Transparent Image Splitter

Automatically detect and split separate objects from transparent PNG or WebP images. Remove small fragments, merge nearby parts, add padding and download each object as PNG.

About Transparent Image Splitter

Transparent Image Splitter detects separate visible objects inside a transparent PNG or WebP image and extracts them into individual PNG files. It uses transparency boundaries rather than AI, so it works especially well for icon sheets, sticker sheets, badges and emoji collections where each object is separated by transparent space.

Common use cases

Separate sticker sheets

Extract individual transparent stickers or sprites from one PNG or WebP canvas.

Split exported design assets

Turn several disconnected transparent-background objects into separate image files.

Prepare icon collections

Detect isolated objects and download each component as its own PNG.

How it works

1

The browser inspects alpha transparency across the source image.

2

Connected non-transparent pixel regions are grouped into separate objects.

3

Each detected object's bounding box is cropped and exported as an individual PNG.

Privacy & file handling

Object splitting is local

Transparency analysis and cropping are performed in the browser; the source image does not need to be uploaded to Zavilo.

Limitations and important notes

  • Objects that touch each other will usually be treated as one connected region.
  • Very faint semi-transparent pixels can expand object bounds or connect nearby elements.
  • Images without transparency are not suitable for this connected-component workflow.

How to use Transparent Image Splitter

  1. 1

    Choose a transparent PNG or WebP image containing multiple separated objects.

  2. 2

    The tool scans visible pixels and groups connected areas into components.

  3. 3

    Adjust the alpha threshold, minimum object size or merge distance when needed, then analyze again.

  4. 4

    Click detected boxes or preview cards to include or exclude individual objects.

  5. 5

    Choose output padding and optionally normalize every result to the same transparent canvas size.

  6. 6

    Download one object as PNG or all selected objects in a ZIP file.

Tips for better results

  • Use images where separate objects have transparent space between them.
  • Increase Merge distance when decorative pieces that belong to one icon are detected separately.
  • Increase Minimum object size when tiny fragments or unrelated small marks are being detected.

Frequently asked questions

Does this use AI to find objects?

No. It analyzes the image alpha channel and connected visible pixel regions. This makes transparent object sheets fast and predictable to split.

Can small text or tiny fragments be ignored?

Yes. Raise the minimum object size so smaller connected groups are discarded.

What does Merge distance do?

It combines nearby visible components into one detected object. This is useful when one icon contains separate sparkles, badges or decorative pieces.
