Love Sprite Studio

LÖVE Sprite Studio is a desktop tool for preparing sprites and animations for LÖVE2D. I built it to speed up my own asset workflow, then decided to share it after it helped me spend less time on setup and more time making games.

Import sprites or sprite sheets, organize animations, set pivots, and export game-ready assets for LÖVE2D.

Features

• Import individual sprites, image sequences, and sprite sheets.
• Organize frames in a visual timeline and drag to reorder them.
• Duplicate, delete, move, or copy frames between animations.
• Preview animations with zoom, grid, Onion Skin, reverse playback, and Once, Cycle, or Ping Pong loops.
• Set pivots per frame, selection, animation, or project.
• Build optimized atlases with padding, extrude, transparency trimming, and configurable maximum size.
• Export standalone sprite sheets for any engine, or ready-to-use LÖVE2D modules and runnable LÖVE examples.
• Save portable .lss projects that package frames and retain reimport information when sources are available.

Export Your Way

For LÖVE2D, export atlas PNG pages plus a generated .lua module with quads, pivots, frame timing, loop modes, and a simple play/update/draw API—so there is less asset setup code to write.

For any other engine, export standalone atlas PNG sprite sheets and use them however you prefer.

LÖVE Sprite Studio is designed to remove repetitive asset-prep work, so you can get back to building your game sooner.
