Minecraft Skin Viewer – view your skin in 3D

Drag your skin file (PNG) into the “Custom Skin (PNG)” field or click it to select a file. The Skin Viewer immediately displays it as a 3D model. Drag to rotate the model; scroll, pinch, or use the zoom slider to enlarge it. Until you select your own file, you’ll see the default Steve skin.

The Skin Viewer accepts only PNG files of exactly 64×64 pixels (the modern format since 1.8) or 64×32 pixels (the legacy format before 1.8), up to 2 MB. It rejects other sizes, such as 128×128-pixel HD skins, with an error message stating the detected image size. This also applies to Bedrock skins: only the file format matters.

Yes. The Skin Viewer accepts legacy 64×32-pixel skins from before version 1.8 as well as modern 64×64-pixel skins and displays them as 3D models.

No. The file is read locally in your browser and applied directly to the 3D model. It is not sent to a server or saved. Only the default Steve skin, which you see without selecting your own file, is loaded from a public skin service.

By default, the Skin Viewer detects the arm model automatically from the skin texture. If it gets an older or unusual skin wrong, switch manually in the “Model” field to Classic (wide arms, like Steve) or Slim (narrow arms, like Alex).

Choose from None (standing pose), Idle (gentle breathing), Walking, Running, and Waving. You can also toggle automatic rotation on or off. Movement makes it easy to see how details on the arms and legs look.

Yes. The “Save current view as image” button downloads the exact current angle, zoom level and animation frame as a PNG file (minecraft-skin-3d-render.png), for example to share on Discord or a forum.

Not in the Skin Viewer: it only displays skin files you select yourself. You can look up a player name with our Minecraft UUID Lookup, which also shows a skin preview.
