Google Play Screenshot Sizes (2026): Phone, Tablet & Feature Graphic
Design phone screenshots at 1080 × 1920 (9:16 portrait) or 1920 × 1080 (16:9 landscape). Google Play accepts JPEG or 24-bit PNG without alpha, 320–3840 px per side, a longest side no more than twice the shortest, and up to 8 MB per file. Upload 2 to 8 per device type, and add the required 1024 × 500 feature graphic.

Recommended sizes for featuring and recommendations
Meeting the upload rules gets your listing live. Google lists the points below as highly recommended. Missing them does not affect your store listing page, but it can change how your assets appear on Google Play and limit promotional opportunities.
- Apps: at least 4 screenshots at 1080 px or larger, in 9:16 portrait (1080 × 1920) or 16:9 landscape (1920 × 1080).
- Games: at least 3 gameplay screenshots in 9:16 or 16:9 at 1080 px or larger.
- Tablets and Chromebooks: at least 4 in-app screenshots, 1080–7680 px per side, 9:16 or 16:9.
- Keep taglines and other text to about 20% of the image or less.
- Put the actual app interface in the first three screenshots.
Google Play feature graphic size: 1024 × 500
The feature graphic is a required banner at exactly 1024 × 500 pixels, in JPEG or 24-bit PNG (no alpha). Google uses it at the top of your listing, in promotions and as the cover of your preview video, and may crop it on some surfaces. Keep the logo and any text near the center and away from the edges.
Google Play app icon size: 512 × 512
The store listing icon is 512 × 512, 32-bit PNG (alpha allowed), with a maximum file size of 1024 KB. Unlike screenshots, the icon may contain alpha.
| Asset | Size (px) | Format | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Feature graphic | 1024 × 500 | JPEG or 24-bit PNG (no alpha) | Required. Exact size only: 1023 × 500 or 2048 × 1000 is rejected. Also used as the cover for your preview video. |
| App icon | 512 × 512 | 32-bit PNG (alpha allowed) | Required. Maximum file size 1024 KB. |
| Android TV banner | 1280 × 720 | JPEG or 24-bit PNG (no alpha) | Android TV apps only. |
Common rejection reasons and fixes
Screenshot is too tall or too wide
Divide the longest side by the shortest. Above 2.0 is rejected. Raw captures from modern phones (1080 × 2340 is 2.17) fail this check, so place them on a 1080 × 1920 canvas instead of stretching or cropping the UI.
PNG has an alpha channel
Google Play wants JPEG or 24-bit PNG. A 32-bit PNG with alpha is rejected even if every pixel is opaque. Export without transparency or save as JPEG.
Image is outside 320–3840 px
Downscale 4K or larger exports so no side exceeds 3840 px. For phones, 1080 × 1920 is the practical target; tiny images that pass the 320 px minimum still look blurry on the listing.
File is larger than 8 MB
Large PNGs with photos or gradients can exceed 8 MB. Save as high-quality JPEG or run the PNG through a lossless optimizer.
Feature graphic is rejected
It must be exactly 1024 × 500. 1023 × 500, 1024 × 512 or a 2x export at 2048 × 1000 all fail. It also cannot have an alpha channel.
Wear OS or tablet screenshots flagged
Wear OS screenshots must show only the app interface: no device frames, extra text or backgrounds. Tablet sets should show the real large-screen layout, not phone screens on a wide canvas.
Turn raw captures into a store-ready set
AppMockup places your captures on a 9:16 canvas with device frames and headlines, so tall phone screenshots pass the 2:1 rule without distortion. Try the Play Store screenshot generator, or the App Store & Play Store screenshot generator for both stores at once. Shipping on iOS as well? See the App Store screenshot sizes guide.
Google Play screenshot size FAQ
What size should Google Play screenshots be?
Use 1080 × 1920 pixels for portrait phone screenshots or 1920 × 1080 for landscape. Google Play accepts any size from 320 to 3840 pixels per side with a ratio up to 2:1, but 1080 px or larger in 9:16 or 16:9 is what makes a listing eligible for recommendation formats.
What are the minimum and maximum Play Store screenshot dimensions?
Each side must be between 320 px and 3840 px, and the longest side cannot be more than twice the shortest side. Files must be JPEG or 24-bit PNG without alpha, up to 8 MB each.
How many screenshots does Google Play require?
You need at least 2 screenshots across your supported device types to publish, and you can upload up to 8 per device type. For recommendation eligibility, upload at least 4 screenshots for apps or at least 3 gameplay screenshots for games.
Why does Google Play reject my tall phone screenshot?
Modern phones capture at ratios above 2:1. A 1080 × 2340 capture has a ratio of 2.17, which exceeds the limit even though both sides are within 320–3840 px. Place the capture on a 1080 × 1920 (9:16) canvas instead of uploading it raw.
What is the Google Play feature graphic size?
The feature graphic must be exactly 1024 × 500 pixels, JPEG or 24-bit PNG without alpha. It is required for publishing and is also used as the cover image for your preview video.
What size should tablet and Chromebook screenshots be?
For large-screen recommendation formats, upload at least 4 screenshots in 9:16 or 16:9 with each side between 1080 and 7680 px, for example 2160 × 3840 or 3840 × 2160. The 7-inch and 10-inch tablet sections each take up to 8 screenshots.
Can I reuse my App Store screenshots on Google Play?
Not the iPhone ones as-is. 1206 × 2622 and 1320 × 2868 both have a ratio of about 2.17, which is over Google Play's 2:1 limit, so they must be recomposed to 9:16. iPad screenshots such as 2048 × 2732 are within the limit, but tablets on Google Play should show your Android tablet UI.
What size is the Google Play app icon?
The store listing icon is 512 × 512 pixels, 32-bit PNG, with a maximum file size of 1024 KB.
