This guide contains the best and easiest way to upload custom screenshots. You can also upload file types you're usually unable to such as animated GIFs and PNGs.

This guide uses the animated screenshot method but under a new title so it's easier to find for people who are just looking to upload custom screenshots. Credit for this method goes to Cy.

To upload your custom screenshot to your profile:

• Open this link in a browser: http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/edititem/767/3/

To upload your custom screenshot to a game's hub:

• Simply go to the the game's community hub and open up it's artwork uploading page.

Once you're on the artwork uploading page, right click anywhere, select "Inspect Elements", and navigate to the "Console" tab. You can also access the console by using these shortcuts instead:

• Chrome shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + J
  
• Firefox Shortcut: Ctrl + Shift + K

Copy the code below, paste it in the console, and send it by pressing enter:

$J('[name="file_type"]').val("5");

If you're going to showcase your custom screenshot on your profile but it's longer than 506 pixels, use the code below instead. This will prevent your screenshot from being resized when showcased.

$J('#image_width').val('1000'); $J('#image_height').val('1'); $J('[name="file_type"]').val("5");

Once the console code is sent, close the console and fill out the uploading page normally. Once it's filled out, hit "Save and Continue". The code you sent in step 3 will automatically change your artwork to a screenshot when uploaded. Congrats, you've uploaded a custom screenshot!
