How to Make a Shirt on Roblox: Template, Upload, and Sell
To make a shirt on Roblox, download the official shirt template, design your artwork on it, upload the image through the Creator Dashboard, and publish it for your avatar or for sale. Here is how to make a shirt on Roblox, step by step, from the blank template to a finished item in your inventory.
Roblox shirts wrap a single flat image around the avatar’s torso and arms. Once you understand how the template maps to the body, designing one is straightforward.
Download the Shirt Template
Everything starts with the official template, a flat layout that folds around the avatar. Never design without it.
- Search for the Roblox classic shirt template on the official Roblox support pages.
- Download the template image at its full resolution so your design stays sharp.
- Open it in an image editor such as a free tool like GIMP, Photopea, or Paint.NET.
- Identify the labeled panels for the front, back, and each arm.
Tip: Keep the template on its own layer beneath your artwork so you can hide it before exporting the final image.
Understand the Template Layout
The template looks confusing at first because it is a flattened, unfolded body. Each region wraps a specific part of the avatar.
- Front panel: the chest and stomach, the most visible area.
- Back panel: the rear of the torso, often matched to the front.
- Arm panels: four sections that wrap each arm, so edges must line up.
- Neck and waist strips: thin bands that blend the torso to head and legs.
The trick is that panel edges connect when folded, so a stripe or pattern must continue across the seams to look continuous on the avatar.
Design Your Shirt
With the layout clear, add your artwork. Keep the design aligned to the panels so it looks right when worn.
- Add a base color across the whole template as your shirt’s main fabric.
- Draw the front design centered on the chest panel where it is most visible.
- Extend patterns across seams so arms and back connect cleanly with the front.
- Export as a PNG at the template’s native resolution when finished.
Warning: Roblox reviews all uploads. Avoid copyrighted logos, offensive content, or another creator’s art, or your item will be rejected.
Upload Through the Creator Dashboard
Uploading is done on the web through the Creator Dashboard, not inside a game. You will need a small upload fee in Robux.
- Open the Creator Dashboard on the Roblox website and sign in.
- Go to the Creations or Avatar Items section and choose to create a classic shirt.
- Upload your PNG, give it a name, and submit it for moderation.
- Pay the upload fee in Robux, then wait for the item to pass review.
Group-owned items and individually owned items both upload here, though selling has different requirements depending on which you choose.
Put Your Shirt On Sale
Once approved, you can wear the shirt yourself or list it so others can buy it. Knowing how to make a shirt on Roblox is most rewarding when people buy your designs.
| Option | Who it suits | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wear only | Personal avatars | No sale needed |
| Sell as user | Established creators | Membership may be required |
| Sell via group | New sellers and teams | Group storefront handles sales |
Selling through a group is the most common route for new creators, since it sidesteps some individual-selling requirements.
To publish for sale, open the item in the dashboard, enable the sale toggle, and set a price in Robux. Roblox takes a marketplace cut, so price with that in mind. Promote the shirt through your game or profile to drive sales.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Robux to make a shirt? Yes. Uploading a classic shirt costs a small Robux fee per item, charged when you submit it for moderation on the Creator Dashboard.
Why was my shirt rejected? Roblox moderates every upload. Copyrighted material, offensive imagery, or low-effort blank designs are the usual reasons. Redesign with original artwork and resubmit.
What size should the template be? Use the official template at its native resolution. Designing on the real template guarantees your artwork lines up with the avatar’s panels when worn.
Can I sell shirts as a new account? Selling as an individual can require a membership, so many new creators sell through a group instead. The group storefront handles the sale for you.
Do shirts work on all avatar types? Classic shirts are made for the classic (R6 and R15) blocky body. Layered clothing is a separate, more advanced system that uses 3D models rather than a flat template.
