How to Create a Face on Roblox?
Roblox is a highly popular online platform that allows users to create and customize their own avatars. While it’s easy to create a avatar with a default face, you might want to create a unique face that reflects your character. In this article, we will explore how to create a face on Roblox in just a few simple steps.
Step 1: Before You Start
To create a face on Roblox, you first need to have a Roblox account. You also need to have a basic understanding of pixels and how they work in computer graphics. If you’re new to programming and game development, don’t worry; Roblox has a built-in paint tool that makes it easy for even beginners to create a face.
What is PNG format?
Before we proceed, let’s quickly discuss the PNG (Portable Network Graphics) format. All graphics on Roblox should be saved in PNG format. PNG allows for transparent backgrounds, which is important if you want to create a face with a customizable skin tone.
How to Create a Face on Roblox
To create a face on Roblox, follow these step-by-step instructions:
Step 2: Choose Your Face Template (
Free Custom Faces
)
Before creating your own face, you have a few options:
- Use a pre-made face template: Head over to the Roblox directory (https://www.roblox.com/directory) to search for free custom faces.
- Edit an existing face: Choose from Roblox’s built-in models, which can be edited using the edit button.
- Create Your Own Face: Use the paint tools from your computer or a dedicated sprite sheet editor to create your own face!
Step 3: Access Roblox’s Paint Tool (Painter)
- Type the words "Painter" in your Browser, and click on the search. When the page loads, you need to sign in with your Roblox username and password.
- Download and install the Painter application (note that it’s only available for Windows machines)
Step 4: Modify the Face Template
- Tips:
- Make use of the undo feature as multiple layers can be created, just undo to remove unwanted changes when finished.
- Use Control Z to undo any movements in the painter, useful in case you make undesired changes.
- Experiment is recommended, and you will definitely figure out what works best for a single face.
Step 5: Load Your Face Template in Your Account
- Open [ROBLOX]
- Click on the "Collection" tab
- Create / Update a new Collection called "Face Template".
Editing Proportions, Size & Resize
These important steps will help ensure proportions match and your face still has a decent look when changing face size.
Step 6 – Step 7: Save Your Face Templates in PNG Format
- Set a Transparent background option ( Alpha Channel) to be supported while saving your face.
- Then export your face to Png format.
Using Your Face Template
This is the final step:
Add Your Face to a Place in Roblox

2 Click “Models” to choose “Face”.
