# 2D Profiler module reference

> Explore the properties and settings of the 2D module in the Profiler window.

The 2D module in the [Profiler window](/engine/6000.7/manual/analysis/profiler/window.md) displays statistics about how many sprites Unity renders and which [sprite atlases](/engine/6000.7/manual/unity2d/sprite/atlas/create-sprite-atlas.md) it uses.

To open the Profiler module, follow these steps:

1. In the main menu, go to **Window** > **Analysis** > **Profiler**.
2. Select **Profiler Modules**, then enable **2D**.

## Chart categories

The chart in the 2D module displays the following categories.

| **Name**     | The name of the sprite atlas (), sprite (), or texture () Unity renders.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| **Sprites**  | The number of sprites Unity renders, excluding culled sprites. This property is displayed only if the item is a sprite atlas or a texture.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| **Textures** | The number of textures in the sprite atlas, also known as pages. This property is displayed only if the item is a sprite atlas.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   |
| **Usage**    | The percentage of the sprite atlas or texture Unity uses for rendering. A low percentage indicates wasted texture space. For more information, refer to [Create a sprite atlas](/engine/6000.7/manual/unity2d/sprite/atlas/create-sprite-atlas.md), and [Get started with the Sprite Atlas Analyzer](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.2d.tooling@latest/index.html?subfolder=/manual/GetStarted-sprite-atlas-analyzer.html) in the 2D Tooling package. |
