Hey everyone,

I wanted a quick way to generate custom grid art for non-Steam games and emulators without opening Photoshop every time, so I built a free web tool called PocketGrid Studio.

Features:

• Instant Reflow: Switches your artwork across Vertical Capsules (600x900), Hero Banners (1920x620), Wide Grids (920x430), and Retro Squares (600x600).
• 100% Client-Side: Everything renders locally in your browser (no logins, no image uploads to external servers).
• Custom Fonts & Badges: Overlay title text with contrast gradient masks and status pills (OLED Ready, Verified, Modded).

Try it here: https://pocket-grid-forge.lovable.app

Hope it helps keep your libraries looking clean! Let me know if you run into any bugs or have feature requests.

And yes i used ai to make it but its actually pretty useful

i feel like there are so few good looking steam grids that give such a feeling so i wanted to share one of the bests that i found and to see if anyone can share more

with the console name at the top and some color, because a lot of the games I plan to add don't have these types of borders.

does something similar for wide covers exist? that can universally span all games, with the same style of border.

Hi, I have a question about SteamGridDB Original Steam Assets.

Normally, when I go to SteamGridDB's enter in a game page and go to the "View Original Steam Assets" section, I usually see the original artwork that the game is currently using.

When the game updates and changes the artwork on Steam, this section is also updated shortly after to reflect the game's new Steam art and this is how I have always seen it working.

However, I don't know why, in the case of Predecessor, here its page https://www.steamgriddb.com/game/32184, this official art section has stopped updating in the last year or so (around October 2025).

I used to save the official Steam art from this game, save it locally for myself and also upload it to SteamGridDB so the art that is being updated with each patch doesn't get lost, but now I can't do that as it doesn't

Someone know if the devs of the game have to do something to fix this? Or if I can do something or report it somewhere so the current art synchronizes correctly with the one the game is currently using?

Any help is appreciated

This comment is well under 1000 characters but for some reason wont let me post it, anyone know why??

Additionally, would anyone be able to make this in an acii art that would work?

a guy commented on my steam profile complaining bout how I kill friendly players in arc raiders, so I was going to post this to my own profile right above their comment xD

Here is the text I was trying to post:

OH... THE TEARS OF UNFATHOMABLE SADNESS...YUMMY! YUMMY!

I'm the only the Web page don't load ?

Modified a couple of existing templates to create a Grid template that looks more like an actual DS cartridge.

Template: https://www.steamgriddb.com/grid/813600

Pieces used: https://www.steamgriddb.com/grid/212897 & https://www.steamgriddb.com/grid/525951

I need a background for Manhunt 2. I can't find any good backgrounds that fit onto the game. Thank you.

Hello! Almost all of my covers are from PsyDek, I really love the minimalist look of them. However, I cannot find any for Persona 5 Royale and Forza Horizon 6, games that I play often on the Deck right now. If there's a template somewhere, I could try to do both of them. Otherwise, if anyone is able to create those, thanks a plenty!

Hi everyone, first time poster

I am trying to change the game icon of BF6 in my library; usually SteamGridDB works just fine for 99% of games, but sometimes, like in this case with BF6, i am able to change everything but the icon. Any solution?

For BF6: I tried heading over to "Steam\appcache\librarycache\2807960" (which is the SteamID of BF6) and i've actually found both the icon that the game uses and the personalized icon that i tried to set with SteamGridDB's Boop; even deleting the og icon doesn't do anything 'cause at the next restart, Steam will simply re-create it

ty all in advance

Edit: for anyone seeing this post in the future, here's how i solved

I simply renamed the image, that i wanted as an icon, with the name of the official image that steam uses, and then deleted the original. This way steam detects that there's still a file with that name in the directory

I use Steam as my main launcher, so I end up adding a bunch of non-Steam stuff to it: emulators, Game Pass games, Epic games, random shortcuts, that kind of thing.

The annoying part is the artwork. Half my library was just grey boxes or weird missing banners, and fixing it manually one game at a time got old really fast.

So I made a small Windows app called ArtDeck. It looks at the games already in your Steam library, pulls artwork options from SteamGridDB, and lets you apply covers, banners, heroes and logos without digging through folders yourself.

It doesn’t add games or mess with your shortcuts. It just puts the images where Steam expects custom artwork to be.

Link: https://github.com/shamilmusaev/ArtDeck/releases

You need a free SteamGridDB API key, since that’s where the artwork comes from.

I mostly built it because my own library looked ugly, but maybe it’s useful to someone else too.

I request a few games but it's been months and none of them have been approved yet. When I first started making grids about a year or two it never took them that long approve games. Why is that now?

As the title states I am looking for 3D VHS steam grids to replace my library. For reference these are two users I found using this style: Zanzik & Fluffy. Any help finding users with grids matching these styles would be great!

I created images for our game's Steam library, primarily for the Steam Deck, but also compatible with the desktop version of Steam.

Any reason why none of the image are loading and i can't download anythings from the site

I've been seeing these all over steamgriddb (especially with retro games). I found the link to the square versions pretty easily, but I can't seem to find these rectangular versions. Would love to make my own grids using these. any help would be much appreciated!

Does anybody know a template for this thing in material style (example: https://www.steamgriddb.com/grid/775604 and https://www.steamgriddb.com/grid/775605)
