About Sheetah – Spritesheet Tools
Sheetah – Spritesheet Tools generates a single spritesheet from an After Effects composition and includes utilities for creating custom animation sequences. Export is performed with one button, writing PNG, TGA or TIFF files that retain the alpha channel, while the plugin calculates optimal dimensions. The user interface is a dockable panel that saves its settings between sessions. Animation sequences can be saved as .txt files, and an optional Photoshop script can turn image sequences or movies into spritesheets. Sheetah is compatible with a wide range of After Effects versions, from CS5 through the 2026 release, and can be installed via the aescripts+aeplugins manager.
