Sprite Sheet Packer

Sprite Sheet Packer is a tiny tool designed to combine multiple individual images into a single laid out image. The tool can make additional files that map the image file names with rectangles, which can come in handy when searching for certain regions. The output should be a transparent image, where the transparency is visible anywhere another image is not drawn.

The program comes with a minimalistic interface and getting started entails adding the files to be combined. Adding the files can be done with drag and drop as well as browsing to the location. There are several settings that can be tweaked, namely the image padding as well as the maximum sheet size width and height. Additional options include requiring a power-of-two sized or a square output.

In terms of compatibility, the application supports the standard image file formats, namely GIF, BMP, JPG and PNG. However, take note that the output image is in a PNG format. According to the developer, the app also supports plugins, so users can create images or map files more conveniently. Simply put, once a DLL with the types of desired files in it is compiled, it can be placed next to the executable and run the app.
