How To Make Your Own Decal In Roblox On Mobile

To make your own decal in Roblox on mobile, you need to design an image in a separate app and then upload it through the Roblox mobile app's asset system. This process lets you add custom logos, patterns, or artwork to your Roblox creations directly from your phone.

What you need to make your own decal in Roblox on mobile

You cannot draw a decal directly inside the Roblox mobile app. You must first create your image using a separate photo editing or drawing app on your phone. Roblox accepts decal images in JPEG (.jpg), PNG (.png), Targa (.tga), and bitmap (.bmp) formats. A decal is an image that stretches to fit one face of a part or union, which is different from a texture that repeats across a surface. Knowing this distinction helps you choose the right image for your project.

Design your decal image in a separate app

Use a mobile photo editing or drawing app such as Canva or a pixel art tool to create your decal image. These apps give you full control over colors, shapes, and text so you can design exactly what you want. For detailed steps on using Canva specifically, refer to the Canva guide for image creation. Once your design is complete, save it to your device in one of the supported formats.

Upload your image to Roblox as a decal

After designing your image, follow these steps to upload it as a decal in the Roblox mobile app. To apply decals to clothing, access the Image Upload feature via the Avatar section under the Shirts, Pants, or T-Shirts tabs:

Open the Roblox app and log in to your account.
Tap the Create tab at the bottom of the screen.
Navigate to the Decals section.
Tap the Upload button.
Select your image from your device's photo library.
Confirm the upload and wait for the moderation check to complete.

All uploaded images must comply with Roblox's Community Standards and Terms of Use. They will undergo a moderation check before becoming usable or visible. Keep your file size within the allowed limits and use a supported format to avoid upload failures.

Find and use your new decal in experiences

Once the moderation process approves your decal, it appears in your Roblox inventory. You can then apply it in any game that allows decal placement. This is a great way to personalize your avatar or decorate your in-game builds using these Roblox mobile tricks. Note that you cannot edit the decal after upload, and mobile does not offer the same object-editing tools available on desktop.

Troubleshooting and rules for Roblox decals

Moderation can take time, so do not expect your decal to appear instantly. If your upload fails, check that your image uses a supported format (JPEG, PNG, Targa, or BMP) and is not too large. The maximum file size for uploaded images is 1 MB. Always follow Roblox's Community Rules and Terms of Use, any content that violates these rules will be rejected or removed. Common upload failures also occur when the image is corrupted or saved in an unsupported format.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I edit a decal after I upload it on mobile?

No, you cannot make changes to a decal once it is uploaded. You must delete the decal and upload a new image if you need to change it.

What image dimensions should I use for a decal?

While Roblox does not enforce strict dimensions, using a square image with a 1:1 aspect ratio often gives the best results. For optimal results, use image dimensions of 128x128 pixels. Images that are too small may appear blurry when stretched across a large part.

Can I sell or trade decals I make on mobile?

Yes, you can sell or trade your custom decals on the Roblox marketplace, as long as they comply with Roblox's Terms of Service and you meet the requirements for creating and trading assets.

Why is my decal not showing up in the game?

Your decal may still be pending moderation, or the game you are in may not allow custom decals. Check your inventory to confirm the decal is approved, and try using it in a game that supports decal placement.
