TexPac
Texpac by David Maziarka is an application that will pack gfx files up into one image. It can be used for sprites, textures, animation strips and bitmap fonts and is often referred as a texture packer or sprite atlas.  There are 2 resulting in files, one .png and one .pac file that contains the coordinates of each packed image.

Features and Benefits:

  • Bitmap fonts.
  • Basic experimental graphic filters
  • Loads png, jpeg and bmp.
  • Fully alpha transparency capable.
  • Fonts can be spaced such as to give room for modification in a paint program.
