Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert a sprite sheet to a GIF?
Upload your sprite sheet as a PNG, JPG or WebP file. Our sprite sheet to GIF converter finds the rows and columns and cuts the frames for you right away. The frames play in order as a looping preview. Open Adjust animation to set playback speed, or move, remove, and reorder frames before you download your looping GIF.
How do I find the rows and columns of my sprite sheet?
Our sprite sheet to GIF converter finds them automatically when you upload your image. The frames across your sheet are the columns, and the frames down the sheet are the rows. You can adjust the numbers in Adjust animation, and the tool cuts your frames again instantly.
Will my GIF keep the transparent background?
Yes. When your sheet has a transparent background, the GIF keeps it clear. Your character sits on any web page or Discord channel in light or dark mode with no black box around it. Only the background turns clear, so black outlines and bright colors stay in place.
What frame rate should I use for a sprite sheet GIF?
Pixel art walk and run cycles usually play at 8 to 12 fps. You can set any speed up to 50 fps (20 ms per frame) in our sprite sheet to GIF tool. Chrome, Firefox and Safari play frames of 20 ms and longer at the speed saved in the file, as shown in Chrome's GIF timing code.
Is this sprite sheet to GIF converter free?
Yes. Our sprite sheet to GIF converter is completely free to use. You get no sign-up, no credits, no watermark, and no daily limit.
Is my sprite sheet uploaded to a server?
No. Your sprite sheet is processed right in your browser and stays on your device. Your art stays private while you make your animation.
How do I stop my character from jumping between frames?
Open Adjust animation and move the jumping frame left, right, up, or down. Nudge each frame until your character stands still with a steady head and planted feet. The looping preview updates at once so you see the smooth motion.
Can I remove empty frames or change the frame order?
Yes. Take out empty cells and any frame that breaks your motion in one click. Move any frame to a new spot in the order, and the looping preview updates right away.
Can I turn an AI-generated sprite sheet into a GIF?
Yes. Upload your sheet, and our sprite sheet to GIF converter cuts the rows and columns for you. Remove frames that break the motion, nudge jumpy frames into line, and download your animation. To create a new sheet from a text description, try our AI Sprite Sheet Generator, which opens directly in this converter in one click.
Do I need Aseprite to turn a sprite sheet into a GIF?
No. Our sprite sheet to GIF converter runs right in your web browser with no software to install. If you draw in Aseprite, follow Aseprite's sprite sheet guide to export a grid or strip with File > Export Sprite Sheet, then upload it here to preview and download your GIF.
Can I use the GIF in a commercial project?
Yes. Your GIFs are free to use in personal and commercial projects. Seadanse adds no watermark, so your animations are ready for games, websites, and store pages.
What files can I upload?
