Google Play is more flexible than the App Store on dimensions but strict about counts, aspect ratio and the required feature graphic. Miss any of these and Play Console blocks publishing. Here is the full checklist for 2026.
Verified against Google Play’s graphic asset requirements on 29 August 2026.
Screenshot sizes
| Asset | Recommended (px) | Constraints |
|---|---|---|
| Phone (portrait) | 1080 × 1920 | 9:16 · the size Google names for recommendation eligibility |
| Phone (landscape) | 1920 × 1080 | 16:9 · same eligibility rule |
| 7-inch tablet | 1080 × 1920 or larger | Optional slot · Google asks for 4+ large-screen shots, 1080–7680 px, 9:16 or 16:9 |
| 10-inch tablet | 1600 × 2560 is a common canvas | Optional slot · same large-screen guidance |
| Chromebook | 1920 × 1080 | Optional slot · same large-screen guidance |
- Count: up to 8 per device type. Two screenshots across device types is the bar to publish; four or more at 1080 px is the bar for Play’s recommendation placements (three for games).
- Format: JPEG or 24-bit PNG — no alpha / transparency.
- Aspect ratio: no side longer than 2× the other side.
Required store graphics
| Asset | Exact size (px) | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Feature graphic | 1024 × 500 | JPEG or 24-bit PNG (no alpha) |
| App icon | 512 × 512 | 32-bit PNG (with alpha) |
| Promo video | YouTube URL | Optional |
The rule people miss: 2:1
Play states it in a sentence that is easy to skim past — the maximum dimension of your screenshot can’t be more than twice as long as the minimum dimension. That is a hard 2:1 cap in either direction, and it is why a very tall phone capture can be refused even though both of its dimensions sit inside the 320–3840px bounds.
A modern phone screen is about 2.16:1, so a raw full-bleed capture from a current handset is already over the limit. Designing at Play’s recommended 1080 × 1920 (exactly 16:9, or 1.78:1) keeps you comfortably inside it — which is the practical reason to use the recommended size rather than your device’s native resolution.
Every device type Play accepts
Up to 8 screenshots per device type, with a minimum of 2 on the types you support. Play lists rather more device types than most developers realise:
- Phone — the only one most apps need.
- Tablet — 7-inch and 10-inch are separate slots; Play recommends at least 4 each and surfaces large-screen listings differently.
- Chromebook, Android TV, Wear OS, Android Automotive OS and Android XR — only if you ship for them.
Export Play-ready screenshots and a 1024×500 feature graphic
Design once with device frames and export every required App Store & Google Play size in one ZIP — watermark-free on the free plan.

- Lead with the first 2 screenshots — they show in search and the listing preview.
- Use captions inside the frame; Google Play doesn’t add text for you.
- Keep a consistent template across all 8 so the listing reads as one set.
