What Sprite Sheet Maker does

Your animation is fifty loose PNGs and the engine wants one sheet. Drop the frames in and the Sprite Sheet Maker orders them by name the way you numbered them (walk_2 before walk_10), then lays them out in a grid or packs them tight with the transparent borders trimmed.

The sheet comes as a PNG with a JSON atlas in the JSON Hash form that Phaser and PixiJS load as it is, and a Godot 4 SpriteFrames file for an AnimatedSprite2D. Frames named walk_01, walk_02 and idle_01 become the animations walk and idle in both files. Padding, a margin and power-of-two sizes are one click each, and a preview plays any group at the speed you set.

How it works

  1. Drop your frames on the box (or try our walking adventurer).
  2. Pick Grid or Packed tight, and set frames per row, padding and margin.
  3. Check the order and the animation preview; move or remove frames.
  4. Download the PNG with its JSON atlas and Godot SpriteFrames.

What you get out
