Roblox Studio is a powerful tool for building games and creating amazing experiences. If you’ve ever played games on Roblox and thought, “Wow, I wish I could add that awesome sword or stylish hat into my own project!” — well, you’re in luck. That’s where UGC (User-Generated Content) comes in!
TL;DR
Importing UGC into Roblox Studio is easier than you think! First, get the asset ID of the item you want. Then, use the Toolbox in Roblox Studio to bring it into your project. Make sure you’re allowed to use the asset, and always follow Roblox’s rules. Let’s get creative!
What Is UGC?
UGC, or User-Generated Content, is any content—like hats, accessories, models, textures—created by other Roblox users. It’s shared with the community, and you can often find it on the Roblox Marketplace.
Thanks to UGC, you don’t have to make everything from scratch. You can use ready-made assets to decorate your game, create realistic environments, or add a touch of creativity to your characters.
Before You Begin: Rules and Permissions
Just like borrowing someone else’s bike, you need permission! Only use items that are:
- Publicly available
- Free to use or you have permission to use
Using UGC that you aren’t allowed to use can get your game taken down or even lead to account warnings. So always check the license or ownership of an item before you import it.
Step-by-Step: Importing UGC into Roblox Studio
Ready to bring some cool creations into your game? Here’s how to do it:
1. Find the UGC Asset
Go to the Roblox Catalog. This is where you can search for all sorts of UGC content like items, models, decals, and more. Look for the item you want by typing keywords in the search bar.

2. Get the Asset ID
At the top of the item’s page, look at the URL. It will look something like this:
https://www.roblox.com/library/123456789/Cool-Hat
The number in the URL (123456789 in this case) is the asset ID. Copy that number!
3. Open Roblox Studio
Launch Roblox Studio and either open your existing project or create a new one.
4. Use the Toolbox
Make sure the Toolbox is open. If it’s not, click on View in the top menu and then click Toolbox.

In the Toolbox, paste the Asset ID into the search bar. Press Enter. If it’s available for use, the item should pop up below.
You can also search by name, but using the Asset ID will get the exact item faster.
6. Insert Into Your Game
Click on the item from the Toolbox, and it will automatically be inserted into your game! You can now move, scale, or rotate it however you want.
Pro Tip: Make sure it goes into the right part of your game—either into the workspace, starter character, or whichever area you’re designing.
Editing the Imported UGC
Once you’ve imported your UGC item, you might want to tweak it a bit:
- Resize it to fit your game world better
- Change colors or materials
- Add scripts to make it come alive!
You can do all of this easily with the Properties and Explorer windows in Roblox Studio.
Don’t Forget: Save and Test
After importing and modifying your UGC item, hit File → Save to avoid losing progress.
Always test your game before publishing. This ensures that the UGC item doesn’t cause performance issues or bugs.
Can’t Find the Item in the Toolbox?
Not all UGC items are allowed for use in Roblox Studio. Some items, especially paid or personal-use-only ones, may be locked.
In these cases, consider these options:
- Find a similar free item available in the Toolbox
- Contact the creator and ask for permission
- Create your own version using Roblox Studio or importing your own assets
Alternative: Using Models from the Creator Marketplace
Besides UGC from the catalog, you can also grab items from the Creator Marketplace. These are often ready-to-use and allowed for use in games.
Just click and add them to your game via the Toolbox—no Asset ID needed!
Tips for Staying Creative and Respectful
When using UGC in your game:
- Give credit if it’s asked for
- Don’t claim it as your own design
- Combine items to make something unique
- Use items as inspiration, not just copy-paste!
Roblox is a community, and being respectful of others’ creations keeps it fun for everyone.
Conclusion: Let the UGC Power Flow!
Importing UGC items into Roblox Studio opens a whole world of creativity. It’s like having a toolbox full of awesome toys—just waiting for your imagination to bring them to life. Whether you’re building a castle, a city, a fashion game, or anything in between, UGC can help you stand out.
So go ahead. Explore the catalog, grab some cool stuff, and make something amazing!
