Complete Google Play Screenshot Size Guide (2026)
Google Play is more flexible about screenshot sizes than the App Store — but that flexibility trips people up. There's no single "required" pixel size; instead Play enforces a set of rules your images must satisfy, plus a threshold that unlocks promotional placement.
Here's the short version: export your Android phone screenshots at 1080×1920 and you'll satisfy every rule and qualify for featuring. The details matter if you support tablets or want tall 18:9 shots.
Google Play Phone Screenshot Sizes
| Type | Dimensions (portrait) | Aspect | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phone | 1080×1920 px | 9:16 | ✅ Recommended — meets the promo threshold |
| Tall phone | 1080×2160 px | 18:9 | Modern edge-to-edge phones |
The rule that matters: every side must be between 320 px and 3840 px, and the longest side can be no more than twice the shortest. 1080×1920 sits comfortably inside both bounds.
Google Play Tablet Screenshot Sizes
| Type | Dimensions (portrait) | Aspect |
|---|---|---|
| 7" tablet | 1200×1920 px | ~5:8 |
| 10" tablet | 1600×2560 px | 5:8 |
Unlike the App Store — which scales your largest iPhone upload down to smaller slots — Google Play does not auto-fill tablet screenshots from phone screenshots. If you want your listing to look right on tablets, you upload a separate tablet set.
What Unlocks Promotional Placement
Google can feature apps across Play. To be eligible, your listing needs phone screenshots that are at least 1080 px on the shorter side in a 16:9 or 9:16 ratio. This is the single best reason to standardize on 1080×1920 — it's the floor for getting featured.
How Many Screenshots Do You Need?
- Minimum: 2 per device type
- Maximum: 8 per device type
- Sweet spot: 4–6, with the first one carrying your strongest value proposition
The first screenshot is what shows in search results and the featured carousel — treat it as your ad, not a UI dump.
The Fastest Approach
- Design for the phone size (1080×1920). This satisfies every rule and the promo threshold.
- If you support tablets, export a 1200×1920 (7") and/or 1600×2560 (10") set.
- Upload 4–6 per type, strongest first.
How to Export at the Right Size
The usual pain: the Android emulator and real devices output whatever their screen resolution is, which rarely matches a clean 1080×1920. Scaling in an image editor introduces blur or the wrong aspect ratio, and Play rejects anything outside the 2× rule.
Screenshot Maker exports PNGs at exact Google Play dimensions — pick the Android phone or tablet size, upload your screenshot, add a headline and background, and export. The output is exactly 1080×1920 (or whichever size you select), no scaling math required.
