Uploading an external screenshot to Steam.

[Mr.Dream101]

I have a screenshot I didn't take using Steam because I didn't know I had to do it that way for it to be uploaded... I use a Mac, is there any way to get my screenshot onto Steam and post it?

Upload it as Artwork.

uploading as screenshot isn't how you upload external screenshots. it's hard to convey the proper solution in words but i'll try:

before you do any of this, be sure to make copies of the screenshots you will be tampering with.

step 1: in the steam screenshot manager, there is a file icon in the top right. click it and it'll open the screenshot location in your file explorer.

step 2: take the screenshot you want to upload to steam and make sure it's a jpg file.

step 3: find a screenshot in the folder, preferably one you don't care about.

step 4: replace the name of the external screenshot with the steam screenshot.

step 5: move the screenshot you're replacing with the external screenshot into the recycle bin.

step 6: once the original steam screenshot is gone, the external screenshot is a jpg file, and the external screenshot is the same name as the original screenshot, move the external screenshot to the steam screenshot folder.

step 7: go to the "thumbnails" folder inside the screenshot folder.

step 8: find the corresponding thumbnail image of the original screenshot and move it to the recycle bin.

step 9: exit steam. to do this, go to the top right corner in the steam client and click where it says "steam" then click "exit."

step 10: go to the steam screenshot manager and find the original screenshot you replaced with the external screenshot. if that doesn't work, repeat step 9 several times and make sure you followed the steps correctly.
