Chrome Web Store Marquee Promo Image

Specs

Where It Appears

The marquee promo is the highest-visibility placement in the Chrome Web Store. It appears as a large hero banner at the top of the store homepage and major category pages. Only extensions selected by the Chrome editorial team receive this placement, but having the image ready is a prerequisite for consideration.

Design Tips

• Think of this as a billboard — bold, simple, and instantly communicative.
• Center the most important content horizontally, since the image may be cropped on narrower viewports.
• Use a strong headline (3–5 words max) and one supporting visual element.
• The wide aspect ratio (5:2) means vertical space is limited — avoid stacking multiple rows of content.
• Include your extension icon for brand recognition, but don't let it dominate.
• Use a gradient or subtle texture background rather than a flat solid color.
• Ensure text contrasts well against the background for legibility.

Common Mistakes

• Placing critical content at the extreme left or right edges where it may be cropped.
• Using a vertical layout that doesn't suit the wide banner format.
• Including tiny text or detailed screenshots that are illegible at this scale.
• Leaving the canvas mostly empty — this is premium real estate, use it effectively.
• Forgetting to upload this image entirely — without it, you cannot be featured at the top level.
