Sprite Sheet Cutter
Drop in a sprite sheet, contact sheet or icon grid and this sprite sheet cutter gives every cell back as its own file. Set the rows and columns your sheet uses — or the exact pixel size of one cell — then download the whole set as one ZIP. It all happens on your own device; nothing is uploaded.

Lower quality means a smaller file. PNG always keeps every pixel, so this control only affects JPG and WebP.
How to cut a sprite sheet into single images
1 · Count the cells
Look at how many cells the sheet has across and down, then choose Into a grid above and put those numbers in Rows and Columns. A sheet of 8 columns × 4 rows gives you 32 separate images.
2 · Or use the exact cell size
If you know the size of one cell in pixels, switch Piece size to By exact pixel size and type the cell width and height. This is the safer option when the cells are not perfectly aligned, because you control the cut exactly.
3 · Drop the partial edge cells
Sheets often end with a partly empty row or column. In pixel mode, tick drop the leftover edge pieces and those partial cells are left out of the export.
What people split this way
Game sprites and animation frames
Export every frame of a walk cycle or attack animation as its own file, numbered row by row, ready to drop into an engine or an animation tool.
Icon and emoji sets
Design tools often export a sheet of icons. Split it once and you have a folder of clean, individually named PNGs for a website or an app.
Scanned contact sheets
Old film contact sheets and proof prints scan as one grid. Split the scan and each frame becomes a separate image you can edit on its own.
Product and catalogue grids
Suppliers regularly send one image containing a grid of product shots. Cut it by rows and columns and every product gets its own file.
Questions about this sprite sheet splitter
Is a sprite sheet cutter the same thing as a sprite sheet splitter?
Yes — two names for the same job. Both mean taking one image that holds a grid of smaller images and cutting it back into separate files. People search for either one, and this page handles both.
What is a sprite sheet?
One image file that holds several smaller images laid out in a regular grid — animation frames, icons, or game characters. Splitting it turns each cell back into a standalone file.
The cells are not perfectly even. Can I still split it?
Yes. Use By exact pixel size and enter one cell's width and height. When the sheet does not divide evenly, the leftover pixels are spread across the pieces so no part of the image is lost.
Will transparency be kept?
Yes, if you export as PNG. PNG keeps the alpha channel, so transparent cells stay transparent. JPG has no transparency and fills the background with white.
How are the exported files named?
Grid splits are named by position — _r1c1, _r1c2 and so on, counting from the top-left. Single-axis splits are numbered in order, like _part01.
Is there a size limit?
No limit set by this page. The real ceiling is your device's memory, so very large sheets may take a moment — everything is processed locally by your browser.
