Keep shading moves every selected shade to the new color and keeps the light and dark differences between them, so patterns still look right.

Edit layers top is in front

Active layer opacity: 100%

Edit layers work like layers in a photo editor. When you download, they are combined into one PNG. Library items go on their own layer so you can hide or remove them later.

Minecraft's own two skin layers (base and outer) are in the Parts tab.

Paint on

Auto paints whatever you can see. Pick Outer layer to paint hats, jackets and sleeves where nothing is drawn yet.

Main Accent

Paint onto the active layer instead of a new one

Items go on the outer layer where possible so they sit on top of your skin. Each one becomes its own layer, so Undo or the Layers tab can remove it.

Pose the model

Pick a part, then use the sliders. With the Pose tool you can also drag a part in the 3D view to bend it.

One-click effects

Auto-shade adds a soft light-on-top, shadow-underneath gradient to every face. Texture noise gives flat colors that slightly grainy Minecraft look.

Locator bar color

Every Java player has a default color on the locator bar (added in 1.21.6). It comes from your UUID, so it never changes unless someone sets it with /waypoint.

Side

Outer layer Crop to fit

Good for logos, pixel art or a face. The picture is shrunk to the part's size and added as a new layer.

Palette tools

Templates

The labeled guide shows where every part goes on the skin file, handy if you paint in another program.

Cape

Capes are only for the preview. Players who own a cape get it loaded automatically when you look them up.

Convert arm pixels when switching

Pixel quality

Going up keeps your skin looking the same and gives you more pixels for detail. Going down merges detail.

64x64	Modern format (Java 1.8+ and Bedrock). Separate left and right limbs, outer layer on every part.
64x32	Old format from before 1.8. Only a hat layer, and the left limbs copy the right ones. These convert automatically when opened.
Classic	4 pixel wide arms (Steve).
Slim	3 pixel wide arms (Alex).
HD	128 and up. Vanilla Java only takes 64x64. Bedrock takes 128x128. Bigger needs mods or servers that support HD skins.

The skin is read straight from Mojang's servers when possible. If that fails, public skin sites are tried. Bedrock-only gamertags aren't supported.
