In their own words
RenderPop Spritesheet Editor
RenderPop Spritesheet Editor is a free browser-based editor for preparing and exporting 2D sprite animations. It accepts spritesheets, individual frames, GIF, PSD, and MP4 sources. Frame-based controls let users set rows and columns, choose ranges and playback speed, scrub a timeline, reorder frames, and duplicate them. Cleanup tools include masking and restore brushes, a magic wand, background masking, halo cleanup, pixel brush, dropper, and paint bucket. Alignment covers cage size, pivots, per-frame offsets, scale, rulers, zoom, and pan. Color tools reduce colors while preserving transparency, import color tables, and save ACT or PAL palettes. Pixel Font Creator handles bitmap fonts, spacing, offsets, previews, and styled text sprites. Sprite Compositor builds scenes with layered clips, text, fades, and audio, then renders animations. Reference layers support transparency and transforms. Exports include GIFs, repacked spritesheets, styled text sprites, and palettes. The maker says it runs without a backend and requires no installation or account.
