Features that speed up symmetrical faces
Tips
Faces are naturally symmetrical, so the tools below are worth switching on early rather than copying strokes by hand.
- Press X to turn on Symmetry — anything you paint on one side of the face appears on the other side at the same time.
- Press X again to turn Symmetry off whenever you want to paint just one side freely.
- Use the Select tool (R) to isolate a specific region before editing so you don't accidentally paint over areas you've already finished.
- Use the Shape tool (L) to drop in clean circles or rectangles.
- Tap [ or ] to change brush size on the fly.

- Run the upload use the in-game upload option to send the design directly to Roblox.

Common questions
FAQDoes uploading a design cost Robux?
No. The painting tools and the upload feature are both free to use. In-game purchases exist but are not required to create or upload a design.

No. UGC uploaded through this game cannot be put on sale. You can share it with others using the share code, but selling it is not allowed.
Where can I wear an approved design?
Once Roblox's moderation approves it, the face appears in your Roblox inventory and can be worn as an avatar item in every Roblox game.
How do I draw without the symmetry mirror effect?
Press X to toggle Symmetry off. With it off, strokes only appear where you actually paint, giving you full freehand control.
Why does my imported decal look blurry?
Decals smaller than 512x512 pixels lose quality when the game loads them. Resize your image to 512x512 before importing it.
