It gives the x, y, width and height of every packed image, which is what you feed to CSS background-position or a game engine's atlas loader.
Pack many images into a single sprite sheet and get a JSON coordinate map alongside it. One HTTP request instead of fifty is still one of the most effective front-end performance wins available. It is free, needs no account, and adds no watermark to your result.

Split an image into rows and columns and download the resulting tiles individually or as a ZIP.
Generate common favicon sizes and an ICO file from a source image for websites and web apps.
Create printable contact sheets from many images with thumbnails, filenames, rows, columns and page margins.
Convert PNG images to WebP while preserving alpha transparency and controlling output quality.
