Atlased review
A focused atlas editor for region work and Tiled tileset export.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Atlased is a desktop sprite-sheet and atlas editor for 2D game development and asset-preparation workflows. It suits solo developers and small teams that need to pack separate sprites, edit regions on existing images, or prepare tilesets for Tiled. The workflow covers both making an atlas from individual sprites and working backward from an existing sheet, so it can support asset preparation without requiring every image to start as separate files.
Packing produces PNG images and JSON metadata, with optional 90-degree rotation and multiple output pages when the sprites exceed a page’s maximum dimensions. The documented maximum packing size is 4096×4096 px. For existing sheets, Atlased can detect sprites and create region metadata; users can also make or edit regions manually or with a grid. Region resizing, renaming, moving, and growing provide practical control over atlas contents, and regions can be exported as separate sprite images. Tiled tileset export is a useful fit for workflows that use that editor, while Godot is also listed as an integration.
The vendor describes Atlased as pay-what-you-want, including free, rather than presenting fixed paid tiers. Its platform list is Windows and Linux, and deployment is desktop. Its scope is atlas creation and region management, not animation: the manual says direct animation support is not available. Choose Atlased if atlas packing, region editing, metadata, and Tiled export are central to the asset workflow. Look elsewhere if animation authoring or a platform beyond Windows and Linux is essential.
