Google Play Screenshot Sizes 2026: Complete Guide

Phone Screenshot Sizes and Requirements

Google Play's screenshot requirements are more flexible than Apple's rigid pixel specifications, but this flexibility comes with its own considerations. For phone screenshots, Google requires a minimum of 2 screenshots and allows up to 8. The dimensions must fall within certain bounds: minimum 320 pixels on any side, maximum 3840 pixels, with an aspect ratio not exceeding 2:1.

For practical purposes, the recommended phone screenshot size is 1080 by 1920 pixels (a 9:16 aspect ratio). This works well across the vast majority of Android phones and is the standard most developers use. If you want higher resolution for newer flagship devices, 1440 by 2560 provides additional sharpness while maintaining the same aspect ratio.

Unlike the App Store where portrait orientation dominates, Google Play accommodates both portrait and landscape screenshots. Consider your app's primary use case when choosing orientation. Games and video apps often benefit from landscape screenshots that show more of the experience; most utility apps work better in portrait. You can mix orientations within your screenshot set, though consistent orientation typically looks more polished.

Tablet and Other Device Screenshots

Tablet screenshots are optional but recommended if your app has a tablet-optimized experience. The 7-inch tablet size uses 1200 by 1920 pixels, while the 10-inch tablet format requires 1600 by 2560 pixels. These screenshots appear on the Play Store when users browse from tablets, so if your app looks great on larger screens, showcase that.

Chromebook screenshots are increasingly important as more users run Android apps on Chrome OS devices. The recommended size is 1920 by 1080 pixels in landscape orientation, reflecting the laptop-style form factor. If your app works well on Chromebooks, dedicated screenshots can help capture this growing user segment.

For Android TV apps, screenshots should be 1920 by 1080 pixels in landscape orientation. TV screenshots need to account for the lean-back, distance-viewing context—text should be large and clear, and the overall composition should work from several feet away. If you're targeting TV, design these screenshots specifically rather than repurposing phone assets.

The Feature Graphic: Don't Skip This

Google Play requires a Feature Graphic alongside your screenshots. This promotional image appears at the top of your store listing and in various Play Store promotional placements. The required size is 1024 by 500 pixels—a wide landscape format.

Your feature graphic should complement your screenshots, not repeat them. Use it for brand messaging, taglines, or promotional imagery that establishes mood and positioning. Unlike screenshots that show app functionality, the feature graphic sells the idea of your app and creates emotional connection.

Keep text away from the corners of your feature graphic, as Google may overlay UI elements in certain contexts. The center and middle zones are safest for critical messaging. Since this graphic appears in many places across the Play Store, it's worth investing time to get it right—it's often a user's first visual impression of your app.
