About the Sprite Sheet to GIF
The Img Stop Sprite Sheet to GIF tool turns a grid of frames – a sprite sheet – into an animated GIF. It is the quickest way to see a game character’s walk cycle in motion, share an animation with someone who has no game engine, or post your pixel art as a GIF.
Tell the tool how many columns and rows the sheet has and how many frames to use (useful when the last row is not full). Choose the frame rate and loop setting and watch the live preview before you download. Your image never leaves your browser.

When to use it
- Preview a character walk or attack animation from a game sprite sheet.
- Share pixel art animations on social media or Discord as GIFs.
- Show an animation in a game jam page or portfolio.
- Rebuild a GIF after editing its frames as one sprite sheet.
Tips for the best result
- Every cell must be the same size – the sheet width must divide evenly by the columns.
- 8–12 fps suits most pixel art; 24 fps or more looks smoother for detailed animation.
- Set the frame count if the last row has empty cells, so the GIF does not flash a blank frame.
Frequently asked questions
How do I turn a sprite sheet into a GIF?
Add the image to the Img Stop Sprite Sheet to GIF tool, enter columns and rows, set the frame rate and loop, then download the GIF.
What if my sheet has empty cells?
Set the number of frames to use, and the empty cells at the end are skipped.
Is transparency kept?
Transparent areas in a PNG sheet become GIF transparency; soft edges become on/off because GIF supports only full transparency.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The sheet is cut into frames and turned into a GIF on your device.
