Google Play Screenshot Sizes and Requirements

The rules Google enforces

Google Play's published requirements for screenshots.

• File format: JPEG or 24-bit PNG. Google's parenthetical is explicit — no alpha.
• Minimum dimension: 320px. Maximum dimension: 3840px.
• Aspect ratio: the maximum dimension of your screenshot can't be more than twice as long as the minimum dimension.
• Up to 8 screenshots per supported device type.
• To publish a store listing you need a minimum of two screenshots total.

The aspect-ratio trap: 1080×2400 is invalid

1080×2400 is the native resolution of many Android phones, so it is the first size most developers try. It is 2.22 times taller than it is wide, and Google caps the ratio at 2:1. Play Console rejects it.

1080×2160 is exactly at the 2:1 limit and is valid. So is 1080×1920 (16:9). But other common phone resolutions fail too — 1440×2960, for example, because 2960 is more than twice 1440. Always divide the long side by the short side before exporting.

Shipshot's Android export targets

Both targets satisfy Google's rules as exported.

Tablets and large screens

Phones, 7-inch tablets, and 10-inch tablets are separate device types in Play Console, each with its own 8-screenshot slot. For large screens Google asks for at least 4 screenshots and recommends a 16:9 landscape or 9:16 portrait frame — both well inside the 2:1 cap.

To qualify for certain Play recommendation formats, Google highly recommends at least four phone screenshots at minimum 1080px resolution: 16:9 landscape (at least 1920×1080) or 9:16 portrait (at least 1080×1920). Games need at least three.

How Shipshot handles this

Shipshot exports Android phone and Android 10-inch tablet screenshots inside Google's dimension and aspect-ratio limits, as 24-bit files with no alpha channel and an embedded sRGB profile. You upload them yourself in Play Console, or on Pro and Scale push a saved ZIP into the listing version.
