Good image work is less about one perfect setting and more about understanding the destination. This guide gives you a repeatable path and points out the trade-offs worth checking.

Confirm current requirements first

Store specifications, device categories, and policy expectations can change. Check the current official Play Console documentation before final export rather than treating an old template as permanent.

Photo Peanut helps compose and resize assets, but it cannot validate your app’s policy compliance or guarantee listing acceptance.

Build a small visual system

Use a restrained palette, a repeatable type hierarchy, and consistent screenshot framing. Each asset should feel related without repeating the same layout mechanically.

Keep important text away from edges and verify contrast on actual phone screens. Dense captions that look acceptable on a desktop canvas may become unreadable in a store grid.

Feature graphic workflow

Start with a clean background that supports your brand. Place one clear product idea, not a full feature list. Use a representative screenshot or illustration and keep logos crisp.

Export at the currently required dimensions, inspect the file at 100%, and check that no critical content falls into likely crop or overlay areas.

Screenshot preparation

Capture the real product at consistent device dimensions. Crop out accidental personal data, notifications, and test accounts. Add framing or captions only when they help a user understand the feature.

Do not imply functionality the app does not contain. Store graphics are product communication, not permission to fabricate screens.

Icon sources and exports

Keep a high-resolution square master with safe internal padding. Generate delivery sizes from that master rather than upscaling a small launcher icon.

Check rounded-mask behavior in the official tooling. A PNG can be resized locally, but platform-specific adaptive icon layers require a project-aware workflow outside a general image resizer.

Questions people ask

Can Photo Peanut guarantee Play Store acceptance?

No. Confirm current technical and policy requirements in official Play Console documentation.

Should screenshots show real app screens?

Yes. Represent the product accurately and remove accidental personal or test data.

Are resized PNGs adaptive Android icons?

No. Adaptive icons use platform-specific foreground and background resources.
