    How can I import a skin to Minecraft Bedrock?

    Normally a Minecraft skin file is 16x16, and can go up to 32x32 on Bedrock edition. If the image is the in the correct dimensions, you could try using something other than the default photo manager.

    Many photos on iOS will be compressed in the default photo library, and can stop the skin from working in-game. You could try using a different app for photos, or use the files app instead. If Minecraft doesn't let you import the skin directly from the files app, try sharing it and saving it to photos, then import it as soon as possible.

    If you're on Windows, then the only possible issue you could be having is incorrect image dimensions or a wrong file format.

    If you're on Android, then like Tadeu said, try using a different app for importing the skin.

    Hello, my name is Tadeu, I am an Independent Consultant and a member of the Microsoft Xbox community, just like you.

    I apologize for the issue you are experiencing.

    I am here to help.

    I hope everything is going well and thank you for contacting me.

    I'm sorry you're having this issue.

    How about you try uploading other skins to see if they work? What is the default app your device uses when importing the skin? If it's Google Photos, try using Gallery.

    If the issue persists, you may need to contact Minecraft support. https://help.minecraft.net/hc/en-us/request/new...

    Hope this helps.

    Please note that this is a public forum only. I will respond as soon as possible, and apologize in advance for any delay in responding. I'm just a user trying to provide information and knowledge that may be useful to others. I am not a Microsoft employee.
