Looking for a good Image Sprite generator tool

Question

I looking for a decent Image sprite generator. I tried http://spritegen.website-performance.org/ but it's not "smart" enough to handle multiple image dimensions and merge them with few blank spaces between images.

Any suggestions???

To me, python glue http://glue.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html is the best and you can automate a lot of things too as part of your build process. — droidbot, Nov 03 '13 at 19:58

ZeroSprites is a CSS sprites generator aimed at area minimization using VLSI floorplaning algorithms. It can generate tighter sprites sheet than Sprite Generator and Spritemapper.

ZeroSprites does a great job. Besides optimizing image layout it allows multiple image upload, which is great when you have a lot of images. – santa Sep 13 '13 at 18:19
any tool which doesn't let you choose the output file format and quality is not good at all. – vsync Dec 23 '13 at 11:03

PNG is a lossless format, so you can convert the output to other format yourself. – clyfish Dec 23 '13 at 13:07
only works with PNGs, not really useful... – Gery Nov 14 '16 at 17:11

I have used them all and Sprite Cow is by far the best.

Update: There's a really cool new tool called SpritePad. It's an even better solution.

I use csssprites.com. Its interface is a little rudimentary, but it has some good options for getting it just right, and has worked well for me.

I saw that one too, didn't like it either :P – João Louros May 13 '11 at 21:54
What don't you like about it? Perhaps if you put in your requirements (and more details in general about what you're looking for), you'll get a better response. – Shauna May 13 '11 at 22:42

I created a CSS Image Sprite Generator on my website that you may find useful. It's simple but does the job, check it out at: http://jstiles.com/Applications/CSS-Image-Sprite-Generator. And if there are any specific options/updates you want - I may be able to code them in for you; just contact me through my website, thanks.

Doesn't work when I try to upload a 800+kb zip though for my title animation hahaha :P – Isaiah Aug 25 '11 at 14:43
You have error reporting enabled and raw PHP errors are displayed rather than being logged / custom error messages displayed. This is bad practice for a live site. – Majid Fouladpour Mar 09 '14 at 22:53
