How to upload an animated GIF to the Steam Featured Artwork showcase
The Featured Artwork showcase shows one large picture. It is the easiest way to put an animated GIF on your profile — as long as the file has the right width and fits the Steam limits.
Step by step
- Create the file
In Showcase Maker add your image, GIF or video and choose “One large artwork”. The result is featured_630: 630 px wide, animation kept, under 5 MB.
- Open the Steam upload page
Log in to Steam in your browser and open the artwork upload page from the Steam tab of Showcase Maker.
- Paste the console code
Press F12 → Console, paste the code for Featured from the Steam tab and press Enter.
- Upload featured_630
Choose featured_630.gif (or .png), give it a title and upload it.
- Select it in your profile
Open Edit Profile → Featured Showcase, choose “Featured Artwork Showcase” and pick the uploaded artwork.
Common questions
My GIF does not move on the profile
Steam shows a still preview for files that are too large. Keep the file under 5 MB — Showcase Maker does this automatically.
Can I use a video?
Yes. MP4 and WebM are converted to a looping GIF; the Loop tool can make the ending seamless.
