Graphics > Sprite converter

Which is the best tool to convert a bmp-image into sprites? I've tried some in the tool-section, like bmp3spr but the result was very uggly and didnt work (and it's not because of my code). I would like to have a sprite-converter where I can choose what color to be transpararent and all that. Any suggestions?

Obviously it's not for bitmaps, but I find gifs2sprites v1.0 in the tools section quite good. You can select the transparancy etc. I dunno, it just seemed easy to use. Unfortunately I think it only outputs .h files and not raw.

yes but this program has a limit since it's only able to convert 64x64 images (or smaller), but I need it for animations.

It supports images larger than 64x64. It just gives this warning so you know that sprites can be no larger than 64x64 pixels. Just ignore this error and move on.
