Publish requirements

Export the exact Play Console file

Requirement reference: Google Play preview assets.

Safe layout rules

Keep the promise readable

Center the main message, keep headlines and logos away from edges, and avoid tiny detail that disappears in smaller placements. AppScreens resizes text, images, and layout elements so your feature graphic stays readable across templates, screenshots, and localized variants.

Upload workflow

Match screenshots, localize, then upload

Keep your feature graphic, screenshots, icon, and localized store assets in one visual system before upload. AppScreens packages the assets for release and keeps the matching screenshot set close by, so the listing does not drift between updates. For examples and mistakes, read the feature graphic guide.

Localization

Adapt the graphic for every priority market

Translate the headline, adjust text length, and keep the same visual hierarchy across localized feature graphics and screenshot sets. AppScreens keeps localized text, sizing, and screenshot variants organized in the same project. For the growth case behind localized store assets, read the localization benefits guide.
