MCTools vs SkinMC

MCTools is a free, browser-based set of Minecraft utilities, with no account needed. Its 3D Skin Editor lets you paint on a rotatable character model, switch between 3D and 2D views, and choose Steve or Alex. Editing controls include undo and redo, pencil, fill, erase, color-pick, swap, selection, gradient, palette, layers, and mirroring. You can download a skin or use Java and Bedrock username lookup options. Other tools cover skin packs, avatars, custom packs, capes, coordinates, and color codes. The Pack Converter handles Java-to-Bedrock and Bedrock-to-Java conversion, with optional support for sounds, language files, animated textures, models, and PBR textures; some Java features, such as custom models and shaders, may not convert. MCTools says files are processed in the browser and stay on your device. Its privacy policy says it does not store files or other user data on its infrastructure, though a username lookup sends the username to a public service. The terms advise keeping your own backups.

SkinMC is a browser-based Minecraft skin editor for creating and adjusting skin textures. Its preview and editing tools let users draw with a pen, sample colors, fill areas, change brightness, and erase. Undo and redo, a grid option, and controls for body, overlay, model, and position help with revisions. The editor auto-saves and provides options to import a skin and download the result. SkinMC also lists a skin viewer, avatar maker, and achievement tool, as well as community features for skins, totems, heads, avatars, capes, banners, servers, and a leaderboard. Separately, its Fabric mod enables custom capes for Minecraft versions 1.18.1 through 1.20.x. Setting up the mod requires signing in and connecting a Minecraft account to SkinMC before uploading a cape. Uploaded capes are visible in game to others using the mod. The editor is free and runs in a browser.
