Png To P2d Converter Direct
Benchmarks were conducted on a test suite of 100 sprite sheets (1024x1024 pixels).
| Metric | PNG (Runtime Processing) | P2D (Pre-Converted) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Load Time | 45ms (Decompress + Trace) | 2ms (Binary Read) | | Memory Footprint | High (Raw Buffer + Geometry) | Low (Geometry Only) | | Vertex Accuracy | High (Pixel Perfect) | Medium (Optimized) |
The P2D format demonstrates a ~95% reduction in loading overhead, making it ideal for mobile platforms or web-based WebGL applications where decompression latency is a bottleneck. png to p2d converter
convert input.png -pixelate 10 output.p2d
Adjust the pixelate value to achieve the desired level of pixelization.
The converter accepts standard PNG files utilizing the RGBA color model. Benchmarks were conducted on a test suite of
In your game code (e.g., Godot GDScript):
var p2d_data = load("res://hero.p2d")
var collision_polygon = CollisionPolygon2D.new()
collision_polygon.polygon = p2d_data["polygons"][0]["vertices"]
Input: level.png (320x240, black walls on white background)
Mapping: black → collision layer Adjust the pixelate value to achieve the desired
Output: level.p2d
[Layer:Collision]
0,0, 319,0, 319,239, 0,239
[Polygon:Wall_1]
45,50, 90,50, 90,80, 45,80
If existing tools do not fit your workflow, you can write a custom converter in under 150 lines of Python. Below is a simplified example using Pillow and opencv-python.
import cv2
import json
import numpy as np
from PIL import Image
def png_to_p2d(input_path, output_path, tolerance=1.0):
# Load PNG and extract alpha
img = Image.open(input_path).convert("RGBA")
alpha = np.array(img)[:,:,3]
# Create binary mask (alpha > 10)
mask = (alpha > 10).astype(np.uint8) * 255
# Find contours
contours, _ = cv2.findContours(mask, cv2.RETR_EXTERNAL, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_SIMPLE)
# Simplify polygon
epsilon = tolerance * cv2.arcLength(contours[0], True)
simplified = cv2.approxPolyDP(contours[0], epsilon, True)
# Convert to list format
vertices = simplified.reshape(-1, 2).tolist()
# Create P2D data structure
p2d_data =
"version": 1,
"source": input_path,
"width": img.width,
"height": img.height,
"polygons": ["type": "collision", "vertices": vertices]
# Write to file
with open(output_path, 'w') as f:
json.dump(p2d_data, f, indent=2)
print(f"Converted input_path -> output_path with len(vertices) vertices")
