Is uploading a t-shirt to Roblox still free?

No. From July 14, 2026, classic t-shirts, shirts and pants cost 80 Robux per upload. T-shirts previously uploaded for free; that free tier ended with this update.

Why does Roblox charge 80 Robux to upload clothes?

Roblox raised the upload fee for classic clothing as part of unifying 2D and 3D avatar-item publishing. The stated goal is stronger protections and a more consistent Marketplace. Roblox initially announced 200 Robux, then revised the fee to 80 Robux before the July 14 rules took effect.

How much does it cost to upload and sell a Roblox shirt in 2026?

Uploading costs 80 Robux. Listing classic clothing for sale also requires a 10 Robux publishing advance, so the upfront outlay is 90 Robux per item, plus an active Plus or Premium subscription. The publishing advance is rebatable through sales; the creator share on Marketplace sales starts at 30%.

Do I need Roblox Premium to make clothes now?

Not to *create* them. Designing and downloading a clothing texture — for example with UGCraft's free makers — needs no subscription. Premium/Plus is required to publish items for sale on the Marketplace, along with ID verification and 2FA.

Can I still make Roblox clothes for free?

Yes. Generating and downloading your designs stays completely free with UGCraft's shirt maker, clothing maker, and 3D tester. The new fees are Roblox's upload and publishing charges, not creation charges — you only meet them at the moment you upload to Roblox.

What happens to my existing clothing items on August 1, 2026?

Items that do not meet the new compliance requirements are taken off-sale from August 1, 2026. Existing items you own are not deleted, but to keep them listed for sale you must satisfy the ID verification, 2FA, and subscription requirements.

Did Roblox change the clothing revenue share?

Yes. The creator share on the 2D Marketplace drops from 70% to 30%. For sales inside an experience, the split is creator 30%, experience owner 40%, and Roblox 30%.

Is the 80 Robux upload fee refunded if my item is rejected?

No. The Robux you spend on an upload is not returned if the item fails moderation or review. That is why it pays to preview and validate your design — on a real R15 avatar with a free tester — before you spend anything.

When exactly do the new Roblox clothing rules start?

The unified 2D/3D publishing rules take effect July 14, 2026. Non-compliant items are removed from sale starting August 1, 2026.

I only make clothing for myself — do the classic clothing new rules apply?

Partly. You can design and download for free, but if you upload the item to Roblox to wear it, the 80 Robux upload fee and ID verification or a linked parent account apply from July 14 — even for personal use. Preview for free first, and only upload the designs you truly want on your avatar.

Roblox 2D Clothing Update 2026: 80 Robux Upload Fee

Roblox 2D clothing update 2026 — 80 Robux upload fee and 10 Robux publishing advance

The Roblox classic-clothing rules that took effect on July 14, 2026 use an 80 Robux upload fee and a 10 Robux publishing advance. The advance applies to classic t-shirts, classic shirts and classic pants. Uploading also requires government-ID verification or a linked parent account. Selling requires 2-step verification and an active Roblox Plus or Premium 1000/2200 membership.

Roblox originally announced a much higher 200 Robux upload fee and a publishing advance starting at 600 Robux on July 7. After creator feedback, Roblox revised the numbers on July 13 — before the rules went live. The 200 + 600 proposal therefore never became the effective classic-clothing fee.

Verified July 14 rules

Step	Current classic-clothing rule
Upload a classic t-shirt, shirt or pants	80 Robux per submission
Upload eligibility	Government-ID verification or a linked parent account
Put the item on sale	10 Robux publishing advance
Selling eligibility	ID or linked parent account + 2-step verification + active Plus or Premium 1000/2200
Marketplace creator share	30% base share
In-experience sale	Creator 30% + experience owner 40%

The official fee table lists classic t-shirt, classic shirt and classic pants separately from 3D T-Shirt, Shirt, Pants and other layered-clothing categories. The 600 Robux advance still appears for several 3D clothing categories; it is not the advance for classic 2D clothing.

What does one new listing cost?

Uploading and then listing one new classic item requires 90 Robux upfront:

80 Robux upload fee. Roblox says upload fees are generally not refunded when an item is rejected through moderation.
10 Robux publishing advance. This is a rebatable advance, not the same thing as the upload fee. Roblox returns it from the platform share as the item sells.

If you take an approved item off sale and later put it back on sale, Roblox says you do not pay another publishing advance.

Who is affected?

You only design or preview clothing

Creating and downloading textures with UGCraft stays free. You can also preview seams, wrapping and colors with the free Roblox Clothing Tester before paying Roblox.

You upload clothing for yourself

Uploading still requires the 80 Robux fee plus ID verification or a linked parent account, even if you do not put the item on sale. There is no 10 Robux publishing advance unless you publish the item for sale.

You sell classic clothing

In addition to the 80 Robux upload fee, you need 2-step verification, an active Plus or eligible Premium membership and the 10 Robux publishing advance. The Marketplace base creator share is 30%. If the purchase happens inside your own experience, you can receive both the creator and experience-owner portions.

What about existing items?

Previously purchased classic clothing remains wearable. Roblox announced that accounts without the required active subscription would have existing 2D items taken off sale starting August 1, 2026. Taking an item off sale does not delete it, and putting an approved item back on sale does not require another publishing advance.

FAQ

Is uploading a classic t-shirt still free?

No. Since July 14, classic t-shirts, shirts and pants all cost 80 Robux per upload.

Is the publishing advance really 10 Robux?

Yes. Roblox's current fee table lists a 10 Robux non-limited publishing advance for all three classic categories. The 600 Robux rows belong to modern 3D clothing categories.

Why did some guides say 200 + 600?

That was Roblox's original July 7 announcement. Roblox replaced those figures with 80 + 10 on July 13, one day before the policy took effect.

Do I need Plus or Premium to create clothing?

Not to create or download a texture. The membership requirement applies when publishing and keeping Marketplace items on sale.

Is the 80 Robux fee refunded after rejection?

In general, no. Roblox states that the upload fee is not refunded when an item is rejected through moderation, so preview and check the design before submitting it.
