Minecraft Skin Converter

Fix old skins and change the arm type without redrawing anything.

How to convert a skin

1

Upload the skin

Choose a PNG file, enter a player name or use the skin from our editor.

2

Pick the changes

Switch the arms between classic and slim, and keep, merge or remove the outer layer.

3

Compare and download

Check the result next to the original in 3D and download the new PNG.

What the converter does

Old skins from before Minecraft 1.8 are 64×32 pixels and have no separate left arm and leg. The converter copies them from the right side, exactly like the game does, and gives you a modern 64×64 file.

Classic arms are 4 pixels wide and slim arms are 3 pixels wide. When converting, one column of each arm side is removed or repeated, so the design stays the same.

Questions and answers

Will the conversion damage my skin?

No. The original file is not changed, and you can compare the result with it before downloading.

Why do the arms look cut after converting to slim?

One pixel column is removed from each arm. Small details on that column can disappear; touch them up in the editor.

What does “Merge into base” do?

It paints the outer layer onto the base layer and clears it. This is useful for versions and servers that hide the outer layer.

Can I convert HD skins?

HD skins are scaled down to the standard 64×64 size.
