Skin Upload
Upload and apply a custom skin PNG.
You can apply a custom skin PNG from the website or a public URL.
In-game command
Run /skin upload in the game to see upload information.
This command requires the skinsrestorer.command.set.url permission.
Then use one of these methods.
Upload methods
Method 1: Use the website
Use the /upload page to upload a skin from your computer.
- Open skinsrestorer.net/upload.
- Select your skin PNG file.
- Select Generate /skin url.
- Copy the command.
- Paste the command into the game chat.
See the Skin URL Upload guide for detailed instructions.
Method 2: Direct URL command
If the skin has a public URL, use /skin url:
/skin url "https://example.com/myskin.png"For a slim skin, add the variant:
/skin url "https://example.com/myskin.png" slimThe URL must be public and must point directly to a PNG file. Put the URL inside quotation marks.
Skin variants
You can select the arm model:
| Variant | Description |
|---|---|
classic | Standard Steve-style arms (4 pixels wide) |
slim | Alex-style arms (3 pixels wide) |
If you do not enter a variant, SkinsRestorer detects it from the skin file.
Supported formats
- Dimensions: 64x64 pixels (modern) or 64x32 pixels (legacy)
- Format: PNG only
- File size: Under 3 MB
- Transparency: Supported for overlay layers
How it works
When you apply a skin from a URL, this process occurs:
- SkinsRestorer sends the URL to MineSkin.
- MineSkin applies the skin to an account in its Minecraft account pool.
- MineSkin gets signed skin data from Mojang.
- SkinsRestorer applies the data to your player.
The Minecraft client shows only skin data with a valid Mojang signature.
For higher limits, add a MineSkin API key to config.yml.
Code SKINSRESTORER10 gives you 10% off the first three months of plans above Lite.
URL restrictions
Server administrators can restrict skin upload URLs.
If commands.restrictSkinUrls.enabled is true, SkinsRestorer accepts only URLs from the configured domains.
The default domains are:
https://i.imgur.comhttps://storage.googleapis.comhttps://cdn.discordapp.comhttps://textures.minecraft.net
Troubleshooting
Invalid URL
- Make sure that the URL points directly to a PNG file.
- Make sure that the URL is public.
- If the URL contains special characters, put it inside quotation marks.
Rate limited
MineSkin limits the number of skin requests.
- Wait a few minutes, then try again.
- For higher limits, add a MineSkin API key.
The skin does not apply correctly
- Make sure that the PNG is 64x64 or 64x32 pixels.
- For Alex-style arms, add the
slimvariant. - Make sure that the file is a PNG, not a renamed JPG file.
