Looking for cross-platform software to help with creating terrain tiles for two-dimensional tile-based games? Then you might want to try out The Tile Wizard. The Tile Wizard was designed for the main purpose of testing your tiles to see how they look together as they would be in your game. The program is being constantly improved and is (currently at least) completely free.

Load - Load a .png .bmp .gif .jpg or .jpeg image to work with.(You must load an image of the size you specified at startup)
Save - Save your Tile as a .png .bmp .gif .jpg or .jpeg image.(Saves the image as the size you specified at startup)
Grid - A grid that overlays a Tile area if you want that feature turned on for that Tile.
ANIM - (Animation Sequence) - Create an animation sequence within this Tile.

Holding the control key down and clicking this button will remove the Tile's animation sequence if it has one.
