Hi, my name is J. Baker and I'm the developer of "Sprite Monkey".

Sprite Monkey loads your folder of images and converts them to sprite sheets or strips. It also has features for converting 32bit pngs down to various color formats. It even exports cocos2D code instead of having to use a plist. This means smaller file size and faster response for games.

Check out my app and even test out the demo version. ;)

Sprite Monkey v2 now available! http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sprite-monkey/id455498432?mt=12

•Open Image Folder - Import a folder of PNG images. Sequence images load best when numbered. If your last image has double digits ("MyImage25.png") then the first image should have double digits ("MyImage01.png"), else the images will not load in order or load alphabetically.
•Import Image - Add a single image to your already loaded images. This image will be put at the end of the list. So just make sure you load them all the first time.
•Delete Image - Deletes an image. Image id's will be automatically recalculated and put back in numerical order.
•Drag Image - Move images around with the mouse to reposition them.
•Rotate Image - Right click on an image to rotate it to 270 degrees.
•Reset Columns - Set column/sheet width by selecting an image and using "command + R" keys. If you want to add another column after using "command + R", just move the top-right image to the right a bit and use "command + R" again.
•Snap to Grid - Snaps images to the grid to easily align the images. It snaps to every 8th pixel.
•Clip Alpha Image - Clip 32bit PNG images by using the "-" and "=" (+) keys so you can overlap the images. This evenly clips the width (or height if rotated) of all the images, so it doesn't interfere with the animation sequence. You can use the "command + R" keys to collapse the images to their new clip size.
•Canvas Size - If your need more space to create your sprite sheet, just increase the canvas size.
•Displays image name and coordinates of the selected image.
•Multi-grid coloring set by 8, 32 and 128 pixels for easy image layout.
•Script Editor - To easily create custom sprite coordinate scripts.

New features...

• Auto Scaling Canvas – The canvas is now reduced to the width and height of the image layout and auto scales if needed when moving images around.
• Canvas Zoom – The canvas can now be zoomed up to 4x its normal resolution. This can come in handy for pixel artist who may create small retro style graphics.
