Google Play screenshot sizes for 2026
Google is looser than Apple. Screenshots just need each side between 320 and 3840 pixels with no side more than twice the other. The numbers that actually matter are 1080 by 1920 for featuring eligibility, 1024 by 500 for the feature graphic, and 512 by 512 for the icon

The short version
Every asset on a Play listing
| Asset | Size in pixels | Status | Rules |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phone screenshots | 320 to 3840 per side | Required | At least 2 across device types to publish, up to 8 per device type, JPEG or 24 bit PNG, no alpha, longer side at most twice the shorter |
| Feature graphic | 1024 × 500 | Required | JPEG or 24 bit PNG, no transparency, doubles as the preview video cover |
| App icon | 512 × 512 | Required | 32 bit PNG with alpha, up to 1024KB, no ranking or price badges |
| Tablet and Chromebook | 1080 to 7680 per side | Recommended | 16:9 landscape or 9:16 portrait, at least 4 to show the large screen experience |
| Wear OS | 384 × 384 minimum | For Wear apps | Square 1:1, no transparent backgrounds or masking |
| Android TV | banner 1280 × 720 | For TV apps | At least one TV screenshot plus the TV banner to publish |
Video
The preview video works differently
Google Play does not take a video upload. The preview video is a YouTube URL on your listing, shown before your screenshots with the feature graphic as its cover
- Use a single video URL, not a playlist or channel link, with no extra parameters
- Set the video to public or unlisted, never private, and not age restricted
- Turn ads and monetization off or the video will not show on Google Play
- Landscape and portrait are both supported, match your app's orientation
- Only the first 30 seconds autoplays, muted, so front load the good part
- At least 80 percent of the video must show the real app experience
Bonus
Listing text limits, while you are here
| Field | Limit |
|---|---|
| App name | 30 characters |
| Short description | 80 characters |
| Full description | 4000 characters |
The short description is the one that sells. It shows above the fold on your listing, so treat those 80 characters like a headline, not a summary
Questions
Fair questions, straight answers
What size should Google Play screenshots be in 2026?
Each side between 320 and 3840 pixels, longer side at most twice the shorter. In practice 1080 by 1920 covers phones and also satisfies the 1080px minimum Google requires before featuring your app
How many screenshots does Google Play require?
A minimum of two across device types to publish, up to 8 per device type. For featuring, apps need at least four at 1080px or better in 16:9 or 9:16, games at least three
Is the feature graphic required?
Yes. Every listing must include a 1024 by 500 feature graphic in JPEG or 24 bit PNG with no transparency. It doubles as the cover for your preview video. The Play Store screenshot generator ships a preset at exactly that size
Can screenshots have transparency?
No. Screenshots and the feature graphic must be JPEG or 24 bit PNG without alpha. Only the 512 by 512 app icon uses a 32 bit PNG with alpha
Does Google still have separate 7 inch and 10 inch tablet specs?
Current guidance folds tablets in with Chromebooks under the large screens rules: 1080 to 7680 pixels in 16:9 or 9:16, with at least four screenshots recommended
