How to verify a decal ID

Hello. I am making a gui that you put an ID into, and I want to know how to make sure that the ID is a decal.

You can use the MarketplaceService:GetProductInfo() to check if the asset is a decal, using AssetTypeId (a decal has the ID of 13, you can find the list of asset IDs here), make sure to wrap it in a pcall since if they enter an incorrect ID this will create an error

Thanks! Now the problem is, that the decal Id is not showing up because it isnt the image id. I don’t know how to get the decals image id.

So this question has indeed been asked many times. Roblox has yet to add a proper solution even though their engineers have the time to give a hotfix…

The best solution people have found is using this code snippet

"https://www.roblox.com/asset-thumbnail/image?assetId="..DecalID.."&width=420&height=420&format=png"

You would put use that snippet as such

local Decal = 1
Photo.Image = "https://www.roblox.com/asset-thumbnail/image?assetId="..Decal.."&width=420&height=420&format=png"

You sacrifice picture quality but it’s a lot better than the other method which is spamming GetProductInfo.

if tonumber(TextBox.Text) then
	local imageId = tonumber(TextBox.Text)
	ImageLabel.Image = "https://www.roblox.com/asset-thumbnail/image?assetId="..imageId.."&width=420&height=420&format=png"
end
