PDF download Download Article

Do you want to make a new shirt for your Roblox avatar? Making a shirt for Roblox is really easy if you have image editing software like Photoshop or GIMP. Creating a shirt is a little different than creating a T-shirt. T-shirts are just square images on your avatar's torso, while shirts wrap around your avatar's body. This wikiHow article will walk you through creating a shirt for your Roblox avatar, testing your shirt, and uploading it to Roblox.

Quick Steps

  1. Download a shirt template from Roblox.
  2. Edit the shirt template in your favorite photo editing software.
  3. Save the shirt image as a PNG file.
  4. Test the shirt in Roblox Studio before uploading it.
  5. Go to your Creator Dashboard.
  6. Choose Avatar Items > Classics > Classic Shirts .
  7. Upload your shirt image and give it a name and description before uploading.

Creating the Shirt

PDF download Download Article
  1. You can download the shirt template from the Roblox website. Simply go here and scroll down until you see the templates. Click the link that says Shirt (torso and arms) to download the shirt template. [1]
    • Save the template somewhere on your computer where you can find it easily, such as your desktop or your Downloads folder.
    • It costs 10 Robux to make a shirt, so make sure you buy some Robux before continuing.
    • If you don't want to purchase Robux, you can make a T-shirt for free. The difference between a shirt and a T-shirt is that a shirt wraps around the entire body of the avatar. A T-shirt is just a small graphic that goes on the front of the avatar's chest.
  2. 2
    Unzip the templates folder. When you download the templates, they will come in a zipped folder. Unzip the folder so you can access the files inside.

  3. You can use any photo editing program. Once you have downloaded a photo editing program, click the icon in the Windows Start menu or Applications folder on Mac to open your photo editing program.
    • If you have a subscription to Adobe Photoshop , you can use it to create your shirt. You can download Photoshop (and get a free trial) on Adobe's website .
    • Photoshop Elements is an inexpensive version of Photoshop that doesn't have as many features as the full version. You can purchase and download it from the Adobe Elements page .
    • Alternatively, you can use GIMP , which is a completely free alternative to Photoshop. You can download GIMP for free from GIMP's website .
  4. 4
    Open the template in your photo editing program. Click File > Open , then navigate to where you saved the shirt template. The shirt template file name is Template-Shirts-R15.png .
  5. The Layers panel is usually in the lower-right corner. Click the icon that resembles a blank sheet of paper in Photoshop or the icon that resembles a folder with a plus sign in GIMP to create a new layer . Both are at the bottom of the Layers panel.
    • If you don't see the Layers panel in Photoshop, click Window in the menu bar at the top. Then click Layers .
  6. The new layer you just created should be above the layer with the template in the Layers panel. Click this layer to select it. This will ensure that you do not modify the template when creating your art for the shirt.
    • If the new layer is not above the layer with the template, simply click and drag it to the top of the Layers panel.
  7. The template shows all sides of the shirt and sleeves unwrapped and laid out on a flat surface. The color boxes indicate where the front, back, sides, top, and bottom go. The torso is in the upper-right corner. The left and right sleeves are at the bottom of the template. The images of the avatar in the upper-left corner show where each colored box goes on the avatar. Use this as a reference.
    • You can color over the boxes to change the shirt color, and/or place an image on the front or back of the shirt. You can also add text to the front, back, or sleeves of the shirt. Be creative!
    • The dotted lines on the sleeves indicate where the sleeves should end. Leave the area below the top dotted line blank to create short sleeves. Leave the area below the bottom dotted line blank to create long sleeves. Leave any areas blank that you don't want to be covered in clothing.
  8. To do so, click the icon that resembles an eyeball next to the layer with the template in the Layers panel. This will make the layer with the template invisible. You should see the art for your shirt on top of a transparent background.
    • Transparency is usually denoted by a white and grey checkerboard pattern.
  9. A PNG image will preserve the transparent background. This will prevent the colors from the template from discoloring the arms and hands of the avatar. Use the following steps to save the image as a PNG:
    • Photoshop: Click File followed by Save as . Then enter a name for your shirt next to "File name." Use the drop-down menu next to "Format" to select "* PNG ( .png) ." Then click Save** in the lower-right corner. [2]
    • GIMP: Click File followed by Export as . Enter a name for your shirt next to "Name" at the top of the dialog box. Then click Select File Type (By Extension) at the bottom to display a menu. Select " PNG Image " in the menu. Then click Export in the lower-right corner. [3]

    No. As you can see, I used it for the tutorial! Make sure you go to the correct address, which is located at GetPaint.Net. It will not give you a virus. I have had it on my computer for a couple of years and it's been more than a great experience.

  • Question
    Why can't I upload it when I've used the template and saved it as a png?
    Community Answer
    Make sure that you've got the size right. The correct size for a template is 585x559. It might also be that you simply made a mistake and forgot to name your shirt or you forgot to upload your shirt.
