How to inspect a CS2 skin properly, what float and pattern seed really change, and how to use the viewer, the price pages and alerts on this site.
A 3D viewer for Counter-Strike 2 skins that runs in your browser. Pick any gun, knife or pair of gloves, choose a finish, and set the exact float and pattern seed to see one specific copy of it — then add stickers, a charm and a name tag, compare what it costs across marketplaces, and share the exact build as a link.
It is free, and you do not need an account to inspect skins, share builds or compare prices. Signing in — with Steam or with a one-time code sent to your email — is only needed for price alerts and for an embed API key.
No. cs2inspect.skin is an unofficial fan-made tool. The skins, weapon models and sticker artwork belong to Valve.

Before you buy or trade, check these in order:
The viewer is built from the game's own weapon models and paint textures, and applies wear and pattern the way the game does, so the paint, wear placement and pattern match what you would see in your inventory. Lighting is not the game's, so colours can look slightly different from a particular map. If something looks clearly wrong on a skin, it is a bug — tell us.
Yes. Switch the view from the 3D inspect view to the hands view to see the weapon from the player's point of view, as it looks while you are holding it in game.
Every skin has a float between 0 and 1 that sets how worn it looks — the lower, the cleaner. The float also sets the skin's exterior, which is part of its name on the market:
| Exterior | Float |
|---|---|
| Factory New | 0.00 – 0.07 |
| Minimal Wear | 0.07 – 0.15 |
| Field-Tested | 0.15 – 0.38 |
| Well-Worn | 0.38 – 0.45 |
| Battle-Scarred | 0.45 – 1.00 |
A skin's float never changes once it exists — using the weapon does not wear it down.
Many finishes only cover part of the 0–1 range. AWP | Dragon Lore, for example, runs from 0.00 to 0.70, and some skins never come in Factory New or Battle-Scarred at all. The viewer keeps the slider inside the range the finish really drops in, and every skin's page lists its range and the exteriors it exists in.
A number from 0 to 1000 (also called pattern index or paint seed) that decides how the paint is positioned on the model. Two copies of the same skin at the same float can still look different because of it. Enter a seed under Pattern to see that exact copy.
Pattern matters most on finishes where the seed changes what you see, not just where it sits: Case Hardened (the mostly-blue "blue gem" patterns), Fade and Amber Fade (how much of the fade shows), Marble Fade (fire-and-ice style colourings) and Crimson Web (how many full webs land in view). On these, a rare seed can be worth many times the price of a common one, so always check the seed before you pay a premium. (Doppler phases such as Ruby or Sapphire are different: each phase is its own finish, not a seed.)
A StatTrak™ skin carries a small digital counter on the weapon that records kills made by its owner. StatTrak™ versions usually cost more than the normal ones. Switch StatTrak™ on in the viewer to see where the counter sits on the gun; the price page shows StatTrak™ prices separately.
Souvenir skins drop from souvenir packages at CS2 Majors. They come with stickers from that tournament already applied — usually the teams in the match and the event logo — and they can never be StatTrak™.
Yes, on guns. Open Attachments to place stickers in any of the weapon's slots (the panel shows how many it has), add a charm, and drag either on the model to move it. Name tags have their own step. Knives and gloves cannot carry stickers or charms in CS2, so the viewer does not offer them there.
Each skin has a price page that collects current offers from Steam Market, CSFloat, Skinport, Buff.market, DMarket, CS.Money, CS.Deals, Market.CSGO, SkinBaron, White.market, GamerPay and Skins.com. It shows the lowest price on each, the cheapest offer in every exterior, recent sales and how the price has moved over time.
Every marketplace has its own sellers, fees and currency. Steam Market prices are paid in Steam Wallet funds, which cannot be withdrawn, so skins often list higher there than on marketplaces that pay out real money. Listings also change quickly — always confirm the price on the marketplace before you buy.
Sign in, open a skin's price page and set an alert with the price you want. When the skin drops below it, you get an email. You can see and manage all your alerts from your account.
No. Nothing is sold here. The price page links you to the listing on the marketplace, and you buy there under that marketplace's terms.
