Google Play feature graphics are shown in multiple placements. Keep important artwork away from the cutoff edges and inspect the crop before exporting.
Design for the placements around the 1024 × 500 canvas
Google Play feature graphics can appear in several promotional surfaces, so artwork near the edges may not stay visible in every placement. Use crop to fill only when the focal area is deliberate, and keep logos, faces, and essential text inside a generous center-safe region.
JPEG or 24-bit PNG is a destination choice
Google’s current preview-asset guidance requires 1024 × 500 pixels and accepts JPEG or 24-bit PNG for a feature graphic. The preset starts with JPEG for compact output, but the format selector lets you choose PNG when the artwork needs it.
Questions people ask
Does the tool add Google Play branding?
No. It only normalizes the image and checks the canvas. Follow Google Play’s content and metadata policies for the artwork itself.
Why is the safe area only a warning?
Placement crops vary. The tool can make the canvas visible and explain the risk, but the final artwork still needs a human composition review.
