What are skins in Minecraft?

What a skin is

A skin is a texture wrapped around the three-dimensional model of the player character in Minecraft. It's a PNG image file, 64x64 pixels, that defines the look of every part of the body: head, torso, arms and legs. Each pixel in the file maps to a specific spot on the character's 3D model.

Minecraft comes with a few starter skins. The best known are Steve (a male character in a blue shirt) and Alex (a character with red hair). Starting with version 1.19.3, Mojang added seven more default skins: Ari, Efe, Kai, Makena, Noor, Sunny and Zuri. The community has created more than 10 million skins that are free to download online.

Frequently asked questions

Can I change my Minecraft skin for free?
Yes, changing your skin in Java Edition is completely free. Just sign in at minecraft.net, go to your profile and upload your own PNG file, 64x64 pixels. In Bedrock Edition you get a free character creator and a few built-in skins, but many skins in the Marketplace are paid.
What file format does a Minecraft skin need?
A Minecraft skin is a PNG file measuring 64x64 pixels (the modern format) or 64x32 pixels (the older format). The file must support an alpha channel (transparency). A typical skin weighs only 1-5 KB.
How do I download a skin from this site?
Click a skin in the gallery to see its 3D preview. On the skin's page you'll find a download button that saves the PNG file to your computer. Then upload it through minecraft.net or the launcher.
Are the skins on this site safe?
Yes, all skins are PNG files downloaded from mc-heads.net, a Minecraft skin service. PNG files can't contain viruses or malware.
What's the difference between the slim and classic models?
The classic model (Steve) has arms 4 pixels wide, while the slim model (Alex) has arms 3 pixels wide. The difference is purely cosmetic and doesn't affect gameplay.
