Sprite Cow is a web application that helps developers get the background-position, width, and height of sprites within a spritesheet as copyable CSS. It is designed for manual spritesheet creation where developers want fine control over optimization and compression.

Use cases

• generate CSS for sprite sheet positions
• get background-position coordinates from a spritesheet image
• copy sprite dimensions as CSS
• create CSS sprites manually with precise measurements
• scale sprites for retina displays
• generate percent-based sprite positioning CSS

When to choose

• you build spritesheets manually in graphics apps and need exact CSS coordinates
• you want control over sprite optimization and compression rather than automated generators
• you need a quick browser-based tool without installation

When to avoid

• you prefer automated spritesheet generators integrated into your build pipeline
• your project no longer uses CSS image sprites
• you need offline or programmable tooling
