NutCracker guide

Browse, share, and open item previews

A NutCracker preview link opens a public page with the selected item’s name, image, and catalog context. Anyone with a browser can view it. The website does not apply files to a device.

Find the right catalog entry

Choose a hero to see its original skins, or open Preparations and select a category. Open the original you have to see its replacement options. Search filters narrow the visible cards without changing the links you can share.

Each replacement belongs to the original shown by its “For” label. A shared replacement link opens that preview directly, with a link back to its original and other options. Official, Custom, and Anime classify skin replacements. An original can remain selectable when its own archive is unavailable but replacements are listed.

Share the item page

Use Share on a catalog card or Copy link on a preview. Send that link through your preferred messaging app. It points to the item preview, so the recipient can check the name and image before opening NutCracker.

If the item has left the current catalog, an older link may show an unavailable notice. A replacement is shown only when one has been provided; otherwise return to the catalog to choose a current entry.

Open the selection in the Android app

On a supported Android browser, tap Open in NutCracker. If the app is not installed, use Get the Android app to visit its Google Play listing. After installation, return to the same preview and open it again.

If a link stays in the browser, make sure NutCracker is installed and up to date. Check the app’s Open by default / supported links setting in Android; the setting name varies by device. You can also search for the displayed item name inside NutCracker.

Understand preview-only availability

Some preparation items have preview metadata but no archive available to apply. They are labeled Preview only and remain visible so you can identify or share them.

Opening a preview does not start an installation. Review the app’s available options and access status before continuing.
