• Then, you’ll want to locate where your file has been downloaded, as this will be important with uploading. If on iOS, go ahead and find the file and then press “Save Image” to add it to your photos.
• Next is to boot up Minecraft PE. From the home screen, go into Dressing Room. Select “Change Classic Skin” from the bottom and then hit “Owned Skins”. Once there, press “Choose New Skin” to begin the upload process.
• You’ll then be allowed to select the skin you downloaded from your photos (iOS) or files/photos (Android: depending on the saving location). The image will show up as the skin broken in pieces before upload. Do not be alarmed by that. Once you select the skin, the game will ask you to choose the correct model of your skin. Once chosen, you’re good to go!
• If you get an error stating that you aren’t uploading a Minecraft skin, be sure that you have the right file downloaded on your device and not just a standard image of a skin. It has to be a skin broken into pieces for the game to recognize it correctly.
