Just a heads up; lots of discussion online regarding Switch 2 reverse engineering. Data is cropping up, and models are being converted - however, we won't be accepting contributions for Switch 2 titles at this time. This may be disappointing to some, but it's self preservation.

We've operated for over 2 decades with appreciation and respect, while this latest development continues to be squashed. As such, we have no intention of throwing ourselves into the firing line and putting our existing efforts into jeopardy. There will come a time, but that time is not yet.

We understand the excitement, we know this will not be what some people will want to hear, but we feel it is in everybody's best interest for the long term rather than a short term flash in the pan dopamine hit.

We're cooking up something pretty exciting behind the scenes. Some of you may recall seeing some concepts a while back that our team was exploring - we're now working to make those concepts a reality. It will be some time, but we hope that you'll welcome a new archive to our network in the future!

Auf Wiedersehen, Gamescom! We had an amazing time. So excited to come back again (maybe next year??) It was an overwhelming pleasure to meet so many amazing people, and to have such stunning guests join us for our show. We are honoured to have been given the space.

Making progress on an overhaul to Spriters Toolkit. Next version includes a mobile layout & extensive improvements to all tools, along with a design unification now the toolkit's scope has been realised. Did you know it all started with just a sprite sheet splitter? My, how it grew and grew!

Where'd ya find them sprites, eh? 💞

Fun fact! Did you know that when we began thinkin' up ideas for Super Yooka-Laylee Kart, @playtonicdean.bsky.social actually drew over a Mario Kart SNES sprite with Yooka as the driver? Yooka's cuteness lives on, even in 16-bit style! 👾

You may see a drop in approvals for the rest of this month while Dazz is in Japan to attend BitSummit. We apologise for any delays! If you're at BitSummit, or around Tokyo for the next couple weeks, let us know! Hopefully we will see some of you there :)

Just had some stock arrived for Debug Games Festival in 2 weeks - would you buy a Spriters Resource shirt or tote? We opted for eco-friendly inks and base stock from a great local printer - no current plans to sell online, but if there is demand...

I went to the Animal Crossing event at the Sea Life centre today and it kinda sucked honestly. They replaced last year's Gulliver plush with his thumbnail image on the Models Resource.

These tools are not just free, but ad-free too - there is zero benefit to us for you to use them. We use them ourselves, and it's simply a case of not gatekeeping our own tools. It only makes sense that everyone should benefit from the effort.

The site's animation feature now supports APNG, providing more precise frame rates & alpha transparency! We also overhauled the underlying code that gives playback control. Excited to see more animations be uploaded! We also now have a permanent link to The Spriters Toolkit in the sidebar!

The Spriters Toolkit, previously Dazz's tSR Tools, offers a quick way of splitting sprite sheets into individual frames - which can also then be put into the built-in GIF creator to render animations, that can then subsequently be added to that asset page on the main site!

The full stage lineup for Debug Games Festival 2026 is officially confirmed! Join Ashens, Mr John Robertson, Josh Strife Hayes, Did You Know Gaming?, Mr Louis King, Lucia La Rezza, High Scored, and Sonic the Hedgehog artist Duncan Gutteridge on the Arena Stage this April 25 April // Norwich, UK

We have plans to improve the animation aspect of Spriters Resource. We currently accept GIFs, but there are many limitations to the format that make it less useful for modern titles. We're making good progress in our efforts! It should improve performance of animation playback quite dramatically.

HUGE thanks to VGHF for reaching out & taking this case seriously. We've dealt with false DMCAs around this for years, and despite our own investigation and approaching those involved, without legal representation we were ignored. Cookie's Bustle will finally stop bringing us pain!
