🖼 Images

Images are used all over Steam. They are used for avatars, achievements, leaderboards, and more.

This page contains important information when dealing with images.

Disposing Images

When you are done with an image, you can dispose of it by calling Dispose() on it. This will free up the memory used by the image. If you don't dispose of an image, you will get a memory leak!

Here is an example based on a leaderboard entry:

private SteamImage avatarImage;

public void SetEntry(SteamLeaderboardEntry entry)
{
    SteamManager.Friends.GetAvatar(entry.User.SteamID, AvatarSize.Large, (image, _, _, _) =>
    {
        avatarImage = image;
    });
}

private void OnDestroy()
{
    if (avatarImage.IsValid)
    {
        avatarImage.Dispose();
    }
}
