Image sprite is colection of images put into a single and combined image.if a web page is having many images ,it takes much time to load and generate multiple request from server,so using this image sprite we will reduce the number of requests to the server and bandwidth tooo..

instead of using three separate images, we use this single image ("img_navsprites.gif"):

navigation images

With CSS, we can show just the part of the image we need.

In the following example the CSS specifies which part of the "img_navsprites.gif" image to show:
Example

img.home
{
width:46px;
height:44px;
background:url(img_navsprites.gif) 0 0;
}
