Using the Creator Hub Dashboard
The easiest way to upload images to Roblox is through the Creator Hub dashboard. Head to create.roblox.com and log into your account. Once you’re in, navigate to the “Development” section and click on “Assets.” From there, you’ll see an “Upload Asset” button that lets you browse and select image files from your computer.
Roblox accepts several image formats including PNG, JPG, and GIF files. Keep in mind that your images need to be under 1024×1024 pixels and smaller than 1MB in file size. The platform also has content moderation, so make sure your images follow Roblox’s community guidelines.
Understanding Asset IDs and Decals
When you upload an image, Roblox automatically generates a unique Asset ID for it. This ID is what you’ll use to reference your image in games and experiences. The system creates what’s called a “decal” – essentially a wrapper around your image that makes it usable within the Roblox engine.
You can find your Asset ID by going back to your assets list in the Creator Hub. Each uploaded image will show its ID number, which typically looks like a long string of digits. Copy this ID because you’ll need it when placing images in your games.
Adding Images to Your Game
Once you have your Asset ID, you can use it in Roblox Studio. Create an ImageLabel or ImageButton object in your game, then paste the Asset ID into the “Image” property. The format should be “rbxassetid://” followed by your ID number.
For GUI elements, ImageLabels work great for decorative images, while ImageButtons are perfect when you want players to click on your uploaded image. You can also apply images as textures to parts and surfaces using the same Asset ID system.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- Image not appearing: Double-check that you’re using the correct Asset ID format with “rbxassetid://” prefix
- Moderation delays: New uploads may take a few minutes to appear as they go through automatic content review
- Size problems: Ensure your image dimensions don’t exceed 1024×1024 pixels
- File format errors: Stick to PNG, JPG, or GIF formats for best compatibility
The process becomes second nature once you’ve uploaded a few images, and you’ll be able to customize your Roblox creations with personal artwork and designs. If you’re looking to put these skills to use, you might enjoy exploring some creative building experiences.
Who this is for: Roblox developers and creators who want to add custom images to their games and experiences.
