Is there some "Feature Graphic" generator for Google Play?

Android Problem Overview


I'm looking for some "Feature Graphic" online generator. Feature Graphic is the big image displayed in the web-based Android Market.

It could be something simple and it could look like one for this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=menion.android.locus

I would input screenshots, title and some slogan and it would generate nice feature graphic. I think many Android developers would appreciate such service.

As of 31st Aug 2014 feature graphic is mandatory and handily there's a generator Created by Litrik De Roy here.

Try Gimp

Or PhotoShop

Both require some degree of experience. But if you're software developer, you need basic graphics manipulation skills anyway.

Solution 3 - Android

Yes it would be a nice service but be careful screenshot in feature graphics are not recommended. See the post on the Android Developer Blog about Feature Graphics http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2011/10/android-market-featured-image.html

I built the feature graphic for my app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.grunewaldsrobots.saskbus with Inkscape http://inkscape.org/ using some of the assets generated from the Asset Studio.

Also a quote from the Android Market Help

> Feature Graphic (Optional): >

  • Use: The featured section in Android Market. Will be downsized to mini or micro.
  • Specs: 1024w x 500h, 24 bit PNG or JPEG (no alpha) with no transparency
  • Tips:
  • Use a safe frame of 924x400 (50 pixel of safe padding on each side). All the important content of the graphic should be within this safe frame. Pixels outside of this safe frame may be cropped for stylistic purposes.
  • If incorporating text, use large font sizes, and keep the graphic simple, as this graphic may be scaled down from its original size.
  • This graphic may be displayed alone without the app icon.
