Ways to generate multiple sprites?

Question

css

There is a huge sprite, you need to break it into pieces, what tools are there for this?
I'm sure there must be some solution, because in large projects sprites are somehow crushed.
Of course, doing it manually is not an option, even using online generators. It is desirable that this happens at the time of the project build.

Answer 1

The corresponding plugin under Gulp / Grunt and mess around with the configs a bit.
My builder is looking at the sprites folder. Each folder inside it is a separate sprite, the folder name is the name of the sprite and the prefix for its variable in scss.
Of course, we are talking about assembling sprites from individual pictures.

Answer 2

bye, cut it in puff, imagemagick, or whatever, google it short
