App listing elements
To ensure a comprehensive and attractive app listing, include the following essential elements:
- App Name: Distinct and descriptive, reflecting your app's functionality.

App name
The app name should be unique and clearly related to what your app accomplishes. For detailed guidelines, refer to our App Design Guidelines.
App logo
Design a logo that not only represents your brand but also stands out in the marketplace to grab user attention.
App visuals
Visuals play a crucial role in storytelling for your app. They should be clear and descriptive, providing an easy understanding of what your app does and how it benefits users. Utilize our public template for designing app screenshots effectively.
Visual requirements
- Quantity: At least one, but no more than six screenshots or videos.
- File Types and Sizes:
- PNG or GIF images (up to 8MB)

- Naming: Use a clear file naming convention, such as "screenshot-1.png", ordered by appearance in the listing.
- Design Considerations:
- Avoid white or light gray backgrounds that could blend with the marketplace environment.
- Ensure images include impactful copy explaining the app’s utility and value, limiting text to 1–2 lines and no more than 20% of the image area.
