Use background cropper: how it works
The Background Cropper is a free and easy-to-use tool for your Steam profile. Since you have multiple areas on Steam where you can upload a background image, it's hard to relate these photos together. The background cropper helps.
- Go to the Background Cropper page. It looks like a typical Steam profile.
- Under the profile name "SloWolfe" there is a text field in which you can insert the URL of the desired image.
- Paste the URL and click on "Change BG".
- If the image you want is on your hard drive and not online, use free tools such as Imgur to upload the photo and create a URL to the image you want.
- Once the background image has been added to the background cropper, you have several options for personalization:
- Click "Customize Cropping" to see options that allow changes to adapt to your profile.
- You can also move the bottom border, depending on how big the middle picture should be.
- As soon as you are satisfied with the appearance of the profile, you can click on "Download Images" to download a .zip archive with the graphics that have been cut.
- You can now apply the cropped images in the profile settings of your Steam account. However, level 10 or higher is required for this.
