Frequently asked questions

Does my sprite sheet get uploaded anywhere?

No. The slicer reads your file with the browser and cuts it on a canvas. Nothing is sent to a server, and the tool works offline once the page has loaded.

How do I slice a sheet with spacing between frames?

Use margin for the empty border around the whole sheet and padding for the gap between neighboring frames. The grid overlay shows exactly where each cut lands, so you can adjust until it lines up.

What is the difference between a horizontal and a vertical strip?

A horizontal strip places all frames in one row, which is the usual format for 2D walk and attack animations. A vertical strip stacks frames in one column, which is how Terraria style NPC sheets are laid out.

Does the slicer keep transparency and pixel art crispness?

Yes. Frames are copied pixel for pixel with smoothing disabled and exported as PNG, so alpha channels and hard pixel edges are preserved.

How large can the image be?

Up to 4096 by 4096 pixels. Larger images are rejected with a clear message so your browser tab stays responsive.
