Google Play screenshot sizes and requirements.
Google gives a range, not a list. Here's what the range is, what it takes for recommendations, the other required assets, and a tool to check a file.

In short
Google Play screenshots can be any size from 320 to 3840 pixels per side, as JPEG or 24-bit PNG with no alpha, with the long side at most twice the short side. You need at least two across device types to publish, and can add up to 8 per type. For recommendations, Google wants at least four at 1080 pixels or more, in 16:9 or 9:16. A 1024 × 500 feature graphic and 512 × 512 icon are required. Checked November 4, 2026.

From Google's preview assets page. Appscreensii makes phone and tablet screenshots and the feature graphic, not the Wear OS, TV, Automotive or XR ones, or the icon.
Check a file
Drop in a PNG or JPEG. This reads its size and whether it has an alpha channel, and compares it with the rules above. The file stays in your browser and isn't uploaded.
Sizes for recommendations
Google says apps need at least four screenshots at a minimum of 1080 pixels to be eligible for its recommendation formats: 16:9 landscape, at least 1920 × 1080, or 9:16 portrait, at least 1080 × 1920. Games need at least three of either orientation at the same minimums.
So a phone set at 1080 × 1920 with four or more screens is a sensible default. It's what Appscreensii starts from, and larger exports at 1440 × 2560 are one click away.
What Google asks you to avoid
From the same page and its store listing best practices:
- Calls to action such as "Download now", "Install now", "Play now" or "Try now".
- Claims such as "Best", "#1", "Top", "New", "Discount", "Sale" or "Million Downloads".
- Taglines over 20% of the image. Google says to use them only when necessary and to keep text to a minimum.
- Device imagery, since it can date quickly or put some people off, and people interacting with the device.
- Store badges, and third-party trademarks without permission.
Also clean up the notification bar, and for screenshots with text, provide a separate set per language. Appscreensii's checks flag most of this as you work, including device frames on a Play set.
The text around them
Google's limits for the rest of the listing: app title 30 characters or fewer, short description 80, full description 4,000. Alt text for assets can be up to 140 characters.
Preview video
Optional, and highly recommended for games: one YouTube link, public or unlisted, with ads off, not age-restricted, and embeddable. Only the first 30 seconds autoplay. Appscreensii doesn't make video.
Store rules checked November 4, 2026, against Apple's and Google's own pages. They change, so check the source before relying on any one number.
Questions
Good to know.
What size should Google Play screenshots be?
Any size from 320 to 3840 pixels per side, with the long side at most twice the short side. 1080 × 1920 in portrait is a good default, since it meets Google's minimum for recommendations.
How many screenshots does Google Play require?
At least two across your device types to publish, up to 8 per device type. Tablets and Chromebooks need at least four, and recommendations need at least four at 1080 pixels or more.
What size is the feature graphic?
It's 1024 × 500, as a JPEG or 24-bit PNG with no alpha, and required to publish. How to make one.
Can Google Play screenshots have a transparent background?
No. Screenshots and the feature graphic must have no alpha. Only the app icon is a 32-bit PNG with alpha.
