Dota 2 Images

Every picture of the Dota 2 interface: hero portraits in every style, ability and item icons, every cosmetic's inventory icon, loading screens, emoticons, sprays, event and battle pass art, interface icons. 47,394 files, 16.6 GB, as the game keeps them: the PNG or JPEG inside each texture taken out byte for byte, the others decoded to PNG, vector icons as SVG.

Everything is under panorama/images/, at the game's paths. A texture <name>.vtex_c in the game is <name>.png here, or <name>.jpg when its name ends in _jpg.

Path	What
heroes/npc_dota_hero_<hero>_png.png	Hero portraits (also selection/ tall ones, icons/ small ones, and every alternate look)
spellicons/<ability>_png.png	Ability icons
items/<item>_png.png	Shop item icons
econ/...	Every cosmetic's inventory icon, sets, couriers, wards, tools
loadingscreens/...	Loading screens, full size
emoticons/, sprays/	Emoticons (animated strips) and sprays

Names people know: names.json maps a path to its name in the game: "panorama/images/spellicons/invoker_sun_strike_png.png": ["Sun Strike", "ability"] (kinds: hero, ability, item, cosmetic).

How to use it

One file, straight from its link (works in a browser, an <img>, fetch; served with CORS):

https://huggingface.co/datasets/Sqls1/dota2-images/resolve/main/panorama/images/heroes/npc_dota_hero_pudge_png.png

Python (huggingface_hub):

from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download, snapshot_download

# one file
path = hf_hub_download("Sqls1/dota2-images", "panorama/images/heroes/npc_dota_hero_pudge_png.png", repo_type="dataset")

# a whole folder
snapshot_download("Sqls1/dota2-images", repo_type="dataset", allow_patterns="panorama/images/heroes/*", local_dir="dota2-images")

Command line (pip install -U huggingface_hub):

hf download Sqls1/dota2-images --repo-type dataset --include "panorama/images/heroes/*" --local-dir dota2-images

Find anything: files.json at the root lists every file with its size, one download instead of walking the folders:

const { files } = await (await fetch("https://huggingface.co/datasets/Sqls1/dota2-images/resolve/main/files.json")).json(); // [[path, size], ...]

How it stays up to date

Exported from the game files by images.js. The tracker checks Steam every six hours; after a game update it exports only what changed and removes what the game removed. Everything at the game's own paths, so a file you know from the game is easy to find.

Made for Dotadex, a site that shows every Dota 2 hero and cosmetic in 3D as the game does, and open to everyone.
