Steam Library Hero Size (3840×1240): Rules & Free Template

Steam Library Hero Size & Template

The Steam library hero is 3840 × 1240 pixels. The library hero is the wide banner at the top of your game's page in the Steam library. Your library logo is placed on top of it, so the hero itself contains no text.

Valve's rules for the library hero

It can't contain any text. Your title comes from the separate Library Logo, which Steam layers on top.
Let the artwork cover the whole 3840 × 1240 canvas.
Keep critical content inside the 860 × 380 safe area at the center. That area stays uncropped when the Steam window is resized; everything outside it can be cut off.
Library assets only show once your store page is published.

Design tips

Put faces and key objects in the center safe area. A character's face at the edge will get cropped on smaller windows.
Leave calm space where your logo will go (bottom left or centered), so the logo stays readable.
Use your widest environment art. Stretching a header capsule this wide looks soft and empty.
