Detailed Breakdown

Header Capsule (Required)

460 × 215 px

Your most important capsule. Appears at the top of your store page, in search results, and in many lists. Must include your game's readable title or logo.

Small Capsule (Required)

231 × 87 px

Used in wishlists, user libraries, and compact list views. Design for legibility at small sizes — avoid fine details.

Main Capsule (Required)

616 × 353 px

Featured in Discovery Queue, sale pages, and larger display areas. This is often the first impression players have of your game.

Hero Capsule

374 × 448 px

Vertical format used in some store features. Good for showcasing characters or vertical compositions.

Library Capsule

600 × 900 px

Vertical image shown in the Steam library. Consider this your "box art" — make it striking.

Design Requirements

Must Have

Must NOT Have

Common rejection: Capsule images without a readable game title. Even if your logo is stylized, players need to read your game's name.

Design Best Practices

Design for small: Your capsule will often display at tiny sizes. If text isn't readable at 231×87, simplify it.
