You can upload your own images to use as Mascots.
Tip: Your mascot image file should either be in JPEG or PNG format and the filename should only contain letters and numbers (no special characters).
On the Customize page, go to the Mascots tab.
Click “+” to upload a new image from your computer. A preview of your mascot will appear when the upload is successful.
A preview of your mascot appears after a successful upload. Note that you can upload multiple image files and you can manage these images on the same page.
Here are the things you can do to customize the mascots you are using:
- Name your mascots . Enter the mascot name just below the image and press Enter to save.
- Activate/Deactiveate . If you no longer want your mascot to be an active choice for selection, click on the “Active” button to deactivate it. You can use the ‘Deactivate All’ button to easily deactivate all custom mascots you have uploaded. Once a mascot has been deactivated, it will not show as an option in the Mascots page before starting a game.
Users can opt to hide some of the standard Factile mascots so they don’t show as an option when selecting mascots before the game. Click on the button next to the category to activate/deactivate it. The button turns yellow when it gets deactivated.
