Google Play requires a 512x512 32-bit PNG icon (alpha allowed, up to 1024 KB), a 1024x500 feature graphic (JPEG or 24-bit PNG, no alpha), and at least two screenshots across device types. Screenshots are JPEG or 24-bit PNG, 320 to 3840 px, with the long side no more than twice the short side, and up to 8 per device type. Android XR takes 4 to 8 screenshots at 8:5 (up to 8 MB each), and Android TV apps need a banner. To be eligible for Google's large recommendation formats, an app needs at least four screenshots of 1080 px or more at 16:9 or 9:16. Requirements are mandatory; 'Highly recommended' items affect promotion.
