Is the feature graphic required?

Yes. Google Play requires a feature graphic for app listings and uses it across promotional placements.

Should the feature graphic include small text?

Avoid small text and fine details. The graphic is shown at multiple sizes, so use one strong focal point and a short headline.

Checks

The Google Play feature graphic must be exactly 1024 × 500 pixels in JPEG or 24-bit PNG format with no alpha channel. Keep important content within the safe zone (80% of the canvas, avoiding edges). Use one strong focal point, a short headline, and avoid small text or fine details that become illegible at smaller display sizes. The feature graphic is required for all Google Play app listings.

What makes a feature graphic work

The feature graphic is not just a required upload. Google uses it across listing pages, video covers, ads, and recommendation surfaces. It needs to communicate the app category quickly, survive cropping at multiple sizes, and feel connected to your screenshot set.

Feature graphic best practices

One focal point — a single product screenshot, icon, or illustration works best
Short headline — 3-5 words maximum, large enough to read at 50% scale
Safe zone matters — Google crops the graphic differently across surfaces. Keep critical content in the center 80%.
Match your screenshots — use the same color palette and typography as your screenshot set
No small text — anything under 24px at 1024×500 will be unreadable in most placements
No alpha/transparency — must be a solid background, JPEG or 24-bit PNG only

Want the banner and screenshots to match?
