🎨 Creating Your First Roblox Decal
Making decals in Roblox is straightforward once you know the steps. A decal is essentially a 2D image you can apply to surfaces in your games, perfect for adding logos, signs, artwork, or textures to enhance your creations.
Step 1: Prepare Your Image
Start with an image file that’s either PNG, JPG, or GIF format. Keep your image under 1024×1024 pixels for best results, though smaller sizes like 512×512 work great too. Make sure your image follows Roblox’s community guidelines – no inappropriate content, copyrighted material, or offensive imagery.
Step 2: Upload Through Roblox Studio
Open Roblox Studio and navigate to the “View” tab, then click “Toolbox.” In the toolbox window, select “Images” and click the upload button (usually a plus icon). Choose your prepared image file and wait for it to process. Roblox will review your upload, which typically takes a few minutes but can take up to 24 hours.
Step 3: Apply Your Decal
Once approved, your decal appears in your inventory. To use it, select any part in your workspace, then in the Properties panel, find the “Decal” property. Insert a Decal object and paste your image’s asset ID into the “Texture” field. You can also drag the decal directly from the toolbox onto any surface.
Important Tips
- Moderation: All uploads go through Roblox’s moderation system, so be patient
- Cost: Uploading decals costs Robux (usually 10 Robux per upload)
- Transparency: PNG files with transparent backgrounds work best for complex shapes
- Sizing: Decals automatically scale to fit the surface you apply them to
Troubleshooting Common Issues
If your decal appears blurry, try uploading a higher resolution version. If it’s rejected, double-check that your image doesn’t contain any text, logos, or content that might violate guidelines. Remember that even simple images sometimes get flagged by the automated system, so don’t take rejections personally.
With these basics mastered, you’ll be ready to customize your Roblox creations with unique visual elements that make your games stand out from the crowd.
Who this is for: Roblox developers and creators wanting to add custom images and textures to their games.
