Download skin viewer

Minecraft Skin Viewer is an easy to use tool that allows players of the smash hit game to view, download and export any personalized skin in the public database hosted by Mojang, as well as any offline skins that are on your computer.

For prolific Minecraft skin creators, this tool can be useful if you are creating a new customized skin, or you want to see how a particular one looks without uploading to Mojang first. This tool also allows the user to switch between different skins, which is helpful if you are having issues choosing between several designs.

You are able to position the model to see how the new design looks from any angle, so that you can see how others will view you from behind or above. There are also predefined positions and the ability to speed up the animated movements of the model. This lets you see the full-effect in action.

If you are viewing a skin that you think you might want to edit further, the software also has the built-in ability to export the skin to an image file. If you are editing the skin file in a separate image editing application, any saved changes will show up automatically in Minecraft Skin Viewer.

This tool does not use a whole lot of processing power, meaning that you can run it simultaneously with Minecraft, with no effect on performance. The software has also been optimized to run on even the slowest of machines. There is also an extended version of this software available that adds in the ability to view the skins of other mobs, such as Creepers, Skeletons, chickens and other animals.
