What is a Google Play feature graphic?
The feature graphic is the wide image at the top of a Google Play listing. Google Play uses it in the store listing and in promotional placements, sometimes cropping it differently. The standard target is 1024 × 500 px, supplied as JPEG or 24-bit PNG.
| Property | Typical requirement |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | 1024 × 500 px |
| Formats | JPEG or 24-bit PNG |
| Transparency | Avoid — use an opaque image |
| Content | No device frames, store badges or misleading UI |
Google Play can change its graphic requirements. Confirm the current specification in Play Console before uploading.
Fit, Crop or Fill?
Fit
Shows the entire source image and pads the remaining area with your chosen background colour. Best when nothing can be cut off, for example a logo with essential edge detail.
Crop
Scales the image to cover the 1024 × 500 frame and removes the overflow. Use the focus sliders to keep the important part visible. This is the usual choice for a wide marketing image.
Fill
Stretches the image to the exact target, changing its aspect ratio. It is included for completeness but is rarely appropriate because text and artwork can look distorted.
Design tips
- Keep the logo and key message near the centre; promotional crops may remove edges.
- Use a high-resolution source wider than 1024 × 500 so cropping stays sharp.
- Match the padding colour to the artwork so Fit looks intentional.
- Avoid small text that becomes unreadable in a scaled-down listing.
- Export JPEG for photographic artwork and PNG for flat graphics with sharp edges.
Frequently asked questions
What size is a Google Play feature graphic?
The standard target is 1024 × 500 px, supplied as JPEG or 24-bit PNG. This tool renders exactly that size.
Should I use Fit, Crop or Fill?
Use Crop for most marketing artwork because it fills the frame without distorting it. Use Fit when the whole image must remain visible, accepting padding. Avoid Fill unless distortion is intentional.
Is the feature graphic uploaded anywhere?
No. The image is decoded, previewed and exported locally in your browser. No file or pixel data is transmitted.
Can I export PNG or JPEG?
Yes. Choose either format before downloading. PNG is lossless; JPEG includes a quality setting and is smaller for photographic images.
Does this tool guarantee Play Store acceptance?
No. It only creates a correctly sized graphic. Google Play applies content and presentation rules that this tool cannot verify.
