Steam capsule image
Short answerCapsules are the store art Steam shows in lists, search, the front page and the library, each at a fixed pixel size (for example the 462x174 small capsule and the 920x430 header capsule).
Why it matters
The small capsule is what most players see first; text that is unreadable at that size costs clicks.
Our number
Our capsule resizer cuts one artwork into every required size in the browser.
