Google Play phone screenshots should be 1080×1920 pixels (portrait, 9:16) or 1920×1080 in landscape. Unlike Apple, Google does not enforce one master size; it enforces a range, and 1080×1920 is the size inside that range that looks best in the Play Store carousel and that almost every listing uses. This page has the full limits, the tablet sizes, and the two non-screenshot assets the Play Console asks for that catch people out.

This is the Google Play chapter of our full screenshot size guide. Apple's sizes are on the iPhone and iPad pages.

Recommended sizes by device

The hard limits (what the console actually checks)

• Each side between 320 and 3840 pixels. 1080×1920 sits comfortably inside; a 4K 2160×3840 export is the ceiling.
• Aspect ratio between 16:9 and 9:16. Anything taller than 9:16 is rejected, which is exactly what happens to an iPhone 6.9-inch screenshot.
• JPEG or 24-bit PNG, no alpha channel, max 8 MB per image.
• Minimum 2, maximum 8 phone screenshots. Tablet slots are separate.

Tablet screenshots

Play separates 7-inch and 10-inch tablet slots. The 10-inch recommended size, 1536×2048, is a 3:4 canvas, the same shape as an iPad, so a set composed for iPad translates well here (re-export at the new pixel count; do not upscale). The 7-inch size, 1200×1920, is closer to a phone's 9:16 and can usually share the phone composition. If your app supports tablets, fill both slots: Google's large-screen quality guidelines say listings without proper tablet assets can be ranked lower and excluded from featuring on tablets.

The two assets that aren't screenshots

• Feature graphic: 1024×500, JPEG or 24-bit PNG. Required before you can promote the listing; shown in some browse surfaces and behind the promo video's play button. It is cropped on some surfaces, so keep text and logos away from the edges.
• App icon: 512×512 PNG, max 1 MB, 32-bit with alpha allowed. This is separate from the icon inside your APK or AAB and has to be uploaded again in the console.

Why the App Store set gets rejected

The iPhone 6.9-inch master is 1260×2736, an aspect ratio of about 9:19.5. That is taller than Play's 9:16 ceiling, so the upload fails. Cropping to 9:16 removes roughly 15% of the height, and because most compositions put the headline at the top, that is usually what gets cut. The reliable approach is to re-compose the same design on a 1080×1920 canvas so the headline, device frame, and background are laid out for the shape they will ship in. That is what Storeshot does: the platform and device you choose set the canvas before composition starts, so nothing is cropped afterwards.

Landscape on Google Play

Landscape is fully supported: 1920×1080 for phones is inside the 16:9 limit. As on the App Store, keep one orientation per slot and reserve landscape for apps that run sideways, since the Play Store carousel displays portrait frames larger.
