How to Make an Animated Steam Avatar
Actually, you can get pretty creative outside the official channels. Some folks use GIFs as profile pictures on Steam, though it's a bit of a workaround. You'd need to find or make your GIF, then use a third-party site to convert it to a Steam-compatible format. Just keep it appropriate and remember that official animated avatars from the Point Shop are the only ones fully supported by Steam.

Making an animated Steam avatar is pretty straightforward but remember, Steam officially supports it for Steam Point Shop items only. So, first step: accumulate those Steam Points by purchasing games or making in-game purchases. Once you've got enough, head over to the Point Shop, look for animated avatars or frames, and snag one that tickles your fancy. After purchasing, just go to your profile settings to equip your new animated glory!
Just buy one from the Point Shop, mate. Easiest way to not mess things up.
