Spr2Png is a PNG toolkit written by [[Darren Salt]]. It is based on [http://www.libpng.org/ libpng] and other contributions, and can create PNG files from sprite, [[Draw]] or [[ArtWorks]] files. It can also convert PNG files back to sprites, and also offers Draw and ArtWorks to sprite conversions. As such, the program's name is somewhat misleading &ndash; it is significantly more flexible than just a sprite-to-PNG and PNG-to-sprite converter.

Spr2Png requires RISC OS 3.5 or later (or at least support for [[deep sprites|'deep sprites']]) and at least enough memory to store the converted image in 32-bit RGB colour while it is being processed. It uses [[AWViewer]] to assist its ArtWorks file conversion capabilities.

Spr2Png has a RISC OS drag-and-drop front end, and can also be driven from the command line. It has full alpha-channel support and can produce highly optimised files.

Png2Spr is the nearest known equivalent, but also [[ChangeFSI]], [[InterGif]], [[Creator]] and [[Translator]] overlap with some of Spr2Png's capabilities.
