Steam: Bring Collections to Life with Animated PNGs
New Library, Profile Updates Enhance User Experience
Details and Instructions for Creating Custom Animated PNGs
Valve has unveiled significant updates to their Steam platform, including the introduction of animated PNGs within library collections and a refreshed profile layout. This innovative feature allows users to add a touch of liveliness to their digital collections, transforming static images into dynamic works of art.
The new Steam library beta is now available for download, featuring enhanced organizational tools and a cleaner interface. Additionally, Steam has launched an updated collection of textures and templates specifically designed for the new profile layout.
Animated PNGs are a clever extension of the existing PNG format, enabling images to be animated in a similar manner to GIFs. To create your own animated Steam artworks for free, follow these simple steps:
- Download and install the free GraphicsMagick software.
- Use GraphicsMagick to convert your PNG image into a MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics) file.
- Upload the MNG file to Steam as an animated PNG.
These enhancements not only enhance the visual appeal of Steam collections but also provide users with greater flexibility and personalization options. The introduction of animated PNGs paves the way for a more engaging and immersive experience within the Steam ecosystem.
