How to download and wear a skin

Tap a skin to open its page. Turn it in 3D to check the back and sides.
Choose Classic (4-pixel arms) or Slim (3-pixel arms). Every skin here is drawn as two separate files, one for each arm width.
Press the download button for that file. You get a 64×64 PNG.
On Java, set the skin on your account at the official Minecraft site or in the launcher. On Bedrock, use the in-game skin picker and its Import option. Pick the same arm model as the file.

Upload the PNG exactly as you downloaded it. Opening it in a photo app that resizes it or saves it as a JPG is the usual reason the game rejects a skin or shows it blurred. Our guide to exporting and uploading a skin covers the details.

Change a skin before you wear it

Press Edit on any card, or Edit in PixelPelt on a skin's page, and the skin loads straight into our browser editor in the arm model you picked. Nothing is uploaded: the editor runs on your device, and you download the result.

Recolour: use Fill on each tone of a garment, darkest first. The folds and shading stay in place.
Change the face: eyes, mouth and hair sit on the front and top of the head. Put glasses and hats on the outer layer, so you can remove them later without repainting the face.
Swap clothes: hide the outer layer to see what is underneath, then paint the jacket, hood or armour pieces you want.

If you would rather build a character from the ground up, start from a skin base or the colour-coded skin template.

Where these skins come from

We drew every skin on this page, in code, as original characters. There are no uploads from players, no skins copied from other sites and no characters from games, films or shows. That is why the catalog has no download counts or Trending tab: we don't track what you download, so any ranking would be made up.

Each skin is drawn twice, once for each arm width, rather than one file with a column shaved off. A skin worn on the wrong model shows a stripe or a gap down the arms, so each skin's page lets you check both before you download. The light falls from above and in front, on the character's left, so every skin here shades the same way when you mix pieces from several.

Frequently asked questions

Are these Minecraft skins free?

Yes. Every skin here is original art drawn for PixelPelt, and you can wear, edit, share and sell skins made from them without asking and without credit.

How do I download a skin?

Tap the skin, pick Classic or Slim, and press the download button for that file. You get a 64×64 PNG that you upload to the game as it is, choosing the same arm model.

Do they work on Java and Bedrock?

Yes. They are standard 64×64 skins, which both editions accept. On Java you set the skin on your account at the official Minecraft site or in the launcher; on Bedrock you import it from the in-game skin picker.

Can I upload my own skin here?

No. We only publish skins we drew, so everything on this page is safe to use. To make your own, open the skin editor, or start from any skin here and press Edit.

Why is there no Trending or Most popular list?

We don't track downloads, likes or views, so we can't rank skins by popularity and won't pretend to. Use the type, colour and model filters, or the Random order to see something new.
