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.
Full spec and an export preset for each: Android phone (1080×1920) and tall 18:9 phone (1080×2160).
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: 7" tablet (1200×1920) and 10" tablet (1600×2560).
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.
