AutoGrab

AutoGrab is a small DOS utility which was written to extract sprites and tiles from *.pcx files. It works quite easy: You create the gfx in your paint program of choice, and then draw a rectangle around it. AutoGrab scans the pcx file for these rectangles and saves their content to disk.

It's also possible to break down larger images into tiles by drawing a border around the area you want to be splitted, and then specify a size when calling AutoGrab.
Besides the Tile Format, AutoGrab can also write JLib Sprite Format and raw data.

Autograb can be downloaded from the Projects page of the Game Programming Galaxy
