How to use the Sprite Maker
- Pick a canvas size, such as 16×16 or 32×32 pixels.
- Draw with the pencil, fill, line, rectangle and ellipse tools. Turn on Mirror to draw both sides of a character at once.
- Add or duplicate frames to animate it; the previous frame shows faintly behind so movement lines up, and the preview plays as you go.
- Download a sprite sheet (in one row or a grid), an animated GIF or a PNG, at up to 16 times the size. Save the project to keep working on it later.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a sprite sheet?
- One picture holding every frame of an animation side by side. Game engines cut it back into frames, so you load one file instead of many.
- Will my pixels stay sharp when scaled up?
- Yes. Downloads are enlarged by whole numbers with no smoothing, so every pixel becomes a clean square.
- Can I edit a sprite sheet I already have?
- Yes. Open a PNG strip or grid and it is split into frames: square frames for a strip, or the whole picture as one frame. Pictures up to 256×256 pixels per frame.
- Can I use what I make in my own game?
- Yes. What you draw is yours; we claim no rights to it.
- Is my work saved?
- Not automatically. Use Save project to download a file you can open here again. Nothing is uploaded.
- Is the Sprite Maker free?
- Yes. It's free to use, with no sign-up and nothing to install. Your files stay on your device.
