Google Play screenshot sizes & feature graphic specs

If you are looking for the current Google Play screenshot size requirements, the key detail is that Google gives you a flexible range, then rewards high-quality portrait or landscape assets on recommendation surfaces. As of April 12, 2026, this is the practical sizing guidance Android teams should use.

The baseline Google Play screenshot requirements

Minimum technical requirements

  • • `JPEG` or `24-bit PNG` with no alpha
  • • Minimum dimension: `320px`
  • • Maximum dimension: `3840px`
  • • Longest side cannot exceed 2× the shortest side

Publishing threshold

Google requires a minimum of two screenshots across different device types to publish a store listing.

That is only the baseline. Teams that want better Play merchandising should prepare more than the minimum.

Recommended portrait & landscape sizes for visibility

Google’s own guidance for large-format recommendation placements is more opinionated than the baseline upload spec. If you want screenshot-driven recommendation eligibility, plan around these sizes first.

Portrait apps

Provide at least four `9:16` screenshots with minimum `1080 × 1920` resolution.

Landscape apps

Provide at least four `16:9` screenshots with minimum `1920 × 1080` resolution.

Large screens

For tablets and Chromebooks, Google calls for at least four screenshots, between `1080` and `7680px`, using `16:9` landscape or `9:16` portrait.

Design implication

Google Play is stricter about clarity at thumbnail scale

The platform guidance is clear: avoid small text, avoid clutter, and prioritize UI in the first few screenshots. In practice that means shorter taglines, larger type, and less decorative framing than many iOS-first teams expect.

  • • Keep your first three screenshots especially product-forward.
  • • Do not rely on tiny overlays that disappear on phone screens.
  • • Plan a separate Android-safe composition if your iOS set is dense.

Google Play feature graphic size

Required asset

1024 × 500

`JPEG` or `24-bit PNG`, no alpha.

The feature graphic is separate from your screenshots and should not just be a screenshot pasted into a banner. Google explicitly recommends avoiding fine details and keeping the focal point centered because the graphic may be cropped in different merchandising surfaces.

If your team is already designing Android screenshots, plan the feature graphic in the same sprint so the message and visual system stay aligned.

Google Play screenshot size FAQ

What size should Google Play screenshots be in practice?

Google Play allows a broad range, but for recommendation surfaces the practical target is at least 1080 by 1920 for portrait or 1920 by 1080 for landscape. Those dimensions make the asset eligible for more prominent large-format placements.

How many screenshots do I need on Google Play?

Google says you need at least two screenshots across device types to publish a store listing, but teams that want stronger merchandising should prepare at least four high-resolution screenshots for apps.

Is the Google Play feature graphic the same as a screenshot?

No. The feature graphic is a separate 1024 by 500 asset used in merchandising contexts. It should be designed differently from your screenshots and should not just be a raw screenshot export.
