Extract text from SPRITE files
To convert your SPRITE file to another format, you need Diablo II: Resurrected or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "2D Asset Container" file type, you need software like Diablo II: Resurrected or a similar tool.
A .sprite file is a generic file extension used by various video game engines and development platforms to store 2D graphic assets, animations, and coordinate definitions. The most prominent uses include UI textures for Diablo II: Resurrected, older sprite assets for MIT Scratch, and particle definitions for engines like Unity.
Because .sprite is not a standardized image format like JPEG or PNG, users face significant friction when trying to view or edit these files. Operating systems do not provide native previews, and standard editors like Adobe Photoshop cannot open them without specialized plugins. Furthermore, the internal structure varies widely - some are binary blobs containing raw pixel data (Diablo), while others are text-based XML or JSON files (SuperTux, Newer Super Mario Bros) that reference external images rather than containing them.
To use these graphics in creative projects, wikis, or other engines, the most practical solution is converting them to standard raster formats. For static assets, convert to PNG to preserve transparency (alpha channels). For animations, converting to GIF or WebP allows for easy web display. If you are dealing with a text-based definition file, converting to JSON or XML makes the coordinate data human-readable for debugging. Our tools help you identify the specific origin of your .sprite file and extract the usable visual data.
Convert.Guru analyzes your SPRITE file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our SPRITE converter.
