Is it possible to save and share the skins I created at Minecraft?
Yes, and in many ways. You can download, send, import and even publicly share the skins you have created, either through specialized websites, social platforms or directly with friends.
The process may vary slightly depending on the edition of the game (Java or Bedrock), but the idea is basically the same: export the skin as a file (.png) and distributing it.
Minecraft: Java Edition
The Java version is the most open for skins customization and sharing. You can use external tools, upload directly on the game’s official website and share it with anyone.
How to save the skin
- When creating a skin on a site like Skindex or New Skin, click “Download”, “Export” or similar;
- A .png format file will be saved on your computer. This is the Skin file.
How to share skin with other people
- Send the .png file by email, discord, WhatsApp or any other means;
- Upload Skin on public sites so other players can see and use;
- If you want to keep your own catalog, create an account on sites like: The Skindex, New Kin, Namemc and PLANET MINECRAFT.
Tip: Some of these sites allow you to share skins publicly on the platform with a direct download link.
Minecraft: Bedrock Edition (windows, console, cell phone)
In Bedrock, sharing is a little more limited, but still possible with some alternative solutions.
How to save and share
- The skins created inside the locker room are locally saved in your account, but cannot be exported directly;
- To share a skin made externally: again create skin on a site like the ones already mentioned The Skindex or New Skin, then download your Skin’s file (.png).
- This same file (.png) can be sent to others by message or hosted on platforms like Google Drive or Dropbox.
Alternatives for those who play on mobile
Applications like Skin Editor for minecraft, Minecraft Skin Studio (Android/iOS) and Skinseed Allow to create and share skins directly.
Many of these apps have an online gallery option, where you publish your skin and others can download and use with a click.
