Steam.Design - Create Background Showcases

Automatically crop your desired background to be showcased as an artwork, screenshot, avatar, or workshop.

⠀Steam.Design is an online tool that allows you to automatically crop parts of any profile⠀      
⠀background for the purposes of using in your art, screenshot and workshop showcases.

The first step is deciding on a background you want to use. Since the background will be cropped near the center, it's ideal to find a background that has imagery in the center. If you're having trouble finding a background you want to use, you can visit this large collection of popular backgrounds, or search for one using Steam Tool's {Ο ΣΥΝΔΕΣΜΟΣ ΑΦΑΙΡΕΘΗΚΕ}background gallery.

Copy your background's direct URL. This can be found by clicking the "View Full Size" button in your inventory or the background's market page. Once it's copied, visit Steam.Design and paste it in the area provided. Click "Change Background" and your background will be cropped.



If you want to simplify this process and instantly crop the backgrounds in your inventory, you can sign into your Steam account using the button in the top right corner of Steam.Design. Once you're logged in, Steam.Design will display all of the backgrounds you own above the virtual profile and clicking one will automatically crop it.

If you want to crop for more showcases than just artwork, simply click the "Customize Cropping" button. This will open a menu of customization options. They're pretty self-explanatory.



Once your desired showcases are selected, you can simply drag the bottom of each showcase to crop your desired length.

When you're ready to use the cropped parts of your background, click the shiny "Download Images" button. This will download all of the cropped areas of your background as a ZIP file. Unzip this file wherever you want. If you want to add your own text or art to these cropped areas of your background before you upload them, now is the time.

When you're ready to upload and showcase your images on Steam, follow these short guides:

• Uploading Artwork
  
• Uploading Screenshots
  
• Uploading Workshops

Once your artwork is uploaded and showcased, rate or comment on it. This will correct the alignment.

Steam.Design has a Chrome extension. {Ο ΣΥΝΔΕΣΜΟΣ ΑΦΑΙΡΕΘΗΚΕ}Download it here.

How is this "exploiting" steam's code? There is no code, it's literally just cropping the images from backgrounds. If Steam didn't intend for you to view the full size of a background and view the artwork on its own, there would be no such option to do so. Code isn't involved.

Besides, this guide has existed since 2014, so...

I really doubt this will stay implemented. It's really just exploiting steam's code. If this was allowed in steam by default, steam would have created it under edit profile and artwork showcase. On some steam updates in the future it won't work.
