Can't Upload GIFs?

[Wavekid]

Hello,
I've been uploading artwork for games for a while now, and I wanted to try uploading a GIF for a game. I've been trying to upload this GIF for the past few days now, but it only takes me to a black screen once I publish the GIF. I made sure to check the file did not exceed the limit, it is well under the 10MB.

I click publish, it loads forever, takes me to a black screen, doesn't upload.

Why am I not able to upload GIFs?

Thanks.

i think Steam only lets you upload png and jpg. So, i do not think a gif is an acceptable file type.

GIF is an acceptable file type. I see GIFS uploaded all the time, from strangers in the community hubs to my friends. I also know it's compatible because when I choose the file, it displays properly before I try to publish it.

Ahh, perhaps.. i never tried to upload fanart or whatever to Steam.

i just know when you upload a Steam avatar if you try a gif it says "Image must be a .JPG or .PNG", so i assumed that was the case everywhere on Steam.

If you upload as artwork (tab next to screenshots), either for a specific game or "Not Game Specific", you can upload a gif.

JUST FOUND THE SOLUTION :))
google ''reducing gif size'' then u see different website videos etc like this one http://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/10-ways-to-optimize-an-animated-gif-file--psd-34649 dont have a mac so yeah there are better/faster ways to put it in the first one is this website http://gifmaker.me/optimizer/ i clicked on 32 colours and it looks really bad and a little bit complicated too like here {LINK ENTFERNT} so just go to this website http://ezgif.com/optimize upload your gif and choose ''lossy gif level 140 (heavy)'' or what u think is the best & you see a comparison under it and then just save your gif finish check it out on my profil with deadpool worked well ;D
