Getting Started with Hytale Skins

Welcome to Hyskins.io! This guide will help you understand the basics of Hytale character customization and how to use skins from our platform.

What are Hytale Skins?

Hytale skins are JSON configuration files that define how your character appears in the game. They control everything from hair and face to clothing and accessories.

How to Download Skins

  • Browse our collection and find a skin you like
  • Click the "Download" button on the skin's page
  • Save the JSON file to your computer
  • Place it in your Hytale skins folder

    • Applying Skins in Game

    Once you've downloaded a skin, you'll need to place it in the correct directory and select it from the in-game customization menu.

    Check out our [detailed guide](/guides/change-skins) for step-by-step instructions with screenshots.
