AutoSprite turns a single character image into a full spritesheet for your game. Whether you're building in Unity, Godot, GameMaker, or Phaser, this guide will show you exactly how to create professional animations in minutes. ## What is AutoSprite? AutoSprite is an AI-powered tool that generates game-ready spritesheets from a single image. Here's what it does: - You upload **one character image** - AutoSprite generates **animation loops** (idle, walk, run, jump, attack, and custom) - You download a **spritesheet + JSON** and plug it into your game engine No animation skills required. No frame-by-frame drawing. Just upload and generate. ## Watch the Tutorial ## Step-by-Step Guide Start with a clear, front-facing or side-view character image. **Tips for best results:** - One character per image - Make sure the character isn't cut off at the feet or head - Avoid busy, detailed backgrounds Select from preset animations or create custom ones: - **Idle** - Breathing/standing loop - **Walk** - Walking cycle - **Run** - Running animation - **Jump** - Jump arc - **Attack** - Combat animation - **Custom** - Name it anything Click generate and AutoSprite creates short video loops, then converts them into a spritesheet. This typically takes 30-60 seconds per animation. Use the built-in game preview to test your character: - Control movement with arrow keys or WASD - Adjust animation speed - See how transitions look in-game - Regenerate individual animations if needed Export your spritesheet in formats ready for any engine: - **PNG spritesheet** - All frames in one image - **JSON metadata** - Frame positions and timing data - Works with Unity, Godot, Phaser, GameMaker, RPG Maker, and more ## Tips for Best Results **Use high-resolution images.** The better your input, the better your output. 1024x1024 or larger works great. ## Common Issues & Fixes **"My character is cut off or too small"** Crop closer around the character and re-upload. **"The animation feels floaty or jittery"** Slow down the movement in the preview, or regenerate that specific animation. **"Background shows up in my spritesheet"** Use an image with higher contrast between character and background, or use a transparent PNG. ## Supported Game Engines AutoSprite exports work with virtually any 2D game engine: - **Unity** - Import as 2D sprites (we also have a [Unity plugin](https://assetstore.unity.com/preview/342920/1157588)) - **Godot** - Direct import with AnimatedSprite2D - **GameMaker** - Import sprite strip - **Phaser** - Load with atlas JSON - **RPG Maker** - Character sprite format - **Construct** - Sprite animation import - **Any engine** that supports spritesheets ## Ready to Create?
