2026 reference guide
Google Play screenshot sizes (2026)
Google's official screenshot guidelines for the Play Store: phone and tablet dimensions, the 1024×500 feature graphic, app icons, aspect ratios, and accepted image formats.
Last verified: , against Google's official Play Store preview asset guidelines.
The short answer
Use 1080×1920 px in 9:16 portrait for high-resolution phone screenshots, add large-screen sets if your app supports tablets, and provide the required 1024×500 px feature graphic. A listing needs at least 2 screenshots in total and accepts up to 8 for each device type.
Screenshot dimensions
| Asset | Recommended (px) | Requirement or guidance | Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phone screenshot | 1080 × 1920 | 320 to 3840 px, ratio no greater than 2:1 | Up to 8 |
| 7″ tablet screenshot | 1080 px or higher | 1080 to 7680 px, 9:16 or 16:9 guidance | At least 4 recommended |
| 10″ tablet screenshot | 1080 px or higher | 1080 to 7680 px, 9:16 or 16:9 guidance | At least 4 recommended |
| Feature graphic | 1024 × 500 | JPEG or 24-bit PNG without alpha | 1 required |
| App icon | 512 × 512 | 32-bit PNG with alpha | 1 required |
File and format rules
- JPEG or 24-bit PNG screenshots without an alpha channel.
- Aspect ratio between 1:2 and 2:1. Anything more extreme is rejected at upload.
- Promotion eligibility: at least 4 phone screenshots with the short side at 1080 px or more (9:16 portrait or 16:9 landscape) makes your listing eligible for more Play Store surfaces.
- Games: Google asks for at least 3 landscape 1920×1080 or portrait 1080×1920 screenshots for game promotion formats.
- Large-screen sets matter: tablet screenshots improve the listing experience on larger devices and support recommendation eligibility.
Screenshot vs feature graphic (the Play Store banner)
Screenshots show the in-app experience and live in the listing gallery. The feature graphic— often searched for as the “Google Play Store banner” — is a separate required asset at exactly 1024×500 px. It fronts promotional placements across the store and acts as the cover image when your listing has a preview video. Design it as one bold brand statement, not as another screenshot: small UI details that work in a 1080×1920 screenshot become unreadable in a wide 1024×500 banner.
Common Google Play upload errors
- Aspect ratio too extreme: anything beyond 2:1 between the longest and shortest side fails at upload.
- PNG with transparency: alpha channels are not accepted for screenshots or the feature graphic.
- Below the minimum: any side under 320 px is rejected.
- Feature graphic off-size: it must be exactly 1024×500 px — Play Console will not scale it for you.
- Low-resolution phone set: uploads under 1080 px publish, but the listing loses eligibility for recommendation surfaces.
Google Play vs the App Store
Google Play accepts a range of sizes; Apple accepts only exact dimensions. That means one export never fits both stores. A 1080×1920 Play screenshot does not match App Store Connect's 1290×2796 slot. If you ship on both platforms, compare with the App Store screenshot sizes guide or let Storescreens export both sets from one project.

Common questions
What is the recommended Google Play screenshot size?
Use 1080×1920 px in 9:16 portrait for high-resolution phone screenshots. Google's base screenshot requirements allow dimensions from 320 to 3840 px, with the longest side no more than twice the shortest side.
How many screenshots does Google Play require?
A store listing needs at least 2 screenshots across supported device types. You can add up to 8 screenshots for each device type. Apps need at least 4 screenshots at 1080 px or higher for recommendation formats that use screenshots.
What size is the Google Play feature graphic?
Exactly 1024×500 px in JPEG or 24-bit PNG with no alpha channel. Google Play requires a feature graphic to publish the store listing and also uses it as the cover for a preview video.
What is the Google Play Store banner size?
The banner shown across Play Store promotional placements is the feature graphic, and it must be exactly 1024×500 px. It is a separate required asset from your screenshots and uses the same JPEG or 24-bit PNG format rules.
What file formats does Google Play accept for screenshots?
Google Play accepts JPEG or 24-bit PNG screenshots without an alpha channel.
Do Google Play and App Store screenshots have the same sizes?
No. Google Play accepts a range from 320 to 3840 px within a 2:1 ratio, while Apple requires exact dimensions such as 1290×2796 px. You need separate exports for each store.
What's the fastest way to produce all Google Play sizes?
