How to turn a skin PNG into a .mcpack for Bedrock

Upload any Minecraft skin PNG, choose Bedrock Edition and the right arms, and download a .mcpack that Minecraft Bedrock imports with one tap — free, in your browser.

Step 1: Upload the PNG

Open Upload / Export (the Import skin button in the editor's top bar, or Import on a phone). In 1 · Upload, press Upload, drop the PNG on the box or paste it with Ctrl + V.

Any Minecraft skin PNG works: 64×64, old 64×32 skins (they open in the 64×64 layout) and HD skins up to 512×512. The skin turns in 3D so you can check it.

1. Upload: drop or choose the skin PNG.

Step 2: Pick the arms and Bedrock

Set Arms to Steve (4-pixel arms) or Alex (3-pixel arms) — the same arms the skin was painted for. The .mcpack remembers this, so Minecraft uses the right model.

In 2 · Export, choose Bedrock Edition, check the file name (it becomes the skin's name in Minecraft), keep Only download and press Download. You get a .mcpack file.

HD skins bigger than 128×128 are saved at 128×128 inside the pack, the biggest size Bedrock skin packs take.

1. Bedrock Edition and Download.

Step 3: Open the .mcpack in Minecraft

Windows: double-click the .mcpack. Minecraft opens and shows that the import started and then worked.

Android: open the file from your Downloads and choose Minecraft when your phone asks which app to use.

iPhone and iPad: open the file in the Files app, press Share and pick Minecraft.

Then in Minecraft go to Dressing Room → Classic skins, find your pack and pick the skin.

Tip: Xbox, PlayStation and Switch can't import skin files. On those, only skins from the Marketplace and Dressing Room work.
