How to play glint.skin
glint.skin turns any picture into a 3D holo trading card. It’s free, it runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer, and there’s nothing to download and no account to make.
1. Open your first pack
The first time you open glint.skin you get ✦85 to start, and your first pack is waiting on the Today tab. Your first pack is always Rare or better.
- Choose a picture. Your avatar, your pet, your sneakers, your setup: anything works, and a screenshot of your avatar works well. On the website you can also tap Use my Roblox avatar and type a Roblox username, to bring in that avatar as it looks right now.
- Say what it is. Every card is an Avatar, a Pet or a Thing, and each type has its own three stats (below).
- Name it, then drag and zoom the picture until the card’s window shows what you want. The card gets exactly what you see.
- Open the pack. Tap it and watch the seams: the colour glowing through them is a hint. The card’s rarity, stats and title are decided as it opens.
| Type | Its three stats | Some of its titles |
|---|---|---|
| Avatar | Aura, Drip, Chaos | Certified Menace, Main Character, Lobby Legend, Drip Merchant |
| Pet | Zoomies, Snack theft, Loyalty | Snack Thief, Zoomies Champion, Couch Guardian, Professional Napper |
| Thing | Hype, Vibes, Mystery | Mint Condition, Limited Edition, Absolute Unit, Rare Find |
Any picture fits. A photo fills the card’s window, a tall screenshot or a square keeps all of itself on its own colours, and a cut-out (like a Roblox avatar render) stands on a lit backdrop with a soft shadow.
2. Read your card
- Rarity: Common, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythic or SECRET. The rarer the card, the higher its stats can roll. See Card rarities and odds.
- Three stats, named for the card’s type, each up to 99.
- Overall (OVR): the average of the three stats, on the shield in the picture’s corner.
- A title, like Snack Thief or Main Character, picked from the type’s list.
- Its level (LV) at the top, and a serial number at the foot.
Cards are drawn in real 3D. The holo foil shifts as the card tilts: on the Cards tab, drag a card to tilt it, tap it to pick it up and spin it round, and pinch or scroll to zoom.
3. A free pack every day
A new free pack is ready every day at midnight, your time. Bonus packs come from codes: every glint.skin Short ends with one, three a day, and the third code each day gives a bonus pack.
Your collection has 6 card slots to start with, and 6 more at a time, up to 48, for ✦100, ✦150, ✦200, ✦250, ✦300, ✦350 and then ✦400. When it’s full, the pack screen says which card will make room (the least levelled one) and offers more slots first.
4. Level your cards up
Spend shards to take a card from level 1 up to level 10. Every level adds 3 to each of its stats (up to 99), and the overall rises with them. At levels 3, 5, 7 and 10 the card changes how it looks, too.
| Level | Shards to reach it | Added to each stat | What it gains |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | A new card | ||
| 2 | ✦40 | +3 | |
| 3 | ✦60 | +6 | Glow edge: its border glows in its rarity color |
| 4 | ✦90 | +9 | |
| 5 | ✦130 | +12 | Back glow: a light pulses behind the card |
| 6 | ✦180 | +15 | |
| 7 | ✦240 | +18 | Orbit light: a light runs round the frame |
| 8 | ✦310 | +21 | |
| 9 | ✦390 | +24 | |
| 10 | ✦480 | +27 | MAX prism: prism foil and a MAX badge |
Taking a card all the way to level 10 costs ✦1,920, and adds +27 to every stat. That’s why levels matter even on a Common: a levelled-up card can end up stronger than a brand-new card of a rarer kind. Before you spend, the level-up panel shows every stat now and after, and where the card will land on this week’s Top Cards.
5. Earn shards
Shards (✦) pay for levels, looks and card slots. Shards never buy packs, so nothing random is for sale. Every one of these is free:
- The daily gift: ✦10, ✦15, ✦20, ✦25, ✦35, ✦45, then ✦85 on day 7, for claiming on days in a row. Miss a day and the track starts again.
- Codes from the Shorts: type them into the box on Today. Each works once.
- Daily puzzles: two a day, up to ✦75 each. See Daily puzzles.
- Daily missions: four a day, ✦50 in all.
- Open a pack: ✦10
- Finish a daily puzzle: ✦10
- Share a card or a result: ✦15
- Play a Clash battle: ✦15
- Clash: your first 3 battles against friends each day pay ✦20 for a win, ✦15 for a draw and ✦10 for a loss. See Clash.
- Sharing: each way of sharing a card or a result pays once a day, up to ✦50 a day.
- Trophies: 17 of them, each paying once (below).
- Cloud save: ✦15, once, for turning it on.
Tap your shard balance at the top of the screen to see everything that’s waiting for you right now.

7. Dress your cards up
Every card can wear a foil, a frame, a background, a name style, an aura and stickers. Most are in the Shop, and you can try anything on your own card before you buy it. Some can’t be bought at all: they’re rewards for the days you play, whether or not they’re in a row. See Every look.
8. Your progress
There’s no account to make: your cards and progress are saved in the browser you play in. Settings → Save and backup can save them to a file and load them back, to move them to another browser. Cloud save (13 and over) keeps your progress and your cards’ pictures in a private account, and brings them back wherever you sign in.
Settings also has the sound, Reduce motion (less shaking and flashing), pop-ups, and whether you show on the leaderboards.
