How to Crop a Sprite Sheet with SnapGrid
Use grid or freehand cropping in SnapGrid and export individual PNG images or a ZIP archive.
Choose the image and the right mode
Open SnapGrid and load your sprite sheet. Use grid mode when the frames are arranged in regular rows and columns. Use freehand mode when the regions have different sizes or irregular placement.
Set up a regular grid
Adjust the grid controls to match the sheet and inspect the preview. Check the first and last frames, especially when the source includes margins or spacing. A misaligned grid can cut off artwork or include neighbouring frames.
Select irregular regions
Switch to freehand mode and draw a region around each image you want to keep. Check the boundaries before generating the crops. Leave enough room for the whole sprite while avoiding adjacent artwork.
Inspect the cropped images
Generate the crops and review the result list. Look for clipped edges, unwanted padding, or frames that include parts of another sprite. Adjust the selection and crop again when necessary.
Download PNGs or a ZIP
Use an image’s download button for an individual PNG, or export all cropped images as a ZIP. Extract the archive and verify dimensions and ordering before importing the assets into your game or design project.
