Turn any sprite sheet into a looping animated GIF right in your browser. Set the grid by columns or exact pixel size, add offsets and spacing for padded sheets, preview at any frame rate, and export a crisp, pixel-perfect GIF with transparency.

Sprite Sheet to GIF turns the frames of a sprite sheet into a looping animated GIF, entirely in your browser. Upload a PNG, JPG, or WebP sheet, describe the grid, preview the motion at any speed, and download a GIF that plays everywhere — Discord, forums, documentation, devlogs, and store pages. Nothing is uploaded to a server; the encoding happens on your device.
Upload your sheet, then set the number of columns and rows — or switch to pixel mode and enter the exact frame width and height; strips of square frames are detected automatically. If the sheet has padding, use the positioning controls for top and left offsets and the spacing between tiles, and confirm the slicing against the dimmed overlay. The live preview plays exactly what the GIF will contain: pick a frame rate from 1 to 30 fps, choose an output scale, and press Download GIF.
Pixel art survives the trip. When your animation uses 256 colors or fewer — which covers almost all sprite work — the GIF is built from your exact palette, with no dithering and no color drift; larger palettes are reduced cleanly with median-cut quantization. Scaling uses nearest-neighbor, so a 2x, 4x, or 8x GIF stays perfectly sharp, and transparent pixels in your sheet stay transparent in the final file.
Share a walk cycle in a devlog, post an attack animation to Discord or itch.io, drop a looping preview into your asset store listing, or attach motion references to a pull request. GIFs play inline everywhere without a video player, which makes them the standard way to show game animation on the web — and this converts straight from the sheet your engine already uses, with no screen recording or cropping.
The frame rate slider maps directly to GIF frame delays, and the exported file loops forever by default. Most platforms refuse to play GIF frames faster than about 50 fps, so the 1 to 30 fps range here is always safe. File size grows with output dimensions and frame count — 1x native size is smallest, 8x is the crispest for showing off detail — and the status line under the button reports the final dimensions and size. Need a single still instead? The Download button below the preview exports the current frame as PNG, JPG, or WebP.
