Feature Graphic Generator: The 1024×500 Banner, Done Right

Pick a layout, drop in your icon or logo, type the headline — export an exactly-1024×500 JPEG/PNG whose text survives search-card thumbnails. Templates reuse the screenshot generator's rendering engine, and every export is validated before download.

Preview + validated export

  • ✓ Exactly 1024 × 500 px: Canvas is exactly 1024×500.
  • ✓ JPEG or 24-bit PNG (no alpha): Format OK — no alpha channel.
  • ✓ No device frames / mockups: No device frame in this layout — matches Google's guidance for feature graphics.
  • ✓ Key text inside the safe central margin: Templates keep headline/logo inside the central ~80% — the graphic is cropped differently in banner vs. search-card placements. Check the thumbnail preview for legibility at small size.

What makes a banner work

The bar is a bold headline with a clear hierarchy (white headline, colored sub-headline, muted tagline), a divider separating logo from text, and breathing room around the mark — not text pasted on a flat color. The Split Divider template approximates exactly that. The classic failure modes are documented in our feature graphic mistakes post.

Where the graphic goes

Play Console → Store presence → Main store listing → Feature graphic. Generate it from the same icon you ship in the app icon generator so the listing looks like one brand, not three.

Frequently asked questions

What are the feature graphic requirements?

Exactly 1024×500 px, JPEG or 24-bit PNG with no alpha. Keep key text and logo inside a safe central margin — the graphic is cropped differently in the listing banner vs. search-card thumbnails.

Can I use device frames in the feature graphic?

Google discourages device mockups here specifically (unlike screenshots). These templates are frameless by design — if a frame variant is ever added, it carries a warning, not a silent pass.

Why does my graphic look fine large but fail small?

Text that reads at full banner size often collapses at search-card size. Every template includes a thumbnail-size preview so you check legibility at the size users actually see first.

Can I reuse my app icon as the logo?

Yes — upload the icon you made in the app icon generator (or any logo mark). If you skip the brand color, the accent defaults to a color sampled from your logo.
