Steam doesn't let me upload a 6MB gif

[yoko]

I'm trying to upload a 6mb gif but steam says "You can only upload files less than 8 MB in file size". Tried with 5mb and the same message appears...

Any ideas how to solve this?

Edit: It's official. Steam only allows file sizes that are less than 5MB.

Valve pls fix.
I've been waiting for weeks.

In the meantime, I made a site that checks whether or not Steam has reverted it back to the 8MB limit:
https://steam-upload-limit-checker.netlify.app/

Behind the scenes, it opens up the upload page and reads the upload limit from the SubmitItem function that ᴿᴸᴰᵀᴴᴵᴬᴳᴼ found.

LOL! Mark this comment as the solution (if only it wasn't stuck in content check hell). Brilliant.

Could you just please try to make a simple web feed to be notified more easily? Checking this page would become highly impractical over time, but it definitely helps figuring out when this issue is resolved by Valve, assuming it ever will be. Perhaps they'll introduce new formats? Who knows.

Steam should hire people like you.

ya don't. Valve is a haystack in a pile of needles, especially their web dudes, zero communication and they regularly undo each others work, even while sitting next to each other. its disgusting.

Why not just adapt the artwork to showcase the workshop?

As in my profile, for example

because it doesnt load right if your internet isnt good and its more time consuming

I guess Valve find the solution they just change the warning message from "you can only upload files less than 8mb steam" to → "you can only upload files less than 5mb steam" And the problem fixed.

It looks very bad in my opinion. The quality is good but it never loads well for me. It's also a problem to combine it with the background because it has a big ugly showcase header.

Sure dude. Here is an RSS web feed. It should (hopefully) update every 24 hours. I could make it update only when the size limit changes, but I'm paranoid that the server will randomly kill itself and I'll have no way of knowing. So I guess it doubles as an uptime checker for me.

Why not steam add webp support, its much better

same quality as gif for a very low file size
