GIF to Sprite Sheet Converter
Turn any animated GIF into a game-ready sprite sheet. The converter extracts every frame — including tricky partial-frame GIFs — packs them into a grid, and gives you a JSON atlas with the original frame timings.
Drop a GIF here, paste it, or
Your images never leave your browser — everything runs locally.
How it works
- Drop an animated GIF onto the tool.
- The converter decodes every frame, handling transparency and partial-frame optimizations correctly.
- Adjust columns and padding to shape the sheet.
- Export the sheet as a PNG.
- Download the JSON atlas — it includes each frame's position and its original duration in milliseconds.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a GIF to a sprite sheet?
Drop the GIF onto the tool. Every frame is decoded and packed into a grid automatically — adjust the columns if you want a different shape, then export the PNG sheet and its JSON atlas.
Why do some GIFs come out broken in other converters?
Many GIFs only store the pixels that change between frames. Naive converters export those partial frames as-is, producing garbled sheets. This tool composites every frame the way a browser does, so each cell is a complete image.
Does the sheet keep the GIF's timing?
The PNG itself can't store timing, but the JSON atlas includes each frame's original duration in milliseconds, so your engine can replay the animation at the exact original speed.
What are the limits?
GIFs up to 1024×1024 pixels and 256 frames, with a maximum sheet size of 4096×4096. If a GIF exceeds the sheet limit, remove padding or trim the GIF first.
Will transparency be preserved?
Yes — transparent GIF pixels stay transparent in the PNG sheet, which uses full alpha. That's usually an upgrade: PNG transparency is smoother than GIF's single-color transparency.
Is my GIF uploaded anywhere?
No, decoding happens entirely in your browser. Want to go the other way? Use our Sprite Sheet to GIF converter to animate a sheet.
