Your uploaded skin never leaves your device. Reading the skin and rendering every avatar happen right here in your browser. The only network requests are the optional username lookups (public skin services for Java, the GeyserMC API for Bedrock gamertags), which only send the name you type, never an uploaded file.

The default skins as chibis

These are the game's nine default skins run through the chibi style. The face and hat come straight from the skin, so a chibi of your own skin is recognisably yours.

How the chibi is drawn

The head is your skin's 8 by 8 face with the hat layer on top, drawn at full detail and taking up most of the picture. Below it the torso and legs, jacket and trouser layers included, are averaged into a block two colours wide and five tall, and each arm into an upper and a lower colour. Slim skins are detected, so the arm colours are read from the narrower arm texture rather than the wrong pixels.

The outline is a one-pixel border around the whole figure in black or any colour you pick, or turn it off for a borderless sticker. Backgrounds, a frame border, a circle crop and the output size (64 to 1024 pixels) work the same as every other style in the avatar maker.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Minecraft chibi?

A chibi is a cute, big-headed version of a character. Here it means your skin's face, hat layer included, drawn large over a short body, so the face carries the likeness while the body keeps your colours.

Can I wear the chibi as a skin in Minecraft?

No, this makes a picture for a profile, a sticker or a thumbnail, not a skin file. Minecraft's player model has fixed proportions, so a skin cannot give you a bigger head in game.

Why doesn't the body show the details of my skin?

The body is a few pixels tall at chibi scale, so the tool averages the torso and legs into ten blocks of colour and each arm into two. That keeps a hoodie, a belt line or coloured trousers readable instead of turning them into noise. The face is never averaged.

How do I get a transparent chibi PNG?

Leave the background on Transparent and download. Pick 512 or 1024 pixels for stickers and thumbnails; the pixels are scaled without smoothing, so the edges stay hard at any size.
