Capes

On the website’s My capes page you can upload, wear and manage capes.

Who can use what

Cape	What it needs
Custom cape (PNG)	Sponsorship. The website and the game share 5 cape slots
Animated cape (GIF)	An animated cape subscription, see Animated capes and expiry
Official cape, follow Minecraft, no cape	No sponsorship needed

Every cape needs the website account to be linked to Minecraft first. If you have not sponsored yet, see How to sponsor.

Try it in game without sponsoring

In game you can import a PNG and wear it as a local custom cape without sponsoring, but only you can see it. See Capes and cosmetics.

Upload requirements

Type	Ratio	Size	Other
PNG	2:1	64×32 to 4096×2048	2 MiB at most
GIF (animated)	2:1	64×32 to 512×256	2–64 frames, 4 MiB at most

High-resolution PNGs are supported. Images larger than 2048×1024 are scaled down proportionally when saved, never cropped or stretched, so some quality may be lost.

Limits

The top of the page shows how many you have used and your limit. Animated capes are counted separately.

Wearing

Pick one in your library and click Wear. You can also choose:

• Official cape: wear the official cape your Minecraft account owns;
• Follow Minecraft: stay in line with the setting in vanilla Minecraft;
• No cape.

These choices only change what is shown in Soar.

Deleting

If you delete the cape you are wearing, it switches to your official cape automatically.
