This walkthrough captures a simple static sprite. After this works, use the same setup for animation clips.

​
Capture a static sprite

1

Create a capture manager

Select Pixelate > Create Capture Manager. Select the new Pixelate Capture Manager GameObject.
2

Assign the target

In Setup, drag the GameObject you want to capture into Target.
3

Assign the camera

In Camera, assign the camera that frames the target. Use an orthographic camera for predictable sprite output.
4

Create a profile

In the Pixelate Profile card, click the create button or assign an existing PixelateProfile.
5

Set the output size

In the profile’s Render section, set Cell Size. Start with 128 x 128.
6

Preview the result

Use the Preview section to check framing. Switch between Lit, Unlit, and Normal when normal maps are enabled.
7

Choose an export folder

In Export Settings, choose a folder under Assets/.
8

Capture

Click Capture. Pixelate saves the PNG, imports it as a sprite, and slices it with your render settings.
A static capture creates {TargetName}.png. If Normal Map is enabled in the profile, it also creates {TargetName}_NormalMap.png.

​
Capture animation clips

Turn on the Animation section, add one or more Source Clips, set Frames Per Second, then click Capture again. Each clip gets its own atlas.
