How to fix a broken or old Minecraft skin

Place each face of a picture onto the right part of the skin, one face at a time — perfect for wrong, stretched or old 64×32 skins.

Step 1: Load the picture

Open Repair and press Upload image. The picture shows on the left. On the right you see every body part and its faces.

The Repair page

  1. Upload image.
  2. Faces: Head, Body, Right Arm, Left Arm, Right Leg, Left Leg — 6 faces each, 36 in total.

Step 2: Frame one face

Pick a face, for example Head → Front. Then drag the orange box over that part of your picture and drag its corners to resize it.

Use the arrow buttons to nudge it one pixel at a time. Locked keeps the right shape for that face; Free lets you draw any box.

The orange box over the face and the adjust controls

  1. The orange box: what goes on the chosen face.
  2. Adjust: arrows, Locked / Free, Fit / Stretch, Live link.

Tip: Fit keeps the picture's shape; Stretch fills the face exactly. Live link sends every confirmed face to the editor straight away.

Step 3: Confirm and go to the next face

Press Confirm & Next to save the face and jump to the next one. Repeat for every face you need.

When you are done, press Complete & Save. Skip takes what you have so far to the editor.

Confirm, Confirm & Next, Complete & Save and Skip

  1. Confirm · Confirm & Next · Complete & Save · Skip.
