Google Play Screenshot Sizes: Complete Guide for 2026
Google Play screenshot requirements differ from the App Store — different aspect ratios, dimension ranges, and a required feature graphic. If you ship on both stores, you need assets for each platform without rebuilding your entire design workflow.
This guide covers 2026 Google Play screenshot sizes, common mistakes, and how to export Play Store assets from the same project as your App Store screenshots.
Google Play Screenshot Requirements Overview #
Google Play is more flexible than Apple's fixed size matrix, but screenshots must still meet minimum and maximum dimensions. Upload outside the allowed range and Play Console rejects the file.
Phone screenshots #
| Requirement | Value |
|---|---|
| Aspect ratio | 16:9 to 9:16 |
| Minimum dimension | 320 px (shortest side) |
| Maximum dimension | 3840 px (longest side) |
| Format | JPEG or 24-bit PNG (no alpha) |
| Count | 2–8 screenshots |
7-inch tablet screenshots #
Same aspect ratio and dimension rules as phone screenshots. Required if your app targets tablets.
10-inch tablet screenshots #
| Requirement | Value |
|---|---|
| Aspect ratio | 16:9 to 9:16 |
| Minimum dimension | 1080 px (shortest side) |
| Maximum dimension | 7680 px (longest side) |
Feature graphic #
| Requirement | Value |
|---|---|
| Size | 1024 × 500 px |
| Format | JPEG or 24-bit PNG (no alpha) |
The feature graphic appears at the top of your Play Store listing — it's required and often overlooked by developers focused only on phone screenshots.
Google Play vs App Store Screenshot Sizes #
| Store | Approach |
|---|---|
| Apple App Store | Fixed pixel dimensions per device class (iPhone 6.9", iPad 13", Mac, etc.) |
| Google Play | Flexible aspect ratios within min/max bounds |
This means you cannot simply upload the same PNG files to both stores without checking dimensions. A tool that exports both store formats from one design saves significant time.

Common Google Play Screenshot Mistakes #
- Wrong aspect ratio — Screenshots outside 16:9 to 9:16 are rejected
- Alpha channel PNGs — Google Play requires 24-bit PNG without transparency
- Missing feature graphic — Listing looks incomplete without the 1024×500 banner
- Low resolution — Blurry screenshots below minimum dimensions
- Designing separately for each store — Duplicating work in Figma for Apple and Google
Export Google Play Screenshots from One Project #
Screenshot Studio supports Android phones alongside every Apple platform. Design your screenshot set once, then export:
- App Store sizes for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch, TV, and Vision Pro
- Google Play sizes for phones and tablets
- Localized variants for every language
This is especially valuable for indie developers who ship to both stores without a dedicated design team.
Download Screenshot Studio for Mac and iOS.
Checklist Before Publishing to Google Play #

- [ ] Tablet screenshots if your app supports tablets
- [ ] Feature graphic at 1024 × 500 px
- [ ] Localized screenshots for target markets
- [ ] No transparency in PNG exports
- [ ] Captions highlight benefits in the first 2–3 screenshots
