Google Play icon & Play Store icon spec guide
Your Play Store listing icon and your device's adaptive launcher icon are two different assets with two different specs. Here's both, in one place.
Play Store listing icon
| Property | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Size | 512 × 512 px |
| Format | 32-bit PNG (with alpha) |
| Max file size | 1024 KB |
| Where it appears | Play Store search, listing page, category browsing |
This is not your adaptive launcher icon
The 512×512 Play Store icon is a single flat image — a static thumbnail for the store listing. Your actual home-screen launcher icon on Android is an adaptive icon: a separate foreground layer and background layer that the OS composites and masks at runtime. Submitting the same flat 512px file for both will work, but you lose the depth and parallax that adaptive icons support.
Quick reference: which spec applies where
🏬 Play Store listing

📱 Home screen / app drawer
Adaptive icon: foreground + background layers, safe-zone constrained. Read the full breakdown.
🎨 Themed / Material You
A monochrome layer for Android 13+, tinted to match the user's wallpaper.
Frequently asked
What size is the Google Play Store icon?
512×512 pixels, 32-bit PNG with alpha, under 1024 KB — different from your in-app adaptive icon.
Can I reuse the same image for both?
You can reuse the design, but export them separately — the Play Store icon is flat, the adaptive icon is layered.
What about iOS?
iOS uses a different 1024×1024 spec entirely — see our App Store icon size guide.
