It isn’t just the games that make Roblox a fun platform, it’s the customization, from the style of your avatar’s hair to the shirt they wear. And the best part? Roblox lets you make your own t-shirt—that is, if you know how. Browse the shop, and you’ll find that most of the cosmetic items there are created by other players. Sure, Roblox has a few items here and there, but it pales in comparison to the sheer number of player-created gear. So, why not create your own t-shirt in Roblox?
How To Create (& Upload) a T-Shirt in Roblox
[Updated on May 24 – Added new images for clarity and improved the step-by-step process for better readability]
Before you learn how to make a t-shirt in Roblox, you need to first download Roblox Studio. When you installed Roblox the first time, Roblox Studio should have been installed at the same time. If, for whatever reason, you don’t have it or it was uninstalled, it’s no biggie. You can re-download Roblox Studio for free.
Pick an image editor. Microsoft Paint is fine, but I recommend Paint.net for more creative tools. It’s free, too!
Using a template (you can get them online), create your image in the editor. The dimensions have to be at least 512×512 pixels. Add the details and so on. When you’re finished, save the image as either a PNG, JPG, TGA, or BMP.
Create a new world in Roblox Studio. Just the Baseplate template will do; you don’t need anything with assets. Click File, then Publish to Roblox. Now select Avatar and choose Rig Builder. You can choose to use your own avatar or generate a new one.
Now test out your new t-shirt. Highlight your avatar rig then select it on the right-hand side. See the little plus sign when you hover over it? Click that. It’ll open a menu and you want to choose Shirt to add a clothing asset to your rig.
Click the Clothing asset and look at its properties in the lower-right corner. See the ShirtTemplate property? Clicking that will open a small box that appears, select Add Image, and find your design. If there are mistakes, you’ll have to go back and edit your image in an editor again until it looks right.

Using the Creator Hub, choose Creations on the left, then switch to the Avatar Items tab, then the Classics sub-tab. Choose Classic T-Shirts from the drop-down menu and then select Upload Asset.
Once your t-shirt has a name and a description, you can upload it immediately to Roblox. Not counting the time it takes to design the shirt, it’s actually pretty easy and fast to show off your skills as a designer!
