How to do 2D sprites easily?

Hey, I’d like to make a 2D game in the same way games like Literally FNF are made where there’s no models but just 2D sprites on what’s probably just GUI. Now I have tried to use sprites before but it’s always just annoying trial and error and most of the time it just breaks entirely, and I just give up. Is there a way I can make a game with only 2D sprites without so much trial and error? Like a sprite plugin or something? Like why are sprites so hard in Roblox? I mean I get that it’s more focused on 3D but even Unreal Engine has a sprite editor. So if there’s any way I can make sprites easily without so much trial and error please let me know it will be greatly appreciated.

@reteach has a spritesheet module that creates spritesheets out of .gif frames which you can play in Studio.

You need Python installed in order to use this.

for making the sprites themselves the best one I use to use is piskel, its a free sprite editor online.
there is also gimp but depending on your experience it might have a slightly steeper learning curve.

for playing sprite animations you offset the image in a gui and move it along a column based on the total number of cells. its been a while since ive made sprites myself so I understand why it can be tricky.
