Export Your Skin as a File or a Full-Body Image

You do not have to upload a design to use it. Skin Creator can save your look as a standard skin file or as a picture of your whole character. Use the file to keep a backup or to load the skin somewhere else. Use the image to share your design.

Prepare Your Design

1. Open the editor with the Skin Creator button on the title screen or in the pause menu.

2. Build or load your look. Your creations are saved online, so earlier designs can be opened again in a new session.

3. Before exporting, check the preview and the layer panel. Hidden layers and lowered opacity change how the final skin looks, so confirm everything is set the way you want.

Choose an Export Option

The export menu offers two paths:

  • Direct account upload: Sends the skin straight to your account. This does the same thing as clicking Apply.
  • Local saving: Saves the design to your computer in one of two formats:
  • A standard 64×64 skin file, the usual format for Minecraft skins. Keep it as a backup or upload it manually later.
  • A full-body character image, a picture of the finished character. Use it to show off your design or share it with friends.

Good Habits

  • Export a 64×64 file before you start a big redesign. You will always have a copy of your old skin.
  • Export a full-body image of each finished outfit to build a gallery of your looks.
