Minecraft skin editor
Paint your skin pixel by pixel and watch it on the 3D player. Free, no sign-up, works on phones.
How to use the Minecraft skin editor
- Start a skin. Press New blank, Open PNG to load a skin from your device, or open any skin from the skin gallery or the AI generator with Edit.
- Pick a tool and a colour. Pencil paints one pixel, Fill paints one face of one body part, Pick copies a colour, Eraser clears outer-layer pixels.
- Paint the base layer first (skin, clothes, shoes), then switch to the outer layer for hair, hats, glasses and jackets.
- Check it in 3D. The player next to the canvas updates as you paint. Drag it to see the back and sides; switch classic or slim arms.
- Download the 64×64 PNG and put it on in Java or Bedrock.

About the editor
Is the skin editor free?
Yes, completely. Painting and downloading are free and happen in your browser.
What are the base and outer layers?
The base layer is the body. The outer layer sits on top: hats, hair, jackets, sleeves and trousers. Transparent outer pixels show the base underneath.
What does Fill do?
Fill paints connected pixels of the same colour on one face of one body part, so it never spills onto the rest of the skin.
How do I use my skin in Minecraft?
Download it, then in Java Edition use the Launcher's Skins tab, or in Bedrock use the Dressing Room's Import. Choose slim arms only if you downloaded a slim skin.
