Google Play Feature Graphic Maker

The feature graphic is the large banner image (1024×500) displayed at the top of your Google Play Store listing. It is the most prominent visual element on your app page — and many developers either skip it entirely or use a poorly designed placeholder.

What Is a Feature Graphic?

A feature graphic is a 1024×500 pixel promotional banner required by Google Play. It appears:

  • At the top of your Play Store listing (if no video is set)
  • In Google Play search results (on some devices)
  • In Google Play editorial features and collections
  • In promotional placements across Google properties

Why It Matters

  • 60% of your listing's visual space is occupied by the feature graphic on first load
  • Apps with professional feature graphics see 20-30% higher install rates
  • Google's editorial team is more likely to feature apps with polished graphics

How to Create a Feature Graphic with AI

StoreShots generates professional feature graphics in seconds:

  1. Create a new project → select "Feature Graphic"
  2. Enter your headline — the main text that appears on the banner (e.g., "Find the Best Deals Instantly")
  3. Add a subtitle (optional) — supporting text
  4. Choose a style — gradient, dark, vibrant, minimal, nature, tech, luxury, or playful
  5. Select variations — generate 1-4 different designs
  6. Download your favorite in exact 1024×500 dimensions

Design Tips for Feature Graphics

Do:

  • Use a clear headline — 3-6 words that communicate your app's value
  • Match your app's branding — use your app's color palette
  • Keep it simple — the graphic is displayed at various sizes, busy designs lose clarity
  • Use high contrast — text must be readable against the background

Don't:

  • Don't include phone mockups — Google discourages device imagery in feature graphics
  • Don't use screenshots — this is a promotional banner, not a screenshot
  • Don't add too much text — headline + optional subtitle is enough
  • Don't forget localization — consider creating versions for different markets
