Pes 2013 Kit Creator |verified| Guide
Since PES 2013 did not have a fully-fledged "Create-A-Team" mode like FIFA, this review focuses on the third-party PC utility that became essential for the modding community, often simply called the PES 2013 Kit Creator / Reload.

Review: PES 2013 Kit Creator
Overview
Released during the golden age of PES modding (2012–2013), the PES 2013 Kit Creator is a third-party utility designed to let players design, edit, and import custom kits into Konami’s Pro Evolution Soccer 2013. Unlike the basic in-game editor, this tool gives you full control over textures, layers, sponsors, and kit templates—essentially turning your PC into a kit design studio.
Cons
- Outdated UI – The interface looks like a Windows XP-era tool. Rescaling windows can feel clunky on modern high-DPI screens.
- Limited to PES 2013 – Unlike later tools (e.g., Kit Studio for PES 2017+), this creator doesn’t work for PES 2014 or newer.
- No automatic collision detection – If you overlap layers incorrectly, the 3D preview might look fine, but in-game textures can glitch (e.g., logos appearing on sleeves where they shouldn’t).
- Requires external software for import – After creating the kit, you still need Kitserver or GGS to actually put it into the game. Newcomers sometimes get stuck at this step.
- No vector support – You must import logos as raster images (PNG/BMP). Rescaling a low-res sponsor logo will pixelate.
3. Kit Dimensions & Templates
PES 2013 uses specific texture mapping. If your dimensions are wrong, the kit will look stretched in-game. Pes 2013 Kit Creator
| Kit Type | Texture Dimensions (Standard) | File Type | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Home / Away Kit | 1024 x 1024 pixels (High Res) | PNG (Indexed Color) | | Goalkeeper Kit | 1024 x 1024 pixels | PNG (Indexed Color) | | Shorts / Socks | Mapped onto the main texture sheet | PNG | | Collar Types | Varies (Requires Alpha Channel) | PNG |
Pro Tip: Always use the 1024x1024 template for HD quality. The older 512x512 resolution is obsolete for modern patches.
Phase B: Importing the Kit (The Technical Part)
There are two ways to do this: the "Classic" way (replacing default kits) and the "Modded" way (adding new slots). Since PES 2013 did not have a fully-fledged
Method 1: Using Game Graphic Studio (Classic)
- Open
Game Graphic Studio. - Navigate to your PES 2013 install folder and open
dt0c.img. - Look for the kit bins (they are usually numbered). You may need a map to know which bin corresponds to which team (e.g., bin 5 might be Arsenal).
- Right-click the specific
.binfile and select "Import." - Select your saved BMP/PNG image.
- Save the
.imgfile.
Method 2: Using a Patch/Option File (Recommended) Most players today use tools like the PES 2013 Editor by Jenkey.
- Open the Editor.
- Go to the "Edit Kit" section.
- You can import texture files directly into the memory of an Option File.
- This allows you to assign the kit to a team without manually replacing files in the game's root directory.
Final Verdict
Score: 7.5/10
Recommended for PES 2013 players who want custom kits without learning Photoshop. What you need:
The PES 2013 Kit Creator is an excellent example of community-driven modding. It lowers the barrier to entry dramatically, letting casual players create Bundesliga, Championship, or fantasy league kits in minutes. However, the clunky interface and dependency on separate import tools prevent it from being truly seamless. If you’re still playing PES 2013 in 2024 (and many do for its gameplay), this tool is almost essential—just be prepared to watch a 5-minute YouTube tutorial on Kitserver first.
Where to get it – Look for version 2.0+ on Evo-Web forums or PES-Patch.com. Avoid suspicious “auto-installer” sites; the tool is a single portable .exe.
Here’s a comprehensive overview of the PES 2013 Kit Creator, a popular tool for editing and creating custom kits in Pro Evolution Soccer 2013.
What you need:
- Kit Studio 13 by jenkey1002 (Download from Evo-Web or PES-Patch forums).
- Photoshop or GIMP (free).
- Kit Templates (UV maps of the PES 2013 player model).
Part 2: Why PES 2013? The Longevity Factor
You might ask: Why not focus on eFootball or FIFA/EA FC?
The answer is modular freedom. Modern soccer games lock kits behind live service paywalls or limit editor slots. PES 2013, however, has no online server requirements for editing. You have absolute ownership.
- No Microtransactions: Design 500 kits for free.
- CPU Friendly: Runs on a decade-old laptop, perfect for low-spec modding.
- The "Retro" Appeal: Many players are creating 90s and 2000s patch archives, and a dedicated kit creator is essential for historical accuracy.
