Play Store screenshots show people what an app actually does before they install it. Google requires at least two screenshots across device types and allows up to eight per supported device type. Because screenshots can appear on the store listing, in search, and on other Play surfaces, use accurate captures, lead with the clearest product value, and prepare device-specific sets when the experience changes on larger screens.

Google accepts a range rather than one mandatory phone resolution. The recommendation row applies to apps seeking eligibility for Play surfaces that use larger screenshot formats, and the feature graphic and app icon are required for every listing.
| Play Console asset | Size | Format and ratio | How many |
|---|---|---|---|
| Screenshots (base rules) | Size: 320 to 3,840 px on each side | Format: JPEG or 24-bit PNG, no alpha. The long side is at most twice the short side. | How many: At least 2 across the listing to publish; up to 8 per device type |
| Screenshots for recommendation formats | Size: At least 1080 × 1920 portrait or 1920 × 1080 landscape | Format: 9:16 portrait or 16:9 landscape | How many: At least 4 for apps, 3 for games |
| Tablet and Chromebook screenshots | Size: 1,080 to 7,680 px | Format: 9:16 portrait or 16:9 landscape | How many: At least 4 when you add them |
| Feature graphic | Size: 1024 × 500 px | Format: JPEG or 24-bit PNG, no alpha | How many: Required to publish |
| App icon | Size: 512 × 512 px | Format: 32-bit PNG with alpha, up to 1,024 KB | How many: Required to publish |
Checked against Google Play Console Help: preview asset requirements on 18 October 2026. Wear OS, Android TV, Android Automotive OS and Android XR have their own sections and rules. Google can change any of these, so confirm them in Play Console before you upload.
Required listing graphic
Google requires a feature graphic to publish a store listing. Export it as a JPEG or 24-bit PNG without alpha. Google Play uses it as the cover image of your preview video, if you add one, and in large-format collections.
Make a 1024 × 500 feature graphicScreenshot placement changes by device and Play surface, so there is no universal frame that decides most installs. Put the clearest product value early, keep captions short enough to read at thumbnail size, and use the remaining slots to show distinct workflows rather than repeating the same screen. Keep one visual system across the set: the same caption font, background palette, and Pixel frame treatment, so the set reads as a single campaign.
For a tablet-optimized app, capture the actual large-screen layout rather than stretching a phone design. Google has separate 7-inch and 10-inch tablet sections and specific large-screen recommendations. If you're launching on both stores, reuse the visual system for your App Store screenshots to keep both listings consistent.
Step 1
Pick one of the Play Store screenshot templates or open a blank Android canvas at 1080 × 1920.
Step 2
Replace the sample captures with current screens from your app. Google asks that any tagline take up no more than 20% of the image.
Step 3
Export the phone set, then recompose for large screens if your app supports them: Google asks for at least four 9:16 or 16:9 tablet screenshots between 1,080 and 7,680 px.
Step 4
Run the files through the Play Store screenshot size checker, add the 1024 × 500 feature graphic, and upload everything in Play Console.
Go deeper on any part of the Google Play screenshot workflow.
Google accepts JPEG or 24-bit PNG screenshots without alpha. Each dimension must be between 320 px and 3840 px, and the longer side cannot be more than twice the shorter side. For apps to be eligible for recommendation surfaces that use screenshots, Google asks for at least four screenshots at a minimum 1080 px resolution in 9:16 portrait or 16:9 landscape.
Google requires at least two screenshots across device types to publish a store listing and allows up to eight for each supported device type. Put the clearest product screens early because Google can show screenshots on the listing, in search, and on other Play surfaces.
Requirements depend on the devices your app supports. Google provides separate 7-inch and 10-inch tablet sections, and its current large-screen guidance calls for at least four tablet or Chromebook screenshots in 9:16 or 16:9 at 1080–7680 px. Use tablet captures that accurately show the large-screen experience.
You can reuse the visual system, captions, and source screenshots when they accurately represent both versions of the app. Export separate files for each store: Google uses an accepted range and device-specific guidance, while Apple validates a defined list of screenshot dimensions.
The feature graphic is 1024 × 500 px, saved as JPEG or 24-bit PNG without alpha. Google requires it to publish a store listing, and Google Play uses it as the cover image of your preview video, if you add one, and in large-format collections.
They can, but Google recommends avoiding device imagery because it can become obsolete or alienate some users, and it asks that any tagline take up no more than 20% of the image. If you use a Pixel or Galaxy frame, compare it with a frame-free version that shows the interface larger.
Yes. Screenhance runs in the browser, and its free plan includes three watermarked exports per month. The one-time Launch Pass and Pro plans add clean exports; check the pricing page before exporting a larger set.
