How to Convert a Video to a Sprite Sheet
3 min read · Updated August 2026
Rendered an effect in Blender or After Effects? Recorded footage you want as a flipbook texture? The Video → Sprite Sheet converter steps through an MP4 or WebM at your chosen sampling rate, captures each frame, and packs the result into a sheet — without the video ever leaving your machine.
Open the video converter — free, in your browser, no signup.
- Load the video. Drop an MP4 or WebM into the upload area. Anything your browser can play, the converter can sample.
- Pick a sampling rate. Set "Frames per second to sample" (1–30, default 10) and click "Extract Frames". A 3-second clip at 10 FPS becomes 30 frames. Extraction is capped at 300 frames, so for long clips either lower the rate or trim the video first.
- Set the grid and export. Exactly like the GIF converter: choose the column count, watch the sheet dimensions update, then "Download Sheet + JSON" — or "Send to Export & Download" for renaming, tags, and engine-specific formats.
Tips
- 10–12 FPS is plenty for most game animations — it halves the sheet size versus 24 FPS and still reads smoothly, especially with engine-side interpolation.
- Video frames are opaque. If you need transparency (say, an explosion for a particle flipbook), render with a solid green or magenta background and run the sheet through the Background Removal tool afterwards.
- Frame dimensions match the video exactly — a 1080p clip gives 1920×1080 frames, which fills the 8192 px sheet budget after just 8 frames. Scale the video down first if you only need small sprites.
