How do I cut a sprite sheet into individual frames?

Upload your sprite sheet, enter either the number of rows/columns or the pixel dimensions of a single frame (e.g., 32x32 or 64x64). The tool calculates the slice grid and lets you download all frames as a ZIP archive.

Can I preview the animation before downloading?

Yes! The live interactive animation player cycles through the sliced frames with play, pause, and adjustable FPS speed controls.

Are my game art files private?

Yes. All image slicing, canvas operations, and ZIP archiving occur locally in your browser with no network transfers.

Sprite Sheet & Slice Grid

Slice by Grid Count (Cols × Rows) Slice by Frame Size (Width × Height)

Columns How many frames across the sheet is laid out in.

Rows How many frames down the sheet is laid out in.

Border around the sheet In pixels. Empty space before the first frame, on every edge.

Gap between frames In pixels. Sheets from our GIF to Sprite Sheet or Packer tools use the same number for both.

How to Cut Sprite Sheets into PNG Frames

Set Frame Dimensions

Enter the column count or exact pixel dimensions (e.g. 16x16, 32x32, 64x64, 128x128).

Preview & Export ZIP

Watch the real-time animation player test your frames, then download all individual PNGs in one ZIP archive.

About this tool

Why Slice Sprite Sheets?

Sprite sheets combine multiple frames into a single image to optimize game loading. However, when editing character animations, tweaking frames in Aseprite/Photoshop, or importing into engines that require individual frame files, you need a quick cutter tool.

No Software Needed: Cut complex sheets directly in your browser with zero installation.
Live Animation Player: Ensure your frame ordering and FPS timing are perfect before exporting.
Complete Privacy: Your proprietary game assets and character art are never uploaded.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What formats can I upload and export?

You can upload PNG, JPG, or WebP sprite sheets. All individual frames are exported as lossless, transparent PNG files.

How does ZIP downloading work?

We generate the ZIP file in your browser memory using JSZip and trigger a direct file download with no server involvement.

What if my sprite sheet has gaps between frames?

Set the gap between frames and the border around the sheet, then use either mode — the grid lines show exactly where each cut lands. The cutter handles regular grids; trimmed or irregular atlases (frames of different sizes) need the JSON map that came with them instead. If the sheet does not divide evenly, the status line tells you how many pixels fall outside every frame.
