Upload a sprite sheet to begin
Set grid dimensions, then click SplitDrag and drop or click to select any sprite sheet image in PNG, JPG, WebP, or GIF format.
Enter the number of columns and rows that match your sprite sheet layout. Optionally set pixel offsets for trimmed sheets.
Click Split, preview all extracted frames, then download them individually or as a single ZIP archive.
A sprite sheet is a single image containing multiple animation frames or tiles arranged in a grid. Game engines, animation tools, and CSS animations use this format for efficiency. This tool lets you reverse the process — splitting a sprite sheet back into its individual frame images for editing, reimporting, or archiving.
The tool accepts PNG, JPG/JPEG, WebP, and GIF files. All processing happens locally in your browser — no image is ever uploaded to a server.
Open your sprite sheet in any image editor and count the distinct frames horizontally (columns) and vertically (rows). Alternatively, divide the total image width by the known frame width to get the column count.
When enabled, frames that are completely transparent (fully empty) are excluded from the output. This is useful for sprite sheets where not every grid cell contains an actual frame — common at the end of the last row.
Some sprite sheets have a border or padding around the entire image. The X and Y offset values let you skip that padding and start extracting frames from the correct position.
Yes. After splitting, click "Download ZIP" to get all extracted frames bundled into a single ZIP archive, named according to your prefix setting (e.g. frame_001.png, frame_002.png).
There is no hard server limit since processing is entirely browser-based. However, very large images (over 8000×8000 pixels) may be slow depending on your device's available memory and GPU.
A sprite sheet splitter is a tool that takes a single sprite sheet image — a grid of animation frames or tiles — and extracts each individual frame into its own file. In game development, UI animation, and web design, sprite sheets (also called sprite atlases or sprite maps) are the standard format for packaging multiple images efficiently. This splitter reverses that process, giving you back the individual frames.

A sprite sheet stores multiple images in a single file arranged in a regular grid. Instead of loading 32 separate frame images for a walking animation, a game engine or CSS animation loads one file and references different rectangular regions of it. This reduces HTTP requests, improves memory efficiency, and makes animation playback smoother.
Common sources of sprite sheets include game engines like Unity and Godot, animation tools like Aseprite and TexturePacker, and web animation libraries. When you need to work with individual frames — for editing, reimporting into a different engine, or repurposing assets — a splitter is the right tool.
This tool uses the HTML5 Canvas API to perform all image processing directly in your browser. When you specify the number of columns and rows, the tool calculates the width and height of each frame by dividing the total image dimensions. It then iterates through every grid position, drawing each region onto a temporary canvas, and converting that canvas to a downloadable PNG file.
No data ever leaves your machine. The image is processed entirely in JavaScript using the Canvas 2D context — making this tool safe for proprietary game assets, client work, and any sensitive imagery.
The most common mistake when using a sprite sheet splitter is entering the wrong row and column counts. Here's how to figure out the correct values:
Some sprite sheets include a border around the entire image, or padding between frames. The X and Y offset inputs let you shift the starting position of the grid. If your sprite sheet has a 2px border around the entire image, set both offset values to 2 and the frames will be extracted correctly without that border being included.
Note: this tool handles uniform grids (all frames the same size, evenly spaced). Irregular atlases with variable frame sizes require a JSON descriptor file to parse — this is a different format not covered by this tool.
Sprite sheets often have empty cells, especially in the last row when the total frame count doesn't evenly divide into the grid. For example, a 4×4 grid holds 16 positions, but if your animation has only 13 frames, the last three cells are empty transparent squares.
The "Skip transparent frames" option detects these empty cells by sampling pixel data from the canvas. If all sampled pixels are fully transparent (alpha = 0), the frame is omitted from the output. This keeps your extracted files clean without manual deletion.
After splitting, you can download all frames at once as a ZIP archive. Frame files are named using your chosen prefix followed by a zero-padded index — for example, frame_001.png, frame_002.png. This naming convention is compatible with most animation tools and game engines that accept numbered image sequences.
The tool accepts any image format that the browser's Canvas API supports — typically PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF. All extracted frames are exported as PNG to preserve transparency. If your source sprite sheet uses JPG (which doesn't support transparency), extracted frames that appear to have transparent regions may actually be white — this is a limitation of the JPG format itself, not the splitter.
