet. Adjust playback FPS to inspect motion. A static PNG sheet does not carry the original animation’s frame delays, so the selected FPS defines the preview rhythm.
Sprite sheet to GIF
GIF export turns the selected grid sequence into an animation with the playback speed you choose. It does not recover timing that is absent from the source. GIF uses a limited palette and binary transparency, so soft PNG edges or many colors may change. Compare the animation against a checkerboard or contrasting background before sharing it.
Sprite sheet splitter
Splitting exports the cells as individual images in a ZIP. Extract the archive before importing the frames into another editor. Check for blank cells or non-animation assets on a mixed sheet; they should not become unintended animation frames. This page is a tool and guide for your own artwork, not a catalog of licensed game assets.

Frequently asked questions
What is a sprite sheet used for?
It stores multiple frames or graphic elements in one image. Games and webpages draw selected rectangles to display a frame or play an animation.
How do I convert a sprite sheet to GIF?
Match the grid to your image, choose the playback speed and export a GIF. The chosen speed supplies timing because the sheet itself has no frame delays.
How do I split a sprite sheet into separate images?
Set the cell boundaries and export the frames as a ZIP. Extract it to access the individual images.
Why are my sprite frames cut off?
The row, column, padding or margin values probably do not match the source layout. Packed atlases may require metadata rather than equal grid cells.
Can I download free game sprite artwork here?
