FAQ

What is this tool for?

This tool was created for Steam game developers who want to get reference from other games to create better Steam assets.

Viewing other games' assets is awkward through the store interface, but this tool lets you view them easily in one place.

Content creators may also find this tool useful for creating thumbnails and custom branded graphic elements.

Please make sure that you respect the relevant copyright and trademark laws.

How do I use it?

Simply use the search bar. You can also paste in the store page URL, or the Steam app ID.

What's the best way to share assets?

You can share the assets with someone simply by sending them Steampoacher URL for that game.

This is often more convenient than saving the images and copying them around the place.

Can I have this as an app on my phone?

Of course! Steampoacher() works as a fully-fledged web app.

For example, on iPhone, click the Share button and then click "Add to Home Screen"

Does this tool support the new "Larger Store Graphical Assets" required by Steam?

It does now! The page will always try to load the larger image first, and fall back to the smaller image if it's not available.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, they're basically 2x sized images. Steam started requiring them for new titles from November 2024 forwards. See this announcement for more details.

I find this tool helpful, can I help?

This tool is free, but server time and dev costs are not - you can help by donating by buying me a ko-fi
