Steam workshop preview image size

[Hot Asian Cutie]

Hi :)
So far I have uploaded two CS:GO weapon skins to the steam workshop. Everytime I do the preview image is smaller and usually has a black space above and below it. All I'm looking for is what size does my preview image have to be to fit within the border? :)

Thanks man ^^ Sadly I don't make any workshop content anymore but thanks anyway :)

256x256 is the worst quality that could be naturally vouched for and completely zoomed in. You can tell these commenters like to pretend they are smart by copying the comment above them. After trying 1920x1080 the entire image is reserved instead of cropping parts of it. Makes sense because the preview adder shows you a rectangle and not a square. I hope 256x256 was working in the past and not anymore, but that's unlikely.

268x268 is the standard size, you can get bigger or smaller.
