Media specifications
Every image and video is checked in your browser when you choose it and again on upload. Files that do not match are refused with the reason, such as Must be exactly 16:9. Yours is 1280×800. A landscape cover is the only required file.

"Exactly" means within 1% of the ratio. Images over 40 megapixels cannot be read.
Landscape cover
The cover appears on game cards, the homepage, search results and the top of your game page.
- It is always shown whole at 16:9. We never crop it to a different shape.
- Your game's name or logo can be part of the image. We do not print the title over it.
- Keep text and faces away from the outer 5% so rounded corners do not touch them.
- Use real art from the game. Do not add fake badges, ratings, "free" labels or play buttons.
We make three sizes from it: 1280, 640 and 320 pixels wide.
Square icon
Used where a small square image fits better, such as lists and notifications. A logo or character on a plain background works best. We make 512 and 192 pixel versions.
Portrait cover
A 2:3 image for tall layouts. We make a 600 pixel wide version.
Screenshots
Up to five, each landscape (16:9) or portrait (9:16). They appear in a gallery on the game page. Show real gameplay from the version you upload. We make 1600 pixel versions.
Gameplay video
A short clip that plays, muted and looping, when a player hovers over your game card.
- 2 to 20 seconds long. Longer clips are refused, so trim the clip before you upload it.
- MP4 (H.264), WebM or MOV, up to 50MB.
- Sound is removed. The clip must make sense without it.
- We convert it to MP4 at up to 1280×720 and 30 frames per second, and take a still from the first second as the poster image shown before it plays.
- Show real gameplay. No trailers made only of logos or text, no footage from other games, and no flashing that could trigger seizures.
Video conversion can take up to a few minutes. If video processing is unavailable, the video field is hidden and you can upload without one.
What we do with your files
We convert every image to WebP at the sizes listed above and keep only those versions, not your originals. Media for a version cannot be changed after upload; upload a new version to change it. Media for versions that have not been approved is visible only to you and reviewers.
Rights
You must own or have permission to use everything in your media, including music in a video, fonts and characters. See Content rules.
