Create sprites

Last updated: Aug-25-2025

A sprite is a single image made up of many smaller images, historically used to reduce the number of HTTP requests on web pages. While this strategy was once frequently used, it’s no longer commonly recommended.

Important
The Sprite feature will be deprecated as of September 16, 2025, and will no longer function after that date. Be sure to remove it from any production code.

For better long-term performance, use techniques like lazy loading, responsive images, or overlays to achieve similar goals with modern best practices.
