PLAY STORE SIZE REFERENCE

Google Play screenshot sizes, ranges, and a safer export workflow.

Prepare listing images inside Google Play’s accepted technical range, then validate every device category in Play Console. The platform supports flexible dimensions, so aspect, readability, and truthful device-specific content matter as much as one pixel preset.

QUICK ANSWER

Start with the job, then choose the frame.

Google Play screenshots must be JPEG or 24-bit PNG without alpha, with each side between 320 and 3840 pixels; the longest side cannot be more than twice the shortest. Google Play supports up to eight screenshots per supported device type. Confirm current listing requirements in Play Console.

A technical preflight before Play Console

Use this reference after the gallery design is approved to catch range, ratio, file, and device-category problems before upload.

01 / PRACTICAL GUIDANCE

Work inside the accepted image range

Google Play accepts screenshot sides from 320 through 3840 pixels and limits the longest side to twice the shortest. That flexibility allows portrait and landscape sets without prescribing one universal phone dimension.

02 / PRACTICAL GUIDANCE

Use the correct file type and truthful device set

Prepare JPEG or 24-bit PNG files without alpha. Use captures that represent the listed device experience; do not stretch phone UI into tablet, TV, watch, or other category artwork.

03 / PRACTICAL GUIDANCE

Count and quality requirements depend on the listing goal

Google Play supports up to eight screenshots per device type, while promotional eligibility can introduce additional criteria. Use Play Console and current official guidance as the final authority for the release.

REPEATABLE WORKFLOW

Validate a Google Play screenshot export

Check the source, image geometry, and listing category as separate concerns.

  1. Confirm the target device category and use captures from the actual supported experience.
  2. Export each image with both sides in the 320–3840 pixel range and an aspect no more extreme than 2:1.
  3. Use JPEG or opaque 24-bit PNG and inspect text, compression, and edge crops.
  4. Upload to the current Play Console listing and resolve its category-specific checks before release.
