Roblox is currently experimenting with automated asset categorization, which may impact how your existing and future uploads are categorized. If the system misidentifies your Marketplace asset, report a bug.
To ensure a consistent and high-quality experience for all users, creators must categorize their uploads according to the definitions provided below. When uploading avatar assets, use the following guidelines to select your avatar asset category to the best of your ability. It's important to note that intentional miscategorization is against Marketplace policy.
