To put a custom image on a Roblox object, add a Decal to a Part or union in Roblox Studio, choose the face it should cover, and set its ColorMapContent to an uploaded image. A Decal stretches to fit one face; use a Texture when you want a pattern to repeat.

Apply a decal to a Part or union

  1. Open your place in Roblox Studio. In Explorer, select the Part or union you want to decorate.

  2. Add a Decal object as a child of that Part or union. You can add a Texture instead if you need a repeating pattern.

  3. Select the Decal and, in Properties, set Face to the surface you want: Top, Bottom, Front, Back, Left, or Right. Studio’s orientation indicator can help you identify the part’s front and top.

A pattern that repeats across a surface Texture It repeats horizontally and vertically, with controls for tile size and offset.
An image texture on a MeshPart MeshPart texture workflow Roblox points to the MeshPart’s TextureContent property for this use.
An interactive or UI-style image on a 3D object SurfaceGui with ImageLabel or ImageButton This is an alternative when the image should function as interface content.

Upload an image and use its asset ID

Import an image through Studio, then select it for the Decal’s ColorMapContent or reference its asset ID. Roblox cloud assets have unique IDs, commonly written as rbxassetid://[ID]. The available file formats and size rules depend on the upload route:

These are pathway-specific requirements, not one universal image limit. Use the rules for the upload method you choose.

Check asset access and moderation

Images uploaded by a user or group are private by default. To distribute an asset broadly, Roblox identifies Creator Store distribution as the route for making an asset ID broadly available. If you use an image across places or groups, check its ownership and permissions instead of assuming that the ID is usable everywhere. Roblox explains access and asset handling in its Assets documentation.

Uploaded images must follow Roblox’s Community Rules and Terms of Use and pass moderation before they can be visible and usable in a published game. Roblox says asset moderation generally happens within a few hours, but this is not a guaranteed processing time. An asset still pending moderation when a game is published is not visible or interactive to players. The separate Marketplace moderation page says Marketplace item review can take up to 24 hours; that timing concerns Marketplace submissions, not a guaranteed timeline for ordinary Studio image imports. See Roblox’s asset guidance and Marketplace moderation page.
