Sprite Fusion
What it is
Sprite Fusion is a browser-based tilemap editor for designing 2D game maps, with a free web edition and a desktop edition. Users can import tilesets by dragging and dropping, loading an image, or pasting from the clipboard, then draw using pencil, fill, selection, and attribute tools. Autotile layers select tiles based on neighboring cells and support variants, weights, and reusable rule presets. Collision layers can be exported to supported targets. Game export options include Unity, Godot 3 and 4, Defold, Bevy, Love2D, GDevelop, Phaser, Cocos, and GB Studio; other formats include TMX, Sprite Fusion JSON, PNG, and UVTT. UVTT files can represent collision layers as wall boundaries for virtual tabletop software such as Foundry VTT. The free web edition allows unlimited projects, personal and commercial use, and no login, but its map export limit is 4.5MB. The desktop edition costs $14.99 once, works offline, exports maps of any size, and includes lifetime updates. Windows and macOS builds are available, as well as an experimental 64-bit Linux build.
