Skin files are 32-bit RGBA formatted in a 2:1 ratio. Each side of the image must be divisible by 4 pixels.
To create a skin, you'll need the appropriate software before you begin. It's advised to use a vector graphics image editor, as they produce clean exports and are easy to edit. Some popular choices are:
- Inkscape (free, open-source, and the choice of this tutorial)
- Adobe Illustrator
- Affinity Designer
