Microsoft Edge Add-ons Image Sizes (2026)

I read Microsoft's publishing guide for Edge extensions on 9 November 2026. I also checked the store listings of nine popular Edge extensions to see what they upload.

This post covers every image, the text beside them and how to reuse your Chrome artwork.

Edge extensions are published through Microsoft Partner Center. The rules for each image are in Microsoft's guide to publishing an Edge extension on Microsoft Learn.

Your images don't go inside your extension package. The package holds the manifest file and your extension's own files. The logo, tiles and screenshots are uploaded separately, on the Details page for each language.

That matters when you update. To change the listing images, you edit the Details page. To change the extension's name or short description, you must upload a new package, because those come from the manifest.

Here's the full set in one table.

So only the logo is required. Everything else is optional, but an empty listing gives people little reason to install.

The logo is the one image you can't skip. Microsoft asks for one for every language listed in your extension's package.

It must be square, with a 1 to 1 aspect ratio. Microsoft recommends 300 x 300 pixels and sets a minimum of 128 x 128.

The logo can be your company's logo or your extension's own. For most extensions, the extension's icon is the better choice, since it matches what people see in their toolbar.

You don't need to upload it again for every language. After the first upload, a Duplicate option below the field copies the logo to all your other languages.

Design at 300 x 300, since that's Microsoft's recommended size. Then check how it looks much smaller.

The store shows your logo in lists and search results, often at a small size. So fine lines and small text can turn into a blur.

A few habits help.

1. 1Use one simple shape that people can recognize.
2. 2Pick strong contrast between the shape and its background.
3. 3Leave a little space around the edges, so nothing touches the border.
4. 4Skip words, unless they're part of a well known brand.

Before you upload, shrink your file to 128 x 128. If it still reads clearly, it'll work everywhere.

In my sample of nine popular extensions, six logo files were 300 x 300. Two were 150 x 150, and one was 512 x 512.

Microsoft accepts screenshots at exactly two sizes. Each one has a different shape.

Choose 1280 x 800 if you can. It's larger and sharper, and it's the size most popular extensions use, as you'll see below.

The 16 to 10 shape also matches many laptop screens. A capture of a full browser window on one of them fits the frame neatly.

Don't upload a screenshot in any other size. The guide says the size must be one of these two.

You can add up to 6 screenshots. Microsoft says they should describe your extension's features in detail.

That's one more than the Chrome Web Store allows. So if you're moving from Chrome, you've got room for one extra picture.

Use each screenshot to show one thing. Start with the main feature working on a real page. Then show the settings, and finish with anything extra.

Like the logo, screenshots have a Duplicate option. After you upload at least one, you can copy it to every other language in your listing.

To see the rules in practice, I opened the store data for nine popular Edge extensions on 9 November 2026. Each listed between 2.6 million and 15.2 million installs.

Eight of the nine showed screenshots. Only Bitwarden used all 6. Four stopped at exactly 5, which is the Chrome Web Store's limit, so that may be a habit carried over from Chrome.

Those nine listings served 35 screenshots between them. I measured each file.

Most were 1280 x 800, which matches today's rule. But nine of the 35 didn't match either accepted size.

I can't tell why from the outside. They may be older uploads, made before the current rule, or files the store resized. Either way, new uploads should stick to 640 x 480 or 1280 x 800.

None of the 35 screenshots had a caption in the store data.

The small promotional tile is optional. Its size must be exactly 440 x 280 pixels.

Microsoft says the store uses it to display your extension alongside other extensions. So it's the image people may see when they browse a group of extensions, not just your own page.

Design it to work at a glance. Your logo, your extension's name and a clean background are usually enough.

Keep the text short. At this size, a long sentence is hard to read. You can upload one tile per language, or copy one to every language with the Duplicate option.

The large promotional tile is also optional. It must be a PNG file at exactly 1400 x 560 pixels.

Microsoft says it's used to display your extension more prominently on the Edge Add-ons website. If you upload one, users can see it.

That shape is wide, at 2.5 to 1. It suits a bold banner with your logo on one side and a short line of text on the other.

Make sure it still looks right if the store crops or scales it. Keep the important parts away from the edges.

You can add a YouTube video to your listing. It's optional, and you add it as a link, not as a file.

Microsoft says the video's URL and thumbnail appear on your store listing page. So the thumbnail works like one more image, and it's worth choosing with care.

In my sample of nine, two listings had a video: Bitwarden and Tampermonkey. The other seven relied on screenshots alone.

A short video helps most when your extension does something that's hard to show in one still image. For a simple tool, good screenshots may be enough.

Your images sit next to a few text fields, and Microsoft sets rules for each one.

If you don't add a short description in your manifest, Microsoft says the store shows the first few lines of your description instead. It recommends adding one to avoid repeating the same text.

Partner Center also offers a Generate with AI button for the description. The guide says it looks at your package and any screenshots you've uploaded. You should still read and edit what it writes.

Edge Add-ons treats each language as its own listing. The logo and the description are required for every language in your package.

The other images are optional per language. You can upload different screenshots and tiles for each one, or copy the same files with the Duplicate option.

Translated screenshots help when your extension shows lots of text. A French user will understand a French interface faster than an English one.

If that's too much work, start with your biggest languages. Our guide to localizing store listings covers which parts to translate first.

Edge runs the same kind of extensions as Chrome, so much of your Chrome artwork can move straight across.

The screenshots and both tiles match in size. Only the logo needs a new export, since Edge recommends a larger file.

Our guide to Chrome Web Store image sizes explains the Chrome side in full.

We make PlayMockUp, so weigh this part with that in mind. Our tool frames screenshots in phones and tablets for app stores. It doesn't make 1280 x 800 desktop screenshots.

Most Edge extensions run on desktop, so plain browser screenshots show them best. A phone frame would suggest the wrong device.

There's one case where it helps. If your extension has a companion phone app, such as a password manager, a phone frame can show that side of your product in a promo tile.

You can frame a phone screenshot in our free mockup generator. Then place it inside your 440 x 280 or 1400 x 560 tile design.
