Sprite Sheet Generator for Construct 3
Construct imports sprite strips by cell count, not by metadata. Export a tight, evenly spaced sheet and the animation editor splits it in one dialog.

Uniform PNG strip, zero gutter
Construct splits a strip by horizontal and vertical cell count, and it does not ask about padding. That makes the rule simple: export with the gutter set to zero and a perfectly uniform grid. Construct then divides the image evenly and every frame lands on the pixel. Construct adds its own bleeding protection when it builds the runtime spritesheet, so you lose nothing by dropping the gutter.
Getting the sheet into Construct 3
- 1
Export with zero gutter
Set spacing to 0 and keep the grid uniform. Note the number of columns and rows.

Add a Sprite object
Insert a Sprite into the layout. The Animations editor opens automatically.

In the animation properties, set Speed in frames per second and tick Loop if the animation cycles.

Exact cell counts
The editor tells you columns and rows, which are literally the two numbers the import dialog asks for.
Zero-gutter export
Drop the spacing to 0 and the strip divides evenly. No padding maths, no half-pixel frames.
GIF to strip
Drop an animated GIF in, get every frame extracted, and export the strip Construct wants.
Timing preview
Confirm the loop reads right before you type a Speed value into Construct.
