Lichess Custom Pieces

Use custom pieces on Lichess, with Chrome extension Stylus

My Lichess setup with Chess.com pieces and styled with Prettier Lichess.

Instructions

  1. Install browser extension Stylus, or any other extension that can override a website's CSS.
  2. In the Stylus dashboard, create a new style and paste the following template into it
/* Black Pieces */

.is2d .black.pawn {
  background-image: url("");
}

.is2d .black.knight {
  background-image: url("");
}

.is2d .black.bishop {
  background-image: url("");
}

.is2d .black.rook {
  background-image: url("");
}

.is2d .black.queen {
  background-image: url("");
}

.is2d .black.king {
  background-image: url("");
}

/* White Pieces */

.is2d .white.pawn {
  background-image: url("");
}

.is2d .white.knight {
  background-image: url("");
}

.is2d .white.bishop {
  background-image: url("");
}

.is2d .white.rook {
  background-image: url("");
}

.is2d .white.queen {
  background-image: url("");
}

.is2d .white.king {
  background-image: url("");
}
  1. Convert all of your pieces to Base64 with an Image to Base64 Converter. Make sure to select Data URI -- data:content/type;base64 as Output Format. Here are the Chess.com pieces that I use.
  2. Insert the output into the background-image: url("data:image/png;base64, ... ") field for each piece.
  3. Save the newly created style and admire your pieces on Lichess.
