Steam Store Copy Checker

Checks the 300-character short description, previews About This Game BBCode the way Steam's dark store page shows it, and flags things Valve rejects — unsupported tags, external links and "Now Available"-style wording. Free, runs in your browser, nothing uploaded.

    About This Game

    Preview approximates Steam's store styling. Red highlights = tags Steam won't render.

    Supported store-page BBCode

    [h1] [h2] [h3] [b] [i] [u] [strike] [spoiler] [hr][/hr] [noparse] [list]/[olist] with [*] [quote=Author] [code] [table] [tr] [th] [td] [img]. [url] parses but Valve doesn't allow external links in store descriptions.

    Not supported (flagged): [color] [size] [left]/[center]/[right] [list=1] [email] [thread] [previewyoutube].

    FAQ

    How long can the Steam short description be? 300 characters in Steamworks, plain text only. Lead with the genre and the hook, not the release date.
    Can I put links in my store description? No external links — not even spelled out like "DOTA2 DOT COM". Add your website, Discord and socials in the Basic Info link fields in Steamworks.
    Why can't I write "Now Available" or "Pre-purchase now"? Store text stays up for years; Valve rejects time-based and sale messaging because it goes stale. Steam shows availability and discounts itself.
    How do I add GIFs or images? Upload them in the Steamworks description editor, which inserts them for you. Remember screenshots and GIFs share the store page size budget — see Steam Screenshot Batch Prep.
    Is my text saved or uploaded? Nothing leaves your browser. Drafts are kept in this browser's local storage so a refresh doesn't lose them.
    Official docs? See Valve's Steamworks store page description docs and Steam formatting help.
