How to Make Your Own Clothes on Roblox: A Beginner’s Guide
To make your own clothes on Roblox, create a clothing image in an editor, test it on an avatar, then upload it through the Creator Dashboard. For a first project, choose a classic T-shirt: it uses one square image placed on the front of a blocky avatar’s torso. Classic shirts and pants wrap around more body panels, so they use Roblox’s official templates. You can design the image with a free editor, but uploading and selling it may require account verification and Robux.
Choose the right Roblox clothing type
Roblox has three classic 2D clothing types. Pick the item before you start drawing because the file layout differs.
| Item | How it appears | Starting file |
| Classic T-shirt | A graphic on the front of a blocky avatar’s torso | A square image, such as 512 × 512 pixels |
| Classic shirt | A texture that wraps around the torso and arms | Roblox’s shirt template |
| Classic pants | A texture that wraps around the torso and legs | Roblox’s pants template |
If you are new to Roblox clothing design, start with a T-shirt graphic or download the correct shirt or pants template from Roblox’s official classic clothing guide. Keep the template’s original canvas dimensions; do not substitute an old template or resize it to a number from an outdated tutorial. Roblox notes that many user-created avatar models do not support classic 2D clothing, so test on the body types you intend to use.
What you need before designing
- A Roblox account and a web browser.
- An image editor, such as GIMP, Paint.NET, or a browser-based editor.
- The official template if you are making a classic shirt or pants.
- Roblox Studio if you want to preview the texture on an avatar before uploading.
Use original artwork or graphics you have permission to use. Roblox’s Marketplace policy prohibits copied items and content that uses Roblox-created assets or branding without authorization.
How to make your own clothes on Roblox
1. Download the correct template
For a classic shirt or pants, download and unzip the matching template linked from Roblox’s guide. The template is a map of the avatar’s body surfaces: front, back, sides, and top or bottom panels. A design that looks like one flat picture can wrap around the avatar in several directions, so use the marked panels as your guide. For a T-shirt, prepare a square image instead; you do not need the shirt-and-pants wrap template.
2. Add your design in an image editor
Open the template in your editor and place your artwork on a separate layer above it. Fill the panels with color, add a simple pattern, or draw original details such as seams, pockets, stripes, or a logo you own. Keep matching edges aligned across adjacent panels so a sleeve or pant leg does not show an abrupt color change at the seam. For a T-shirt, center the main graphic on the front area and leave enough space around it to avoid an awkward crop.
Keep the template’s dimensions and panel arrangement intact. Before exporting, hide or remove guide lines if they are on a separate layer; do not flatten visible template labels into the finished clothing. Export the image as PNG or JPG, as supported by Roblox’s current instructions. Save an editable copy too, so you can make corrections without starting over.
3. Preview the clothing on a Roblox avatar
Testing catches alignment problems before you spend Robux on an upload. In Roblox Studio, use the Avatar tools to add a block avatar rig. Insert the matching object under the rig—ShirtGraphic for a T-shirt, Shirt for a shirt, or Pants for pants—then assign your uploaded image to its corresponding property. Roblox’s guide shows the current Studio steps and property names.
Look at the front, back, sides, sleeves, and leg seams. Check that graphics do not cross joints unexpectedly and that small details remain visible at avatar scale. A T-shirt graphic is intended for the front of a blocky torso; it will not behave like a full shirt texture. Studio testing does not require an upload fee.
4. Upload the item through Creator Dashboard
- Open the Roblox Creator Dashboard and go to Avatar Items, then Classics.
- Choose the upload option and select your image file.
- Set the asset type to T-shirt, Shirt, or Pants to match your design.
- Enter a clear name and description, then review the submission details before uploading.
Roblox’s current Creator Hub lists an 80 Robux upload fee per submission. If the design is rejected during moderation, the upload fee is generally not refunded. Do not rely on older tutorials that say T-shirts are free to upload.
5. Publish it for sale only if you meet the requirements
Uploading an asset and putting it on sale are separate steps. Roblox’s current requirements say creators need government ID verification or a linked parental account to upload; Marketplace publishing also requires two-step verification and a Roblox Plus or Premium 1000/2200 membership for the individual creator or group owner. After approval, open the item’s configuration page, enable On Sale, and set a price if you want other players to buy it.
Roblox’s fee schedule lists a 10 Robux publishing advance for each non-limited classic T-shirt, shirt, or pants item. This is distinct from the 80 Robux upload fee; the publishing advance is refundable through rebates from sales under Roblox’s current rules. Check the amount displayed in Creator Dashboard before confirming, since platform fees and eligibility rules can change. Marketplace sales also use commissions, so creators do not receive the full listed price. See Roblox’s fees and commissions schedule for current details.
Quick fixes for common clothing problems
- Design is on the wrong body area: confirm you selected the matching asset type and template.
- Colors or graphics split at seams: realign the artwork across neighboring template panels, then preview it again.
- Clothing looks different on another avatar: classic clothing is not supported by every avatar model; test on a compatible block rig and other intended body types.
- Upload is rejected: review the moderation notice, check image format and template layout, and remove unauthorized logos or copied artwork before resubmitting.
- You cannot put the item on sale: review the current verification, two-step verification, membership, and publishing-fee requirements in Roblox’s Creator Hub.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need Roblox Premium to make clothes?
You can design clothing with an image editor without a Roblox membership. However, Roblox currently requires the individual creator or group owner to have Roblox Plus or Premium 1000/2200 to publish Marketplace items and keep them on sale. Account verification and other publishing requirements also apply.
Can I make clothes for any Roblox avatar?
Classic clothing works on compatible avatar bodies, but Roblox says many user-created Marketplace avatars do not support 2D classic clothing. Preview your design on the body type you plan to use before uploading.
Is a T-shirt upload free?
No. Roblox’s current fee documentation lists an 80 Robux upload fee per submission and a separate 10 Robux publishing advance for a non-limited classic T-shirt, shirt, or pants item. The publishing advance is refundable through sales rebates under the current rules; the upload fee generally is not refunded if moderation rejects the item.
With the right template, a careful preview, and an original design, a first Roblox classic clothing item is manageable even for a beginner. Start with one T-shirt or shirt, verify the template fit in Studio, and check the Creator Dashboard’s current requirements and fees before submitting.
