Google Play Store Icon Requirements
Google Play has specific requirements for your app listing icon, adaptive icon layers, and feature graphic. Meeting these specs ensures your app looks professional on the Play Store and renders correctly across all Android devices. Here is everything you need to know about Google Play icon requirements.
Required Sizes
| Size | Format | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 512x512 | PNG | Play Store high-res icon |
| 1024x500 | PNG/JPG | Feature graphic |
| 192x192 | PNG | Adaptive icon xxxhdpi |
| 108x108 | PNG | Adaptive icon mdpi |
Best Practices
- 1Export the Play Store icon as a 512x512 32-bit PNG (alpha channel is allowed, unlike Apple).
- 2Design your icon with the adaptive icon safe zone in mind — the center 66% of the foreground layer is guaranteed visible.
- 3Create a separate feature graphic (1024x500) with key information centered to survive cropping.
- 4Test your icon with circular, squircle, and rounded-square masks to ensure it looks good across launchers.
Common Mistakes
- Exceeding the 512px or file size limits — the Play Store icon must be exactly 512x512 and under 1024 KB.
- Not designing for adaptive icon masks — the Play Store applies its own circular mask; content near edges gets cropped.
- Placing text or logos at the edges of the feature graphic — different screen sizes crop the 1024x500 image differently.
- Using a transparent background without considering the adaptive icon background layer — it may look hollow on some devices.
