How to put animated GIF file on steam profile

[Monster]

I'v seen it before, but don't remember who had animated gif on his profile. I'm sure you have to use your Showcase for it. I've level 20 steam level, so have 2 showcase. Which one should I use? Custom info? Then how to put animated gif on there?

• Create a.gif.
  
  
• Choose whether you want it to be associated with a certain game or simply a non-game Steam Community "artwork" piece.
  
  
• To do this either go to Artwork from your profile or a specific games artwork section from the community hub.
  
  
• Select "Upload Your Artwork".
  
  
• Select it's community visibility (i.e Public, friends only, private.)
  
  
• Once finished upload the .gif to the Steam community.
  
  
• Once completed go back into profile edit and select which .gif you'd like represented on your profile by selecting the Artwork Showcase as your profile customization choice.

Have a nice day.

I wonder on 1 thing. Steam's profile width is fixed or depends on viewer's monitor size? How much width is fit on that Artwork showcase?

What a helpful post, they should hire you for Steam support.

You could do it for a non-Steam game? That's good to know.

The viewer's monitor size doesn't matter. The showcase's display seems to be 506 pixels across.

These are the artwork file selections available below.
Acceptable formats are JPG, PNG, and GIF.
File size cannot exceed 10 MB.

So with that being said the maximum width would really depend on what you are trying to upload (How long, data size etc) and also the maximum size available within the window. To completely fill the borders, a resolution size of the video should not exceed 900x400. This resolution will alllow for ample amount of data usage (Playback time) and also give you an image that completely fills the Artwork Showcase area.

Absolutely! Just make sure the contents of the .gif are within the stated boundaries (Read the disclaimer) before you upload.

Will it only show the .gif on profile, or does it also work in-game?

you can only upload gifs as artwork, and there is not a single ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game that uses steam artwork ingame.

Animated gif as avatar/profile picture in Steamworks games is not supported on Steam. Better that way, is nothing else as a bandwith killer anyways.
There is enough animated trash in artwork sections already, we don't need litter even avatars with that.

Hello, I only have level three Steam account and followed your instructions about uploading Artwork etc. What is wrong why I can't showcase it on my profile?
