What is the purpose of the Grid By Cell Count option when slicing a sprite sheet?

• A. To slice the sheet into a grid with a specified number of cells per row and column
• B. To automatically choose the best cuts
• C. To slice by pixel size
• D. To slice by name

Answer: (A)

Grid By Cell Count focuses on dividing the sprite sheet into an even grid by specifying how many cells appear in each row and column. You choose the horizontal and vertical counts, and Unity calculates each slice’s width and height from the texture size, creating evenly sized sprites across the sheet. This is ideal when the sheet is laid out as a regular grid and you know exactly how many frames sit in each row and column (for example, 8 columns by 4 rows). It’s different from options that slice by a fixed pixel size, automatically detect cuts, or group by name, since those methods rely on different rules for determining the sprite boundaries.
