Where to get custom artwork for library thumbnail?
So, new library change game thumbnail. Unfortunately, some dev are too lazy to update their game thumbnail like Tales of zestiria, god eater res, god eater 2, etc. Is there any website to get all of these, or just google image one by one?

The changes are applied online, so I believe it should change in every PC. I wasn't able to test that, though.

Nope its local only.
The artwork file must be downloaded and stored locally on your pc and you must point the icon to the artwork location on your system.
It does not get uploaded to the cloud or anything.
So you have to manually do it for every pc/laptop you use.

Oh, this also makes sense, since that'd probably be another storage hassle for Steam, with millions of people uploading their custom art for this.

It's a bit of an inconvenience, but it's really not that bad. Thanks for clearing that up man.

This is an old post, but you CAN create a jpg file of your Steam artwork (library hero image in my case) and copy-paste it into the Steam screenshots folder. Completely exit Steam and relaunch it. Your artwork will now be in the screenshot folder in Steam and once clicked from the screenshot box, it will automatically upload. Then, you can browse for it when adding your Steam art to your library game. Now, it is synced in the cloud. The only drawback is that it MUST be a jpg file, which means a hero image MUST include the library logo (game's name graphics) over top of it because jpg has no transparency.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
