Paper2D: Does it matter if texture is power of 2?

I was importing a lot of textures into my paper2D project, and I noticed that I would often get the error: _.png is not a power of two. Non power of two textures are never streamed and have no mimaps. Proceed?"

How much does this impact performance? Could this be why I find my paper2D sprites to have choppy rendering? Are other paper2D developers using power of 2 textures?

And if I wanted to make it a power of 2 png, how would I go about doing this? I tried following the example here, but it would end up stretching the pngs which made them look weird. Do I have to add white space to every png to make them powers of 2, then import into unreal, and then crop the white space out again? Is there a way I can do this to all the pngs at the same time so I don’t have to go one by one?

I read somewhere that doesn’t apply for sprite sheets and can be ignored.

or if you want to stick with photoshop, you could probably batch process it with their version of javascript, with something like the following:

var inputFolder = Folder.selectDialog("Select a folder to process");

var fileList = inputFolder.getFiles("*.PNG"); 

for(var i=0; i<fileList.length; i++) 
{
    var doc = open(fileList[i]);
	var new_width = doc.width;
	var new_height = doc.height;

	new_width-=1;
	new_width |= new_width >> 1;
	new_width |= new_width >> 2;
	new_width |= new_width >> 4;
	new_width |= new_width >> 8;
	new_width |= new_width >> 16;
	new_width+=1;
	
	new_height-=1;
	new_height |= new_height >> 1;
	new_height |= new_height >> 2;
	new_height |= new_height >> 4;
	new_height |= new_height >> 8;
	new_height |= new_height >> 16;
	new_height+=1;

	doc.resizeCanvas(new_width, new_height);
	
	doc.save();
	doc.close();
