FAQ

Hello, I'm Killian Huntelaar, also known as killihu, creator and administrator of VSTskins.com. If you have any question that doesn't appear on this page, you can write me at: info@vstskins.com

Why this website?

Custom skins for VST plugins aren't the most popular thing in the audio industry, although they are for some of us. The problem is that there isn't a centralized site for them, unlike what happens with plugins and DAWs for which there are sites like KVR Audio.

I decided to create this website so that anyone can upload their skins or put links to the page where they upload their skins, so that it serves as a centralized place to search for skins. In addition to a place to preserve the skins uploaded here.

Is this free?

Yes, uploading skins or posting links to external sites is free.

How is this website funded?

This website is personally funded by me. No user data is collected or sold. There are no user accounts or tracking by Google or third parties. If you'd like to make a financial contribution to the project, please visit my website, killihu.com, where I sell music production software. You can make a donation through any of my free products.

Why the txt file in the zip?

Each skin downloaded from VSTskins.com comes in a compressed zip. Inside there is a text file "VSTskins_com.txt", so that anyone who receives the file, regardless of its origin, knows where to find more skins.

How long does it take for an uploaded skin to be published?

Each skin's page is created manually after the upload is received. Since this is not an automated task, and this is a project I maintain in my spare time, publishing can take several days, or even weeks.

Email address when uploading a skin

When uploading a skin, you'll be asked for an email address. Providing it is optional, but if you don't and there's an issue with the uploaded skin, I won't be able to contact you.

All upload data is sent to an email address and is not stored on the website.
