Google Play Icon Checker

Drop in a 512 x 512 listing icon. This Google Play icon checker tests size and format against Play Console file rules.

Maintained by Icon Checker

Files stay in your browser. A pass is not Play Console acceptance.

Check this 512 x 512 Play listing icon

This checker reports size, file size, and format against Play Console rules.

  • 512 x 512 dimensions
  • 32-bit RGBA and 1 MiB limit
  • sRGB and transparency evidence

What the Google Play icon checker verifies

The Google Play Icon Checker applies hard checks to the Play Console store listing asset. Transparency is counted but does not fail by itself. Untagged color is a warning because browser Canvas cannot reconstruct the source profile.

How to use the Google Play Icon Checker

Start with the store listing asset you plan to upload in Play Console. The Google Play Icon Checker reads the actual PNG structure instead of trusting the filename or an editor export label.

  1. 1

    Choose the listing icon

    Select the 512 x 512 PNG intended for the Google Play store listing. Do not upload an adaptive icon foreground, background layer, or density-specific Android launcher asset.

  2. 2

    Compare facts with requirements

    This checker measures dimensions, exact bytes, PNG bit depth and color type, sRGB metadata, decoded pixels, and transparency locally in your browser.

  3. 3

    Re-export only what failed

    Each finding shows the measured value, expected value, fix, and official source. Correct the export setting, then check the same listing icon again.

Which Google Play icon this page checks

This rule pack checks the 512 x 512 graphic shown on the Google Play store listing. It is not the Android launcher or adaptive icon, which uses foreground and background layers plus device-specific masks.

What still needs human review

The Google Play Icon Checker measures deterministic file facts; Google Play then applies its own mask and shadow after upload. Transparency is counted as evidence, not failed automatically. Listing composition, brand clarity, and small-size legibility stay as manual review. Adaptive launcher layers are a different Android asset. A pixel heuristic cannot honestly predict Play Console acceptance.

When to use a different checker

The Google Play Icon Checker assumes a Play Console listing graphic, not an iOS App Store source or a website favicon, including a 512 x 512 PWA icon.

  • iOS App Store icon

    Use the Google Play Icon Checker only for the Play listing PNG. The 1024 x 1024 Primary / Any iOS icon has different size and alpha rules and needs its own checker.

    Open iOS App Icon Checker
  • Website favicon

    The Google Play Icon Checker reads a local Play Console file. A 512 x 512 PWA manifest icon is a website file and needs the favicon checker with a public URL.

Problems the Google Play Icon Checker can catch

These checks help separate Play Console listing errors from Android launcher requirements. Keep the asset roles separate and fix the measured export problem first.

The image is not exactly 512 x 512

After returning to the source artwork, export a square 512 x 512 pixel listing icon and run the file through the Google Play Icon Checker. Resizing an already compressed raster file can soften edges and small details.

The PNG exceeds 1,048,576 bytes

Confirm the exact byte result after reducing unnecessary metadata or using lossless PNG optimization. Keep the 512 x 512 canvas and RGBA pixel format instead of relying on a rounded “1 MB” label.

The file is RGB instead of 32-bit RGBA

Export four 8-bit channels with PNG bit depth 8 and color type 6, even when every alpha value is fully opaque.

The color profile is missing or unclear

Convert the source artwork to sRGB and embed a valid profile during export. The checker warns rather than inventing a pass when the original PNG is untagged.

A final circle, squircle, or shadow is baked in

The file can be verified here, but keep important artwork inside the visual safe area without imitating Google Play’s final mask or shadow. The platform applies its own treatment after upload.

A launcher or adaptive icon was tested here

Use this result only for the Play Console listing graphic. Validate launcher foreground, background, monochrome, density, and mask behavior in Android tooling.

Google Play Icon Checker upload checklist

A technical pass is useful only when the result belongs to the correct asset. Use this list to keep the Google Play listing icon and the installed Android app icon from drifting together.

  • Confirm the asset role

    Run the final Google Play store listing icon through the Google Play Icon Checker, not an adaptive icon layer or launcher density asset.

  • Resolve every hard failure

    Confirm 512 x 512 dimensions, valid PNG bytes, 32-bit RGBA, successful decoding, and no more than 1,048,576 bytes.

  • Verify the color export

    For a trustworthy result, use an explicitly tagged sRGB file; re-export when the profile is unknown or not suitable for the listing requirement.

  • Review transparency deliberately

    Transparency is reported as evidence rather than failed automatically. Inspect whether it supports the intended composition.

  • Preview the icon small

    Use the Scale Rail to check whether the mark survives reduced store and device presentations.

  • Test launcher assets separately

    This page does not replace Android Studio or the appropriate Android workflow for adaptive layers, masks, monochrome assets, and launcher rendering.
