PoE 2 Hideout Art

Path of Exile 2 brought new hideouts, a new camera and a new set of decorations, and players wasted no time filling them with art. The generator supports PoE 2 fully, so any image you can turn into PoE 1 hideout art also works in PoE 2, built from decorations that exist in PoE 2.

How to make PoE 2 hideout art

1. Open the generator and switch the game to Path of Exile 2.
2. Pick the PoE 2 hideout you actually use. A .hideout file only imports into the hideout type it was made for.
3. Upload your image and press Try it free for an in-game preview.
4. Download the .hideout file and import it from the hideout edit menu.

That is the whole process. The steps are the same as for PoE 1; only the decoration list and the hideouts change.

Which decorations PoE 2 art uses

The two games share a lot of art assets, but the decoration lists are not identical. Some PoE 1 favourites do not exist in PoE 2, and PoE 2 has pieces PoE 1 does not. For PoE 2 the generator only uses decorations that have been seen in real PoE 2 hideout files, so everything in your download is something the game recognises.

In practice that means the same image can come out with a slightly different texture in each game. The outline and colour layout stay the same; the "material" the picture is made of changes. Every art guide on this site shows the PoE 2 decoration count next to the PoE 1 count, so you can compare.

The PoE 2 camera and art size

PoE 2's camera sits a little differently from PoE 1's, and hideouts have different open floor areas. Two practical tips:

• Place the art where you stand most. The default position is the hideout centre, but you can move it with the X/Y position fields so it sits next to your stash or waypoint.
• Go bigger for faces. Eyes and mouths need room. If a character looks soft in the preview, raise the art size by 30 to 50 units and generate again.

Choosing images for PoE 2

What works in PoE 1 works in PoE 2:

• Bold outlines: cartoons, logos and line art keep crisp edges.
• A few flat colours: big colour areas read better than gradients.
• One clear subject: crop away busy backgrounds.

Unlocking decorations in PoE 2

When you import a hideout file, the game places only the decorations you have unlocked. The result page lists every decoration in your artwork with its count, so you can unlock anything missing first and get the complete picture on the first import.

Pokémon, Mario, anime portraits and guild logos are the most popular. Browse the art guides for a full breakdown of each one, including how many decorations it needs in PoE 2.
