I know of one someone made to let you COMBINE sheets, but not take them apart...

I don't know about any tools, but is it really that much of a pain to do it in photoshop? You could just make a basic template and save it to another layer. Then add the character set you want to split. Go to the template layer and select the square, copy from the graphic layer and paste into a new sheet. It wouldn't take long for each one. Why do you want to do it anyway?

Make a new image with the same resolutions, then eight new layers. Make a white square on each layer to fit the size of a character sheet, each in their own positions.

Save as template.psd.

Open a spritesheet as a new layer, select one of the layers alpha channel, then crop the spirte sheet, save. Repeat.

Just create an action in photoshop. Do absolutely everything that you want to do to a file then save that action. Open the next one and press play - PS does it for you.

@ Modern Algebra
yeah I was just lazy, I already seperated plenty sheets with gimp using a fixed selection box, that has exactly the size of a single-character png.
just thought there might be a tool for that.

i use them with a side view battlesystem, that requires a png for every char.
