- Restrict sprite sheet size to power-of-two or square
- Rotate sprites
- Move sprites manually using the mouse or keyboard

Manipulate your sprites

- Trim sprites
- Explode sprites do disjunct parts
- Merge sprites
- Modify sprite bounds

Edit your sprites textures

Works good for creating sprite sheet animations

• ☆☆☆☆☆   Console Cowboy 11 years ago

Core functionality, creating a texture atlas (sprite sheet) with corresponding plist, works great and is very easy to use. Has some basic texture editing functionality that works in a pinch for quick edits but I would recommend getting to know Pixelmator if you need to do any serious editing. Also never really used Atlas to generate a "hit polygon" so not sure how well it works, I prefer using applications for their core functionality and PolygonVertexHelper is my preferred tool for generating bounding vertices. That said Atlas is a great tool for creating sprite sheet based animations, highly recommend.
