What Tileset Extractor does

A mock-up or a screenshot of a level is one flat picture, and to edit it you need the tiles it was made from. The Tileset Extractor cuts the picture on its tile grid and keeps every unique tile once. It finds the tile size and where the grid starts by itself, and reads a screenshot saved at 2x, 3x or 4x at its real size.

Mirrored and quarter-turned copies can count as the same tile, and a colour tolerance lets the near copies in a JPEG count as one. You get the tileset as a PNG, a Tiled map and tileset, a Godot 4 TileSet with a TileMapLayer scene that draws your map, and the map as JSON. The tool rebuilds the map from the tileset and tells you it comes out the same picture.

How it works

  1. Drop a map picture, or several (or try ours, a farm from Farm RPG).
  2. Check the tile size and the grid it found; change them if your map uses another.
  3. Choose whether mirrored and turned copies count as one tile, and set a tolerance for a JPEG.
  4. Download the tileset PNG, the Tiled map, the Godot TileSet and scene, and the JSON in one ZIP.

What you get out

  • Tileset PNG (columns, margin, spacing, extruded edges)
  • Tiled map (.tmx) and tileset (.tsx)
  • Godot 4 TileSet (.tres) and a TileMapLayer scene (.tscn)
  • The map as JSON, with each tile's uses
  • Every tile as its own PNG
