Board Thread:Skin Requests/@comment-25869554-20150425101044

Many people have asked what to do with skins when they are posted here. This thread will hopefully explain how to do it.

First, download the skin by right-clicking it and save it in your pictures folder. (the picture will look something like this



Once it has downloaded (which will not take long as the picture is only 64x32 pixels), go to Minecraft.net, sign in and go to the 'Profile' page which can be found at the top of the page. From there, you can upload the skin by clicking 'browse' and then finding the skin you want. There are two options for uploading, 'Alex' or 'Steve', most skins use the 'Steve' model with its wider arms etc. but ask the texture if you are unsure. If all goes well, the skin you have uploaded will become your in-game skin almost immediately, you will have to restart the game if you are playing as you upload it though.

If you have any questions please ask.
