Step 1: Drop your file

Open Upload / Export in the menu. On the left, drop a file on the box, click it to choose one, or paste a picture with Ctrl + V.

Minecraft skins (64, 128 or 256 pixels) load as they are, and old 64×32 skins open in the 64×64 layout. Any other picture is turned into a skin texture.

The Upload side of the Upload / Export page

  1. Drop zone: PNG, JPG, WEBP, BMP, GIF.
  2. Detected: what the file is, e.g. "Minecraft skin 64×64".

Step 2: Check the skin settings

Minecraft edition: Java or Bedrock. An HD skin (128 or 256) picks Bedrock for you, because Java's launcher only takes 64×64.

Arms: Steve (4 px) or Alex (3 px). Skin size: 64×64, 128×128 or 256×256 — set from your file, and you can change it.

Skin name: used as the file name when you download.

Edition, arms, size and name

  1. Minecraft edition and Arms.
  2. Skin size, with a note about what fits Java or Bedrock.
  3. Skin name.

Step 3: Open it in the editor

Press Open in Editor to keep painting. If the faces of a picture landed in the wrong places, press Repair instead.

Open in Editor and Repair
