What are the required Google Play screenshot dimensions?

Google Play requires screenshots with a minimum of 320px on the short side and a maximum of 3840px on the long side. The aspect ratio must be between 1:2 and 2:1. The most commonly used size for phone screenshots is 1080 × 1920 px (portrait).

How many screenshots does Google Play require?

Google Play requires a minimum of 2 screenshots and allows a maximum of 8 screenshots for phones. Tablet screenshots are optional but recommended if your app supports tablets.

What is the Google Play feature graphic size?

The Google Play feature graphic must be exactly 1024 × 500 px, saved as JPEG or 24-bit PNG. It appears at the top of your app's Play Store listing and is required to be featured in editorial selections.

Can I use the same screenshots for Google Play and the App Store?

Not directly, because the required dimensions differ. App Store requires 1290 × 2796 px (6.7-inch iPhone), while Google Play's recommended phone size is 1080 × 1920 px. You'll need to export separate sets, though the visual design can be the same.

Google Play Screenshot Requirements: Complete Guide (2026)

Everything you need to know about Google Play Store screenshot dimensions , phone specs, tablet specs, feature graphic size, and what trips up most developers.

Quick answer

Google Play requires screenshots between 320px and 3840px on each side, with a 16:9 or 9:16 aspect ratio. Minimum 4 screenshots per listing. Phone screenshots are typically 1080 x 1920 pixels. Screenshots must be PNG or JPEG, no transparency, under 8 MB.

Google Play is more flexible than the App Store when it comes to screenshot dimensions , it accepts a range of sizes rather than requiring exact pixel counts. But that flexibility comes with rules: screenshots outside the accepted aspect ratio or below the minimum width will be rejected during submission.

This guide covers every specification you need to publish an Android app on Google Play, including phone screenshots, tablet screenshots, and the often-overlooked feature graphic. If you also publish on iOS, see our App Store screenshot sizes guide for the iPhone and iPad requirements.

Phone Screenshot Requirements

These apply to the main phone screenshot slot, which is what users see first on your Play Store listing.

Specification	Value
Minimum width (short side)	320 px
Maximum size (long side)	3840 px
Aspect ratio	1:2 to 2:1 (portrait or landscape)
Recommended portrait size	1080 × 1920 px
Recommended landscape size	1920 × 1080 px
File format	JPEG or 32-bit PNG (no alpha on JPEG)
Maximum file size	8 MB per screenshot
Minimum screenshots	2
Maximum screenshots	8

Feature Graphic

Required size: 1024 × 500 px

File format: JPEG or 24-bit PNG (no alpha)

The feature graphic appears as a banner at the top of your app listing and is used when Google features your app in editorial sections, promotions, or the "Editors' Choice" category. It must be exactly 1024 × 500 px, no exceptions.

Unlike screenshots, the feature graphic should not show UI elements or dense text, because Google may crop or overlay it. Use your app's logo, key visual, and a short tagline that reads well at reduced sizes.

Tablet Screenshot Requirements

Tablet screenshots are optional but strongly recommended if your app targets tablets. Apps with tablet screenshots appear more prominently in tablet-specific searches on Google Play.

Device	Recommended Size	Notes
7" tablet	1080 × 1920 px	Optional but boosts visibility in tablet search results
10" tablet	1200 × 1920 px	Optional. Covers Pixel Tablet, Samsung Galaxy Tab, etc.

Tablet screenshots follow the same format rules as phone screenshots: JPEG or 32-bit PNG, 8 MB max, aspect ratio between 1:2 and 2:1.

5 Common Mistakes to Avoid

Wrong aspect ratio

Google Play will reject screenshots outside the 1:2 to 2:1 ratio. A 9:16 phone screenshot (1080 × 1920) is fine; a square screenshot (1:1) is not.

Including promotional text in screenshots

Google Play's policies prohibit screenshots that mislead users about app functionality. Avoid exaggerated claims or fake UI elements not present in the app.

Skipping the feature graphic

The 1024 × 500 px feature graphic is required for your app to be featured in editorial placements. Many developers forget it or upload the wrong dimensions.

Using the same screenshots as the App Store

App Store screenshots are typically 1290 × 2796 px, which falls outside Google Play's accepted aspect ratios. Always export a separate set for Google Play.

Low-resolution screenshots

Screenshots below 320 px on the short side will be rejected. Even if accepted, low-resolution images look unprofessional on modern high-DPI Android displays.
