What Tilesetter is

Tilesetter is a freemium tileset generator and map editor for creating tile-based game art. It can build a smart tileset from a base tile and update it automatically when needed. Configurable parameters control automatic compositing, while the map editor fixes tiles as you draw and supports testing generated results. The free plan costs nothing and includes automatic compositing plus tileset import and export. The one-time Full Tilesetter experience costs $12.99, paid once and adds mixed border generation, isometric support, map editing and exporting, automatic source reload, custom-format exporting, and direct export to Defold, GameMaker Studio 2, Godot, and Unity. Listed formats also include PNG and JSON. Tilesetter runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Documentation covers tilesets, map editing, auto-tiling, and exporting, with Discord support for discussion and assistance.
