Free image slicing tool with drag-and-drop interface, ideal for dividing large images into smaller pieces for web page designs
ImageSplitter is a free Windows application used to divide large images into smaller pieces. It provides an intuitive graphical interface where users can open an image file such as a PNG or JPG and simply drag slice lines across the image to define the slices.
Once the slices are defined, ImageSplitter will automatically export each slice as a separate image file. The exported files can be saved in various formats like PNG, JPG, GIF and more. It also provides options to name the exported slices in a sequence or with custom names.
The main use case for ImageSplitter is for web developers who need to break up large hero images or banners into smaller pieces that can be used as different elements on a web page. The benefit over manually slicing images in a graphics editor is that ImageSplitter allows you to see the final slice boundaries visually by overlaying the lines on the image itself.
It has a very simple and easy-to-use interface with only the necessary options, making it well-suited for non-designers. Additional handy features include the ability to zoom into the image, align the slice guides to the center or edges, and customize the color of the slice lines.
As ImageSplitter is a standalone Windows executable with no dependencies, it provides a quick way to split images without needing to install heavy graphics software like Photoshop. It works well for simple image slicing tasks during web page development.
