A simple utility to help you pack and manage texture atlases for libGDX game framework. It's mostly just a visual wrapper over libGDX TexturePacker and provides some extra features on top of it.

This project is a successor of Aurelien Ribon's application with the whole new GUI and features.

Using the App

Just download the most recent version of the installer/distribution matching your OS from the releases page and follow the installer instructions. Or simply download the distribution files archive, extract, and read ./readme.txt for further details.

System Requirements

The app works on any major desktop OS (Linux, macOS, Windows), where Java is available.

The requirements are as follows:

1. Java Runtime Environment (JRE 8.0 and up) should be installed on your system (java command is available from the command-line interface).
2. OpenGL (2.0 and up) compatible video drivers.

All major changes are listed in this file.

Command Line

The app has a headless batch mode that allows automation.

For example, to pack a specific atlases from the project:

gdx-texture-packer --batch --project "/path/to/project.tpproj" --atlases "atlas_name" "another_atlas_name"

Here's also a tool to compress any PNG/JPEG image to a KTX2/Basis texture.

gdx-texture-packer --basis-pack --container ktx2 --format uastc "/path/to/any.png|jpg"
