What GIF to Sprite Sheet does

An effect or a character you only have as a GIF cannot go into an engine as it is. GIF to Sprite Sheet splits the GIF into whole frames, the way a browser plays it, with its colours, transparency and disposal, even when the file only stores what changed between frames.

A strip shows every frame with its number and how long it lasts. Lay the frames out as a grid or a strip, add padding and a margin, trim the empty border and scale pixel art up to 8x with no blur. One ZIP holds the sheet, every frame as its own PNG, a JSON atlas that keeps each frame's duration, and a Godot 4 SpriteFrames that plays at the GIF's own timing. Several GIFs dropped together become separate animations on one sheet.

How it works

  1. Drop an animated GIF, or several (or try our knight's sword attack).
  2. Watch it play at its real speed and check each frame's delay in the strip.
  3. Pick a grid or a strip, the columns, padding, trim and scale.
  4. Download the sheet, the frames, the JSON and the Godot SpriteFrames in one ZIP.

What you get out

  • Sprite sheet PNG (grid, row or column, 1x to 8x)
  • Every frame as its own PNG
  • JSON atlas with each frame's duration
  • Godot 4 SpriteFrames (.tres) with each frame's duration
