What's inside

5 exact-size PNG templatesHeader 460×215, small 231×87, main 616×353, vertical 374×448, hero 3840×1240 — every template labeled with its dimensions, safe-area guides, and center marks.
What convertsThe 5 rules: one idea per capsule, contrast over detail, center-safe logo placement, showing YOUR game not the genre cliché, and the localization rule.
Text-legibility rulesMinimum logo sizes per capsule, the 3-meter test, stroke/shadow rules, and the 4.5:1 contrast requirement.
10 common rejectionsThe real reasons capsule art gets rejected in Steam review — pricing in art, review scores, misleading content, baked-in "demo" labels — and how to avoid each one.

Text-legibility rules (excerpt)

  1. No body copy, ever. Capsules are not posters. No taglines, no feature lists, no quotes.
  2. Logo minimum sizes (at 100% export): header ≥ 60px tall, small ≥ 32px, main ≥ 70px, vertical ≥ 48px.
  3. The 3-meter test: stand 3 meters from your monitor with the capsule at real size. If you can't read the logo instantly, it's too small.
  4. Stroke and shadow everything. A 2–3px dark stroke behind logo text is the difference between "readable on any background" and "vanishes on bright art."
  5. Contrast ratio ≥ 4.5:1 between logo text and the background directly behind it — don't trust your calibrated design monitor; your players are on cheap laptops.

The full kit adds the conversion rules, all 10 rejection reasons with fixes, a 10-point pre-upload checklist, and all 5 templates.

FAQ

Are these the real Steam dimensions?

Yes — header 460×215, small 231×87, main 616×353, vertical 374×448, hero 3840×1240. Each PNG is exactly that size; the template opens at 100% in Photoshop, GIMP, or Krita.

How do I use the templates?

Place the template PNG on top of your artwork at 40–60% opacity while composing, keep your logo and key text inside the red safe-area guides, align your focal point to the green center marks — then hide or delete the template layer before export.

Is this just templates, or is there real guidance?

Both. The GUIDE.md covers what converts (5 rules), text-legibility specs per capsule, the 10 most common Steam review rejection reasons with fixes, and a 10-point pre-upload checklist.
