Large-screen Google Play screenshots for tablets and Chromebooks

Google wants tablet and Chromebook screenshots that show the real large-screen experience, not resized phone captures.

Google Play large-screen screenshots are not just phone screenshots resized upward. Tablet and Chromebook visitors should see what the app does with the extra space.

The current Google guidance

For tablets and Chromebooks, Google's preview asset docs say you can upload screenshots between 1080 and 7680 px. They recommend 16:9 for landscape and 9:16 for portrait. For large screens, Google says to add at least four screenshots to demonstrate the in-app experience.

What to capture

  • Real tablet navigation, not a centered phone layout.
  • Split-pane or master-detail screens when available.
  • Keyboard, pointer, or drag-and-drop workflows when they exist.
  • Landscape views for productivity, education, and media apps.

What to avoid

Do not add extra text that can be cut off on Play homepages. Google also warns against device frames for some device categories, and the safer large-screen approach is to show the UI cleanly.
