Steam Capsule Validator & Previewer
One master image → ZIP of Steamworks-sized PNGs, illustrative preview sheet, policy reminders, and a single-size inspector with safe-area overlays.
How it works
- Upload high-resolution PNG, JPG, or WebP key art.
- Download a ZIP of all required sizes, or open the Inspector tab for one preset with safe-zone overlays and reports.
- Use the preview sheet to sanity-check how header, row, library, and tile formats read at a glance.
Methodology
Exports use center-cropped cover scaling (like a unified resize pipeline). Safe margins are percentage-based per preset. Contrast compares average luminance between an edge band and central ROI; “busy” uses pixel variance as a coarse complexity signal. Policy bullets summarize common Steamworks expectations but are not legal advice — always read current partner rules.
One high-resolution key image is used to generate all Steamworks-oriented sizes (center crop, cover fill). Official dimensions are documented in Steam store assets.
Upload an image to begin.
FAQ
- Does this upload images to your servers?
- No. Images are processed with Canvas on your device and are not uploaded.
- Are these official Steam specifications?
- Presets follow Steamworks partner documentation dimensions (e.g. header, small, main, vertical, library hero, portrait). Always verify the latest store asset requirements before publishing.
- What is in the ZIP?
- PNG files at each preset resolution (center-cropped “cover” from your master), plus a README.txt with links and notes. Use the Inspector tab for safe-zone overlays and heuristics reports.
- Can I get a PDF report?
- From the Inspector tab, download HTML and use your browser Print dialog to save as PDF, or export JSON.
