Spritesheet to GIF Converter LIVE

ID: MIS-004//PLATFORM: PYTHON//AG NOVA INDUSTRIES

A Python utility that automatically detects, slices, and converts transparent spritesheets into animated GIFs.

MISSION / TRANSCRIPT UPDATED 2026-08-01

A custom Python script built using OpenCV and Pillow to extract animated GIFs from static, transparent spritesheets.

The tool first attempts to detect perfect grid structures. If the grid is irregular, it falls back to a contour detection algorithm, identifying individual sprites by their alpha channel boundaries.

It then crops, centers, and pads the frames before saving them as a cleanly looping, transparent animated GIF, preserving the original pixel art fidelity without ghosting.

MISSION / N.O.V.A. NOTE APPENDED
Building a custom computer vision script to extract sprites because he doesn't want to upload them to a website is exactly the kind of workflow optimization I have come to expect.
