About

Split a sprite sheet by frame size or a columns × rows grid, preview the selected frames, and create an animated GIF entirely in your browser.

Turn a sprite sheet into a simple animated GIF without manually exporting every cell. Enter each frame’s width and height or describe the sheet as columns by rows, choose where playback starts, set the frame count and delay, then preview and download the result locally.

What you can do

  • Calculates frames from pixel dimensions or a columns × rows grid.
  • Supports a 1-based starting frame, a selected frame count, delay, and looping.
  • Highlights selected cells, previews individual frames, and encodes the GIF locally.

Common uses

  • Preview a game character or UI animation from a packed sprite sheet.
  • Turn a pixel-art sprite strip into a quick GIF reference.
  • Export only a section of a larger animation sheet for documentation or sharing.

Frequently asked questions

How are frames ordered?

Frames are read left to right across each row, then continue on the next row. Any partial cells at the right or bottom edge are ignored.

Does the tool upload my sprite sheet?

No. The image is read, previewed, and encoded into a GIF entirely in your browser.
