Google Play Screenshot Sizes and Feature Graphic Dimensions
Google Play accepts a range of screenshot dimensions, but recommendation surfaces favor high-resolution 16:9 landscape or 9:16 portrait assets. This reference separates hard limits, recommended app and game sets, large-screen guidance, and the feature graphic requirement.
Google Play screenshot size requirements
Every screenshot must be JPEG or opaque 24-bit PNG. Both dimensions must fall between 320 and 3840 pixels, and the long edge cannot be more than twice the short edge. This broad range permits several ratios, but it does not guarantee eligibility for prominent recommendation formats.
A listing needs at least two screenshots across device types. Google Play allows up to eight screenshots for each supported device type, including phones and multiple large-screen categories.
| Rule | Current requirement |
|---|---|
| File type | JPEG or 24-bit PNG without alpha |
| Minimum dimension | 320px |
| Maximum dimension | 3840px |
| Aspect constraint | Long edge cannot exceed 2× the short edge |
| Quantity | At least 2 across device types; up to 8 per device type |
Recommended phone and tablet screenshot dimensions
For regular apps to qualify for recommendation formats that use screenshots, Google asks for at least four images with a minimum 1080px resolution. Use 1080 × 1920 or higher for 9:16 portrait, or 1920 × 1080 or higher for 16:9 landscape.
App Asset Kit includes 1080 × 1920 and 1440 × 2560 presets for Android phone and tablet listing canvases. The optional 2160 × 3840 tablet output remains within the general maximum and preserves a 9:16 ratio.
| Use | Portrait | Landscape | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Android app, recommended start | 1080 × 1920 | 1920 × 1080 | 9:16 or 16:9; prepare at least four |
| Higher-resolution listing | 1440 × 2560 | 2560 × 1440 | Sharper source for high-density displays |
| Large optional output | 2160 × 3840 | 3840 × 2160 | At the general 3840px maximum edge |
| Game recommendation set | At least 1080 × 1920 | At least 1920 × 1080 | Prepare at least three in-game screenshots |
Google Play feature graphic size
The feature graphic is a separate required listing asset. Google specifies 1024 × 500 pixels in JPEG or opaque 24-bit PNG. It may appear as a preview-video cover and in larger promotional placements, so it should communicate the product’s value without duplicating the app icon.
Keep important artwork away from the edges because the graphic may be cropped on different surfaces. Avoid tiny details, ranking claims, prices, promotional language, and time-sensitive copy.
| Asset | Dimensions | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Feature graphic | 1024 × 500 | JPEG or 24-bit PNG without alpha |
Large-screen and special-device differences
For Chromebook and tablet recommendation formats, Google recommends at least four images from 1080 to 7680px using 16:9 landscape or 9:16 portrait. General phone screenshot limits and specialized categories should not be mixed blindly.
Wear OS, Android TV, Automotive, and Android XR have their own screenshot counts, ratios, and presentation rules. For example, Wear OS screenshots should show only the watch interface without external device frames or added backgrounds. Always check the current device-specific section when publishing beyond phones and tablets.
Choose portrait or landscape deliberately
Portrait works well for most phone-first utilities and keeps the device interaction recognizable. Landscape is appropriate for games, video, dashboards, and products whose real experience is horizontal. Do not rotate a portrait interface merely to occupy more width.
Use one orientation consistently for the strongest sequence unless the product genuinely benefits from both. Preview the set on a narrow screen because Google can surface screenshots outside the full listing page.
