If I change my custom avatar, will it remain in Steam?
If I swap my custom avatar (profile picture), which is currently a drawn TF2 sniper, for a new custom avatar, will I be able to swap it back from any other device? Like, will it save in the "cloud" or wharever? I lost original picture and would like to be able to switch back just in case.

If not, is there any way to download original file of current picture back on PC to save for good?

No, once you replace it, it's gone, if you want to store your image, use an online storage, or image hosting site, or upload as Steam artwork on your profile.

Also just open your profile on broswer, right click on your image, and click save, or something, then upload it somewhere as I said before.

Thank you. Will use the sniper one then. I don't want to loose that one completely.

Do save the big one from your profile page, not one of the smaller ones here.
