Asset OverviewMany of the major events on Steam, including regular curated promotions, feature specific sizes of artwork that are unique to those promotional spaces.
You can access the full photoshop templates and details here:
Promo Assets.zipMany of these assets you can create yourself with your own design teams. Please send them to Valve with at least a week lead time so we can give you feedback and for our localization team to have time. We always translate Steam banners into 26+ languages.
NOTE: These are requirements when sending assets:
- **All assets must be under 5MB**
- A layered Photoshop (PSD) files
- Main game/character art in highest resolution possible (smart object preferred). Doing so allows us to re-use these assets to create other Steam promotional art when necessary
- Logo (smart object preferred) separated from the art
- Any text should be editable in a separate “text” folder within the PSD document, so that it may be easily localized by our team.
- Any fonts used (especially custom fonts)
Animated Assets- For animated assets, please also provide a seamless looping MP4 and PNG sequence without the text and logo. Any text should not be animated so it may be easily localized by our team.
- Aim to have animations around 3 to 5 seconds in length. This helps keep final file size down for display on Steam. All final exported files must remain under 5MB.
- Try to make your animation slow, and not jarring to the eye. The animation should feel ambient.
- Aim to make a seamless loop with your animation. Please be aware that Steam is set to loop your animation regardless and this function cannot be turned off. A seamless loop is not required, but highly recommended for the best results visually.
- All animated Marketing Messages will be exported as Webm and MP4 files
- All text (other than game or developer logos) that expresses a message to users (e.g. “now available” or “just updated”) must remain editable so that it can be localized:
- Text cannot animate, and no effects can animate over top of text.
- Please do not flatten any text into the background or the animation.
- When exporting your PNG sequence, or MP4 file, be sure to turn off all text layers so that text is not flattened into the background.
- All essential information should fit within the green safe zone indicated in the template, as everything outside this area will get cut off on smaller screen sizes.
- WHAT TO SEND US
- Photoshop files set up with a video timeline containing your art, messaging, and animation PNG Sequence
- A folder containing your entire animation PNG sequence(s).
- If you cannot provide a PNG sequence, an MP4 file of the animation is also acceptable.
- Any unique fonts used, especially custom fonts.

Spotlight Banner
Usage: Spotlight banners appear near the top of the Steam Home page for specific promotions such as Midweek Madness or Weekend Deals.
Design: Spotlight Banners will automatically have a section rendered over the bottom with the text describing the type of promotion (eg. "Weekend Deal") and the end dates of the promo. The amount of the bottom of the image that may be covered can vary depending on volume of text and/or language. Please refrain from putting key elements in the bottom ¼ of the image. Otherwise, this banner should mostly just focus on your game art and logo
