What's the maximum file size for a custom game artwork in the library?
I have a file thats over 50MB and another thats over half a gig and when i go through the setting the file (PNG) / (APNG) as the custom art work nothing happens

When i set smaller files of the same file type to be the custom are they work just fine

That's for the profile artwork.

I think that OP is talking about custom artwork for games in the new Library.

Now I'm really curious why the heck does that artwork takes so much space.
What's on it? What's the resolution? How did you made it?

Yeah your response didnt help at all. Despite me saying the problem was with seemingly file sizes. You proceded to link to link me to image sizes, that was good knolage to know, but didnt actually help with the question at all.

i Then responded to you clarifying the issue and you didnt respond. So I created a second post containing the clarification.

That's a lot for only 4 seconds long gif.
Have you tried compressing it or something?

When I made my profile artwork, after I made it with Aftereffects I did something in Photoshop (can't remember exactly what. I just followed tutorial from YouTube)

Anyway, my 506x728 gif that's 4.5 seconds long takes less than 700KB
That's 100 times less than your gif.
