How to extract sprites from a sprite sheet?

To unpack a sprite sheet and save the individual sprites as separate PNG files, TexturePacker has a built-in sprite extractor tool. You can open it by clicking on the Split Sheet button in the toolbar:

Open TexturePacker's sprite sheet splitter

This Sprite Sheet Splitter tool supports multiple extraction modes:

  • grid for evenly spaced sprites
  • rectangle detection uses transparency to find sprite bounds
  • data file uses an accompanying atlas metadata file to precisely locate sprites

The extracted sprites can be saved as separate image files for repacking or other use. See the TexturePacker documentation and this tutorial for more details.
