Broken

I remember being scared to ask my dad for this app and when I downloaded it, I never used it because it didn’t do anything. All of those positive reviews are lies and they are trying to trick you into being disappointed. Do not download, it’s not gonna work and it should be removed from the App Store any time now.

Upload doesn’t work

Creating the skin was easy, but when we upload to Minecraft we’re redirected to “We’re ssssorry we couldn’t find the page you’re looking for". Please update your upload link

Good app

Honestly I don't understand why people are like "MAKE IT FOR PE OMG" Minecraft wasn't originally made for the phone so if you have a problem then get PC version quit being such brats

Also love the app

This app is so crapy, I CANT EVEN!

I made this perfectly good skin and when it came out from scanning it was complete CRAP! If I could put in pictures oh boy I would just to warn the new comers...!

Ya didn't think of everything

The app is very specific, tells you what to do but you forgot about those people with phones, or iPods that have only one the inside camera so the app is useless to me I printed the sheet, I bought the $4 app and I finished the skin but when I scanned it the screen just went gray. Please update this app, And people I higher recommend to not get this app if you have a inner camera.

FAQ

What does the Minecraft: Skin Scanner app do?

This app allows you to turn your hand-drawn Minecraft skin designs into actual in-game skins. You print a template, color it in, and then scan it with the app. The app then transforms your drawing into a digital skin that can be uploaded to your Minecraft account.

How do I create a custom skin with this app?

First, print one of the provided skin design templates. Color in the template using marker pens. Then, use the app to scan your colored design. The app will convert your drawing into a Minecraft skin that you can upload.

Can I upload skins to all versions of Minecraft?

The app allows direct uploads to Minecraft.net for the PC version at no extra cost. For Pocket Edition skin uploads, an additional purchase of Minecraft Skin Studio is required. This app does not support custom skins for Pocket Edition or Xbox versions.

Are there any additional costs involved?

The app itself is free to download and use for scanning and uploading to the PC version of Minecraft. However, uploading skins to Pocket Edition requires purchasing Minecraft Skin Studio separately. Creating papercraft models also requires Minecraft Papercraft Studio, which is sold separately.

What are the benefits of using this app for skin creation?

This app offers a unique way to create highly detailed skins that look professionally made, even from simple drawings. Your designs will feature shading and color variations that would typically take significant time to create manually on a computer.
