Frequently Asked Questions
What size is a Steam profile avatar?
Steam avatars display at 184x184 pixels at full size, 64x64 in medium contexts (friends list), and 32x32 as the smallest version. Upload a 184x184 image for the best quality across all sizes.
Can I use an animated GIF as my Steam avatar?
Animated profile frames are available through the Steam Points Shop, but regular animated GIF avatars are not supported through the standard avatar upload. The uploaded image must be a static image.
Why does my Steam avatar look blurry?
If your source image is smaller than 184x184 pixels, Steam will stretch it, causing blurriness. Always upload an image that is at least 184x184 pixels. Our resizer ensures your image meets this requirement.
How do I change my Steam profile picture?
Go to your Steam profile > Edit Profile > Avatar. You can upload a custom image or choose from the Steam avatar gallery. The image must be square and will be automatically cropped if it isn't.
