Google Play Store Screenshot Sizes: Dimensions, Specs & Best Practices

Google's documentation on Play Store asset requirements is accurate but scattered across four different pages. Here's the consolidated reality, plus the bits Google doesn't spell out but which matter in practice.

The required baseline

For any app to publish on the Play Store, Google requires: an app icon (512 × 512, 32-bit PNG with alpha), a feature graphic (1024 × 500 JPG or 24-bit PNG, no alpha), and at least two phone screenshots. Everything else is optional.

Phone screenshot dimensions

• Minimum dimension: 320 px on the short side.
• Maximum dimension: 3840 px on the long side.
• Aspect ratio: between 16:9 and 9:16 — portrait and landscape both accepted.
• Format: JPEG or 24-bit PNG (no alpha).
• Count: 2 minimum, 8 maximum.

In practice, target 1080 × 1920 or 1440 × 2560 portrait. Those two sizes cover virtually every Android device and look sharp on everything from a Pixel 4a to a Galaxy S25 Ultra.

7-inch tablet screenshots

• Same min/max/ratio rules as phone.
• Target: 1200 × 1920 portrait or 1920 × 1200 landscape.
• Required if your app claims 7-inch tablet support.

10-inch tablet screenshots

• Target: 1600 × 2560 portrait or 2560 × 1600 landscape.
• Google has been increasingly strict about showing tablet-optimized layouts here, not just upscaled phone UIs.

Wear OS, Android TV, Chromebook

• Wear OS: 384 × 384 square, JPG or 24-bit PNG.
• Android TV: 1920 × 1080 landscape — remember, this shows up on a couch-distance display; bigger type is your friend.
• Chromebook: 1920 × 1200 or larger, landscape.

The feature graphic is doing more than you think

The 1024 × 500 feature graphic is the banner image Google shows in curated collections, app-of-the-day placements and ads. If your feature graphic is weak, Google's algorithmic promo spots skip your app. A great one is the single cheapest Play Store win.

File-size and compression rules

• 8 MB per image, maximum.
• No alpha channel on any image that isn't the app icon.
• Color space: sRGB. Avoid wide-gamut exports from newer design tools; they won't render as expected.

Things Google doesn't spell out

• Screenshots are cached aggressively. After you update them, expect up to 24 hours before the new ones propagate globally.
• The first screenshot acts as the store thumbnail in several surfaces. Treat it as a second feature graphic, not as screenshot #1.
• Play Store's new 2025 layout surfaces the first three screenshots without a swipe on phone — behavior Apple's had for years.

Bottom line

Ship 1080 × 1920 phone screenshots, a 1024 × 500 feature graphic, and a 512 × 512 icon. You'll cover 99% of users with those three assets. Worry about Wear OS and TV only if your app genuinely targets them.
