About Tool

Sprite Fusion is designed for indie game developers, hobbyists, and small studios who want a simple but powerful tool to build 2D game environments. You can import any tileset, place tiles on a grid, and design full levels including terrain, collision layers, and layout quickly. Once the map is ready, you can export it directly into engines like Unity, Godot, or Defold, or as a generic tilemap file for custom workflows. Sprite Fusion supports auto-tiling, smart fill, collision layers, and exports compatible with virtual tabletop applications, making it versatile for games, retro-style projects, or RPG mapping. Its free-for-web use and ease of access make it ideal for starting 2D map design.
