You can create a t-shirt in Roblox Mobile using the in-app design tools, but uploading it requires a computer
Roblox Mobile lets you design a t-shirt on your phone or tablet using built-in templates and drawing tools. However, the actual upload to make it wearable in games happens only through the Roblox website on a computer — the mobile app does not have an upload feature yet. This means you design on your device, save your work, then move to a computer to finalize it.
The process takes about 10 to 15 minutes once you know the steps. You will need a Roblox account (which you already have if you came from the setup guide), a device with the Roblox app installed, and access to a computer with a web browser when you are ready to upload.
Key Takeaways
- Roblox Mobile has a built-in t-shirt designer, but you cannot upload directly from your phone — you must use a computer to finalize and publish your design.
- T-shirt designs must be 128 by 128 pixels or larger, and Roblox accepts PNG, JPG, and TGA file formats.
- You can save your design as an image file on your device, then upload it through the Roblox website under the Create section.
- Uploading a t-shirt costs 10 Robux (Roblox's in-game currency), and you must own the design or have permission to upload it.
How to design a t-shirt in the Roblox Mobile app
Open the Roblox app on your phone or tablet and tap the three horizontal lines (menu icon) at the bottom right. Scroll down and look for "Create" — tap it. You will see options for different things you can make. Select "T-Shirt" from the list.
The design screen opens with a blank t-shirt template. You can draw directly on the shirt using the brush tool, or you can import an image you already made. If you want to draw, tap the brush icon and choose your color from the palette at the bottom. The eraser tool is next to the brush if you need to fix mistakes. When you are done designing, tap the checkmark or "Done" button to save your work.
The app will ask you to name your design and choose whether to save it privately or publicly. For now, save it as a draft — you will publish it later from a computer. Tap "Save" and note where the file is stored on your device (usually in your Photos or Downloads folder).
Preparing your design file for upload
Before you upload, your design needs to be in the right format and size. Roblox accepts PNG, JPG, and TGA files. The minimum size is 128 by 128 pixels, but Roblox recommends 256 by 256 pixels or larger for better quality. If you designed your shirt in the mobile app, it is already the correct size.
If you created your design in another app (like Photoshop, GIMP, or even a straightforward drawing app), export it as a PNG or JPG file before you move to a computer. Make sure the file is saved somewhere you can find it — your Downloads folder or a cloud storage service like Google Drive or OneDrive works well. You will need to access this file from your computer in the next step.
Uploading your t-shirt design from a computer
Go to the Roblox website on a computer and log in with your account. Click on your username in the top right corner and select "Create" from the dropdown menu. On the left side, you will see a list of creation options — click "Shirts" (not "T-Shirts"; Roblox uses "Shirts" for the upload section).
Click the blue "Create a Shirt" button. A form appears asking you to upload an image. Click "Choose File" and navigate to your t-shirt design on your computer. Select the file and click "Open." The image will preview on the screen so you can see how it looks on a Roblox character.
Give your shirt a name in the text box below the preview. This is what other players will see in the catalog. Click "Upload" at the bottom. Roblox will charge 10 Robux from your account to publish the shirt. If you do not have enough Robux, you can buy some through the Roblox website, or you can wait and upload later.
What happens after you upload
Once you click "Upload," Roblox checks your design to make sure it follows the rules — no real-world brand logos, no inappropriate images, and no text that violates community standards. This review usually takes a few minutes to a few hours. You will see a notification in your account when the shirt is approved or rejected.
If your shirt is approved, it appears in your inventory and in the Roblox catalog. Other players can find it by searching your username or browsing the shirts category. You can wear it in any game that allows custom clothing. If it is rejected, Roblox sends a message explaining why. You can edit the design and upload again, though you will be charged another 10 Robux.
Common mistakes to avoid when designing
The most common mistake is making the design too small or blurry. Roblox stretches small images to fit the shirt, which makes them look pixelated. Start with at least 256 by 256 pixels if you can. Another mistake is uploading a design that includes real brand names or logos — Roblox will reject these because of copyright rules.
Do not forget that your design will wrap around a 3D character model. If you center all your art in the middle of the image, it may look odd when worn. Test your design by looking at how it appears on the preview before you upload. If you are not happy with it, go back to the mobile app, edit the design, save it again, and upload the new version.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I upload a t-shirt design directly from my phone?
No. The Roblox Mobile app has a design tool but no upload feature. You must save your design and upload it from a computer using the Roblox website. This is a limitation of the mobile app, not your account.
How much does it cost to upload a t-shirt?
Each upload costs 10 Robux. If your design is rejected and you want to try again, you pay another 10 Robux for the new upload. Robux can be purchased with real money or earned through certain games and activities.
What file types does Roblox accept for t-shirts?
Roblox accepts PNG, JPG, and TGA files. PNG is the most common choice because it supports transparent backgrounds. Make sure your file is at least 128 by 128 pixels, though 256 by 256 or larger looks better on the finished shirt.
Can I edit my t-shirt design after I upload it?
You cannot edit a published shirt directly. If you want to change it, you must create a new design, save it, and upload it as a separate shirt with a different name. You will pay 10 Robux for the new upload.
Why was my t-shirt design rejected?
Roblox rejects designs that include real brand logos, copyrighted images, inappropriate content, or text that violates community rules. If your design is rejected, the notification will explain the reason. You can redesign it and upload again.
