Google Play Screenshot Sizes and Requirements
Choose the right canvas for your Play Store listing. Check the dimensions, file rules and requirements for each Android device.
For recommendation formats, Google recommends 9:16 portrait at 1080 × 1920 or 16:9 landscape at 1920 × 1080, or larger.
Other ratios can meet the basic upload rules: JPEG or opaque PNG, 320–3840 pixels per side, and a longest side no more than twice the shortest. Device-specific rules are below.

Specifications
Google Play screenshot specifications
Every phone, tablet, Chromebook, Wear OS, Android TV, Automotive and XR rule in one place, following Google’s preview asset requirements.
Portrait or landscape
Use 9:16 portrait for most apps, and 16:9 landscape when your app or game is played sideways. Landscape gives the caption a wider line and puts the capture beside the message. In AppScreens you switch the orientation and review the reflowed layout instead of rebuilding the screenshot.
Show the real large-screen layout
Use the extra space to show what your tablet app does differently. Drop genuine tablet captures into the same AppScreens design, or duplicate it with the Full Screen treatment for a clean, caption-free set that follows Google’s large-screen guidance.

Before you upload
Google Play screenshot requirements
A file that uploads is not the whole goal. Use a clear, high-resolution set that shows the app experience and fits the device and discovery formats you want to serve.
Dimensions, aspect ratio and file format
Each side between 320 and 3840 pixels, the longest no more than twice the shortest, in JPEG or 24-bit PNG without alpha. Tablets, Wear OS, TV, Automotive and XR add their own rules in the specifications above.
How many screenshots do you need?
Google requires at least two screenshots across your supported device types to publish, and allows up to eight per type. For recommendation formats, prepare at least four app screenshots or three gameplay screenshots.
Upload acceptance and recommendation formats are different
The smallest accepted image isn’t the production target. Recommendation formats need 9:16 or 16:9 at 1080 pixels or more, and Google advises keeping taglines to no more than 20% of the image, with the interface prioritized in the first three screenshots.
Required asset
Google Play feature graphic size
The feature graphic is a separate required 1024 × 500 image in JPEG or 24-bit PNG without alpha. Design it as a clear introduction to your app, keep the important artwork away from the edges Google can crop, and match its style to your screenshots.


From one project
Create the right Google Play outputs in AppScreens
AppScreens builds the sizing into your design. Pick your Android outputs, preview every composition and keep the same project ready for your next update.

Choose your Android targets.
In Project settings › Output Sizes, tick Android phone, 7″ tablet or 10″ tablet. Enter a custom size, such as 1080 × 1920, for an exact canvas.
Fit tall captures cleanly.
Drop in your raw phone capture and AppScreens places it inside the 9:16 canvas at its true proportions, with the caption refitted.
Export or upload.
Download JPEG or opaque PNG files for Play Console, or send them straight to your Google Play listing. See direct uploads.
Keep the next release ready.
Replace a capture or change a caption, then regenerate every output. Adding languages? Keep them in the same project with screenshot localization.
App professionals
“I don't think I could release my app without this tool. It single handedly creates all the output sizes I need to release my app to the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, from one design.”
Jax Cvia Product HuntTroubleshooting
Fix common Google Play screenshot upload problems
Fix the canvas, format or device context before repeating an upload. AppScreens keeps the source design editable, so the correction becomes part of your saved set rather than another one-off image. See the Google Play workflow.
01
The image is too tall or too wide.
Divide the longest side by the shortest. Above 2, Google rejects it. Fit the capture on a 9:16 canvas instead of stretching it.
02
The PNG contains an alpha channel.
In AppScreens, set Export transparency to Exc. Alpha under Project settings › Advanced, or export JPEG. A solid-looking background doesn’t remove alpha.
03
Phone and tablet captures are mixed up.
Give each output its matching capture and check the preview, then upload each set to its own Graphics section.
04
The set is accepted but underprepared.
Upload at least four 9:16 or 16:9 screenshots at 1080 px or more, and add a tablet set if your app runs on tablets, so your listing is eligible for Google Play’s recommendation formats.
Why a tall device capture needs a different final canvas
Your phone’s screen shape and your listing image don’t have to match. A Galaxy S25 capture is 1080 × 2340: a ratio of 2340 ÷ 1080 = 2.17, over Google’s 2:1 limit, even though both sides fit the size range.
Ratio 2.17Rejected as a listing screenshot

Ratio 1.78 (9:16)Accepted, UI at true proportions
Google Play check, Phone. galaxy-s25-capture.png (1080 × 2340, ratio 2.17). Upload the raw capture (2340 ÷ 1080 = 2.17, over the 2:1 limit): Rejected; Place it on a 1080 × 1920 canvas (Ratio 1.78 (9:16), UI at true proportions): Accepted; Export without an alpha channel (PNG with Exc. Alpha, or JPEG): Ready.
