❓ Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Can I extract sprites from photos?

Yes! Upload a photo and our AI will attempt to isolate objects. For best results, use high-contrast images with clear subject separation.

📏 What's the ideal sprite size for Scratch?

⭐ Recommended sizes: - Characters: 64x64 to 128x128 pixels - Items: 32x32 pixels - Backgrounds: 480x360 (matches Scratch stage size)

🔒 Is my sprite data secure?

100% client-side processing - your images never leave your browser. For sensitive assets, we recommend using the tool offline.

🎞 ️ Does this work with GIF animations?

Yes! GIFs will be split into individual frames, with each frame extracted as a separate sprite while preserving animation timing.

Pro Tips

💡Best Practice

Name sprites consistently (e.g., 'hero_run_01.png', 'hero_run_02.png') for easy animation sequencing

🎮Best Practice

For platformers, add 2px padding around sprites to prevent edge artifacts during movement

🏫Best Practice

In classrooms, have students design sprite sheets on paper first before digitizing them
