FAQ
Do I need to install anything?
No. grzyTattooTool runs entirely in your browser - there's no desktop download. You only need a modern browser with WebGL2 (Chrome, Edge or Firefox).
Can I use the tool offline?
No - grzyTattooTool runs in the browser and needs an internet connection.
Can I share a collection with another user?
Not directly through the UI. The workaround is to download the resource,
hand the .zip to the other user, and have them use Import existing
collection on their own account.
How many collections / overlays can I have?
There's no hard cap, but very large collections (hundreds of overlays) take longer to export because every YTD is re-encoded on each build.
What image formats are supported?
PNG is recommended (transparency is essential). Other browser-decodable formats may work for upload but PNG with an alpha channel gives the best in-game result.
Does the export work for singleplayer GTA V?
The generated resource is wrapped as a FiveM resource (fxmanifest.lua +
data_file entries). The XML and YTD files inside it are standard
PedDecorationCollection / texture dictionary assets - advanced users can
repackage them into a DLC for singleplayer use, but this is not covered by
the tool.
Do tattoos have to be the same for male and female?
No - male and female are completely independent within a collection. You
can add a tattoo only for the male ped, only for the female ped, or upload
different designs for each. The exporter writes the matching
shop_tattoo.meta entries based on what's actually present for each
gender.
The resource downloaded - what should I do with the shop_tattoo.meta?
Nothing manual. The generated fxmanifest.lua already registers it via
data_file 'TATTOO_SHOP_DLC_FILE', so FiveM picks it up automatically when
the resource starts.
Can I edit the XML / shop_tattoo.meta by hand after export?
Yes - they're plain text. Just keep in mind that re-downloading the resource from grzyTattooTool will overwrite your manual edits, so if you go down that path you're maintaining the files outside the tool from then on.
Where can I get help / report bugs?
Join the grzy.tools Discord and post in the appropriate channel.
