In the Animal Crossing games, you've always been allowed to design your own clothes, signs, carpets, and posters.

In the 3DS game Animal Crossing: New Leaf, however, there's even an option for those of us without any artistic talent.

With the new QR code reader, found in The Able Sisters shop, you can immediately import textures and textiles from other, more talented villagers.

The creator of iOS app QR MyDesign Assistant has borrowed this handy new feature to help you turn any photograph or image into an Animal Crossing-compatible code. Here's how to use it in a few easy steps.

Hat tip to Tiny Cartridge for finding the app.

Download the free iPhone app QR MyDesign Assistant. You can get it on the App Store here. It isn't made for the iPad, but it still works as intended on a tablet.

Choose the 'Convert' tab at the bottom of the screen, then hit the 'Pick' button in the top-right corner.You can choose 'MyDesign' to make a floor, sign, or item of clothing. Or you can choose 'Board' to make a custom face cutout standee.

Choose a picture from your iOS photo library. Simple and clear images with not many colours work best. You can then crop the image to import just a specific part of the picture.

Here's what it will look like in the game. You can give it a name, and then hit 'to QR' to see your code.Get the code up on the screen of your phone, and then dig out your 3DS.

Load up Animal Crossing: New Leaf, head to Main Street, and enter the Able Sisters clothes shop.Now, to gain access to the QR code reader (a.k.a. the sewing machine), you'll need to have befriended Sable. This means talking to her every day for about a week or two (to finally coax her out of her shyness).Once Sable becomes your pal, you'll see a big old machine in the back of the room (like in the screenshot above).

Done that? Okay, cool. Use the machine and choose 'Read a QR Code'. You'll also need to choose a spot in your texture library to save the custom design.Then, point the 3DS camera at your phone, and line the QR code up with the frame.

And you're done. You'll now have your photo in your design library, and can use it wherever you want.Here, I've stuck a photo of Mario on my town flag. Because why the bloody hell not.

Convert images into ACNH QR codes and designs easily with this guide

If you aren't surrounded by people in your life that are playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons, then you need a new social circle. Just, a whole new one entirely, those fools are just not working out for you. Ditch the clowns, and get yourself someone who respects animals.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons is the hot new thing right now, and everyone is adoring the ability to create their own designs and totally customise their entire town. Lovely, right? One of the best things about it is that those of you with little talent can download shared designs online, and even scan QR codes from previous games, Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Happy Home Designer.

You can't actually create QR codes in New Horizons, but we have a way to get around that. Using an online tool, this guide will teach you how to create your own custom QR codes to share with Animal Crossing: New Horizons players, and not only that, we'll show you how to convert normal images into Animal Crossing QR codes - mind, the low-resolution and colour palette of Animal Crossing designs may render your ideal images into something less-than intelligible.

With that limitation in mind, read on for everything you need to know about creating and sharing your own QR codes for Animal Crossing: New Horizons players - and if for some reason you're still on New Leaf or Happy Home Designer, yes, these will work for you too!

If you need to know how to scan QR codes into Animal Crossing: New Horizons, be sure to read our full instructions on how to do so right here!

Online creation

This guide will entirely use the AC Patterns online editor, which you can find right here. This pattern editor works just like the one you will recognise from Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and you can create designs in basically the same way, with a few new features. Luckily it works on both mobile and desktop, though desktop users might have a better overall experience.

To create a design using this tool, the first thing you'll want to do is open the colour editor in the top right, and then customise your colour palette at the top. You can only use a limited number of colours, so be mindful of that.

Once that is done, it's a simple case of filling in the grid with colours to create your design. You can edit the metadata of the design, like the title, author name, and home island, and the pattern type (the 'Standee' type is not compatible with New Horizons) using the 'change' button on the left - but beware, using naughty words in these fields may make your design incompatible with New Horizons.

I haven’t quit playing the game completely, and I guess, to Nintendo, that means that they’re doing something right. Pocket Camp has stopped being relaxing and has become something to just replace the Animal Crossing-shaped hole in my heart until New Horizons releases. Animal crossing pocket camp pc.

Once you're happy with your design, you can press the 'Generate QR Code' button in the bottom right, which will give you a QR code on an image that you can then download and share.

Image conversion

Now here's where the fun begins. You can use the 'Convert' button on the right side of the screen to upload an image, which will then be converted into an Animal Crossing-friendly design. Now, this means images will lose a lot of fidelity, so you should be cautious.

The editor is also not perfect, meaning you should make manual adjustments to the exact design you want.

But when the image is smoothed-over using the filter that New Horizons puts on design, the end result can be quite striking. Or it can blur into a mess. One of the two.

It took me several tries before I found an image of Toon Link which didn't get smeared into a mess, but keep in mind that in-game you'll often be looking at these pictures at a much lower resolution, which makes them a bit more passable.

Interior of your dreams

Of course, you can place these designs absolutely anywhere. Inside your house, on your floor, as wallpaper, as paintings, as clothing, as flooring outside, anywhere. You can make your island look as if it's being run by an absolute psychopath, and that's okay.

But personally? I'm in it for the memes. To be honest, most of the designs I've imported into the game are a bit too rude to be posted here. But I've got one to share with you, just to get your imagination sparking.

I said the resolution was too low to show anything with detail, but you can absolutely crop images into several pieces, making each piece a design, and then display those in your town, on the floor as people enter, on your walls, wherever. Just make an impact, and have fun!
