Everyone who has worked with fan games and used sprite sheets by 3rd party probably has grown grey hairs while carefully cutting and pasting and aligning sprites because they weren't aligned at all or in some form that you didn't want to. I definitely have, and so I made this.:)
SpriteCut is a application which makes creating organized sprite sheets from big messy collections easy!
Features:
- Give your settings and create sprite sheets by just clicking at the wished sprites and they will be automatically parsed and organized into the sheet being created for you to edit according to your wishes! It's that easy! And they will be automatically aligned pixel by pixel so no more twitching in Paint because they weren't aligned and animation was messy.
- Process the whole image or parts of it with just a press of a button! All sprites inside will be automatically processed.
- Test animations
- Edit sprites by mirroring, rotating, resizing or duplicating
- Render final image as .bmp
This is a great tool for those who make sprite sheets for others to use, too! ;)
DOWNLOAD

Only for Windows! Might work with Wine, but haven't tested
IMPORTANT! THERE IS NO GUI YET SO READING README.txt IS ESSENTIAL! I AM WORKING ON BETTER DOCUMENTATION AND TUTORIAL AND I AM HAPPY TO ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS!:exclamation:
Known bugs/issues:
- In some images parsing whole image misses some of the sprites, for reasons so far unknown to me, working on that. In this case, use auto parsing and click through the sprites, that works 100% of the time!
- While using grid, the output image goes off screen if too big
- Help dialog is out of screen if image too small
Coming features:
- GUI
- Proper documentation and maybe video tutorial
- Moving sprites in editing window

For example, just a press of a button and this:

turns to this

or let's say you want the two top rows of this Mario sprite sheet into a gridded 30*30 sheet

well just enclose them in selection and press F10 or click one by one

I use another tool called Stitcher to make the same thing, but this seams to works way better.
