Quick Answer
The Google Play feature graphic must be exactly 1024 x 500 px, saved as a JPEG or 24-bit PNG with no alpha (no transparency). Phone screenshots should be 1080 x 1920 px (9:16), with each side between 320 and 3840 px and an aspect ratio no wider than 2:1. Your app icon is 512 x 512 px (32-bit PNG with alpha, under 1 MB), and the Android TV banner is 1280 x 720 px.
Why Google Play asset sizes are strict
Google Play rejects uploads that miss the spec, and a wrong-sized feature graphic is one of the most common reasons a listing won't go live. Unlike the App Store, Play uses the feature graphic across the store, in promotional placements, and — when you add a video — as the play-button backdrop. Get the dimensions, format, and safe area right once and the same artwork works everywhere.
The other catch is format. The feature graphic specifically forbids transparency, while the icon requires it. Mix those up and you'll either get a rejection or an icon with an ugly black box behind it.
What are the Google Play store listing sizes in 2026?
Here is every required and optional graphic asset for a 2026 Play Console listing in one table. All dimensions are in pixels.
| Asset | Dimensions / Bounds | Aspect ratio | Format | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feature graphic | 1024 x 500 | 2.048:1 | JPEG or 24-bit PNG, no alpha | Yes |
| App icon | 512 x 512 | 1:1 | 32-bit PNG (with alpha), max 1 MB | Yes |
| Phone screenshots | 320–3840 per side (use 1080 x 1920) | up to 2:1 | JPEG or 24-bit PNG | Yes (2–8) |
| 7-inch tablet screenshots | 320–3840 per side | up to 2:1 | JPEG or 24-bit PNG | Optional (up to 8) |
| 10-inch tablet screenshots | 320–3840 per side | up to 2:1 | JPEG or 24-bit PNG | Optional (up to 8) |
| Android TV banner | 1280 x 720 | 16:9 | JPEG or 24-bit PNG | Yes (TV apps) |
| TV screenshots | 320–3840 per side (use 1280 x 720) | up to 2:1 | JPEG or 24-bit PNG | Yes (TV apps) |
| Wear OS screenshots | 384 x 384 (square) | 1:1 | JPEG or 24-bit PNG | Yes (Wear apps) |
| Promo video | YouTube URL | — | Link only | Optional |
You need a minimum of 2 phone screenshots to publish, and Google allows up to 8 per device type. The first 2–3 are what most users actually see, so front-load your best framing.
How big should Google Play screenshots be?
Play screenshots are flexible on exact pixels but rigid on ratio and bounds. Follow these rules and you'll never see a rejection:
- Use 1080 x 1920 px for phone screenshots. It's the clean 9:16 ratio that renders crisp on every device and sits well inside Play's limits.
- Stay within 320–3840 px on each side. Anything below 320 or above 3840 is rejected outright.
- Keep the aspect ratio at or under 2:1 (and at or under 1:2 for landscape). A 9:16 portrait shot sits comfortably inside that limit.
- Match orientation to your app. Portrait apps use 9:16; landscape games use 16:9 — don't mix orientations in one set or the carousel looks broken.
- Upload JPEG or 24-bit PNG. PNG keeps text and UI edges sharp; JPEG is fine for photo-heavy backgrounds. Skip alpha — Play screenshots don't use transparency.
If you're also shipping to Apple, our App Store screenshot sizes breakdown covers the iPhone and iPad side so you can plan both stores in one pass.
Feature graphic rules people get wrong
The 1024 x 500 feature graphic has three traps that cause silent failures:
- No transparency. Export a flat JPEG or 24-bit PNG. A PNG with an alpha channel gets rejected even at the correct size.
- Mind the center safe area. When your listing has a promo video, Play overlays a play button in the middle and crops the edges on some surfaces. Keep your logo and key text roughly centered, away from the outer band.
- No important text near the borders. Different Play placements crop the graphic to different ratios, so treat the outer edges as bleed, not content.
The icon is the opposite: 512 x 512 px, 32-bit PNG with a real alpha channel, under 1 MB. Play applies its own rounded-corner mask, so design on a full square and let the system shape it.
Design once, export Play-ready sizes with echodesigns
Here's the workflow most cross-platform devs want: build one set of screens, then export them at both Apple and Google sizes without re-cropping by hand. That's exactly what echodesigns does.
- Drop your artwork into a real Android device frame, add a background and caption, and arrange a consistent set.
- Export Play-ready 9:16 screenshots at 1080 x 1920 (or 4K on Pro) — no manual canvas math, no off-by-a-pixel rejections.
- Generate a 1024 x 500 feature graphic from the same artwork and brand colors, so your screenshots and feature graphic look like one cohesive listing.
- Reuse the layout for the App Store at the 6.9-inch iPhone and 13-inch iPad sizes, then save it as a template so your next update is a 30-second job.
It runs in the browser, exports high-res PNGs in seconds, and keeps your set visually consistent across every device tile. See more guides on the echodesigns blog.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Google Play feature graphic size?
The feature graphic is 1024 x 500 px (a 2.048:1 ratio). Save it as a JPEG or 24-bit PNG with no transparency. It's required for every listing and appears across the store and as the backdrop for your promo video.
What size should Google Play screenshots be in 2026?
Use 1080 x 1920 px (9:16) for phones. Each side must be between 320 px and 3840 px, with an aspect ratio no wider than 2:1. You need at least 2 screenshots and can upload up to 8 per device type, as JPEG or 24-bit PNG.
What format should the feature graphic and icon be?
The feature graphic must be JPEG or 24-bit PNG without alpha — transparency is rejected. The app icon is the opposite: a 512 x 512 px, 32-bit PNG with alpha, under 1 MB. Don't reuse one format for the other.
How many screenshots does Google Play require?
A minimum of 2 phone screenshots to publish, up to a maximum of 8 per device type. Tablet, TV, and Wear OS screenshots are optional unless your app targets those form factors. The first 2–3 are the ones users see in the carousel, so lead with your strongest.
Can I use the same artwork for Google Play and the App Store?
Yes — the screens themselves are reusable, but the export sizes differ. Play uses 9:16 (1080 x 1920) plus a 1024 x 500 feature graphic; Apple now asks for a single 6.9-inch iPhone set (1290 x 2796 or 1320 x 2868) and auto-scales to smaller phones. With echodesigns you design the set once and export both stores' exact dimensions from a single project.
The Bottom Line
For 2026, lock in these numbers: feature graphic 1024 x 500 (no alpha), phone screenshots 1080 x 1920 (9:16, max 2:1), icon 512 x 512, and TV banner 1280 x 720. Hit the format rules — flat for the feature graphic, alpha for the icon — and your listing sails through review.
