Bitmap Sprite Animator

This online program animates bitmap images (ending with extension .bmp) that contain sprites. A sprite is a single drawing that contains one frame of an animation in a series of drawings that contains the full animation. A sprite sheet is an image that contains many sprites laid out one after another in one file and it may contain multiple animations. Sprite sheets are often used in computer games as game character animations can be saved in a single file rather than several files. All frames that are part of the same animation must be the same size and placed next to each other vertically or horizontally. This sequence of sprites is called an animation strip. When you load a sprite sheet in this tool, it creates an animation by running through the frames in an animation strip. It quickly displays one sprite after another, creating a flipbook-like illusion of character movement. The animation frames can move from left to right, right to left, top to bottom, or bottom to top. Depending on the location and layout of the sprites in your sheet, you can change the direction of the animation in the options. You can also adjust the width and height of a frame and specify the starting position of the animation strip via x and y coordinates (upper left corner has coordinates 0, 0). To set the input bitmap in motion, enable the "Play the Animation" option. Using the frame speed option, you can adjust the duration of one frame (in milliseconds). The zoom option lets you zoom in and zoom out the sprites. By default, the zoom level is 100% but you can make the animation to be twice as small by setting it to 50% or twice as large by setting it to 200%. If the animation is paused, all sprite frames in a sprite strip are highlighted and numbered in the input screen. If you don't want to animate any of the frames, you can skip them by entering their numbers in the skip-sprite option. For example, if you enter "2" in this option, then the second sprite frame will be skipped. If you need to skip multiple sprites, then separate them with a comma (for example, "5, 7, 8, 9") or using a range (for example, "5-9"). You can also add or change the sprite background color in the animation. For example, if the sprite sheet has no background (sprite sheet is transparent), then you can add a background color to it by entering the color "transparent" in the input-background color field and entering the new color in the output-background color field. To change an existing background in all sprites, enter the color of the current background color and the new background color in the options. Optionally, you can set the percentage of color tone deviation from the given color. For example, if the background is white and a little bit gray, then you can enter 10% in this option and it will match both white and 10% of gray colors. The colors can be entered using their names, hex codes, and RBG and RGBA codes. The output animation can also be downloaded as a GIF image.
