The documentation here relates to the Images & Multimedia tab:

Use the Images & Multimedia tab to submit a collection of images that Amazon will use to represent your app in its Appstore listing and for promotional purposes. Each image asset has unique specifications and guidelines detailed in the tabbed documentation sections below. Additionally, all images must adhere to the Amazon Appstore Content Policy Requirements, which includes obtaining any rights or licenses for media with intellectual property protection.

Image Asset Guidelines

The Images & Multimedia tab has two sections:

Tablet and Phone Assets: Image assets required for the Appstore display on tablets, phones, and website.
Fire TV Assets: Image assets required for the Appstore display on Fire TV.

Tablet and Phone Assets

Icons (Required)

Two icons are required – 114 x 114px (small icon), and 512 x 512px (large icon). Both are used to represent your app throughout the Amazon Appstore and on Amazon devices, so use high quality images. The small icon can be a simplified version of the large icon's design that looks better in thumbnail size, or both icons can simply be the same design. The icons will be scaled down to a smaller size.

Icon specifications:

Small icon size: 114 x 114px
Large icon size: 512 x 512px
Format: PNG (transparent)

Here's a sample small icon (114px x 114px) in the context of the Appstore:

Here's a sample large icon (512px x 512px) in the context of the Appstore:

Do not just scale up the PNG image of your icon — doing so results in a blurry image.

Design Best Practices

DO:

Use original assets. App icons should reflect original graphic assets related to your app.
Use contrast. Contrast will make the app icon distinct even when it is scaled down.
Use balance. Use imagery that has a sufficient amount of white space.
Use fewer subjects. Fewer characters in app icons is preferred.

DO NOT:

Use wrong assets. There should be no marketing slogs or studio badging. Only logos or key art.
Make it illegible. Do not overlap logos on major characters or on a busy background.
Apply wrong styling. Key art should go to the edge of the image. Do not include borders or rounded corners.

Note: With Android APKs, there are actually three versions of the app's icon. In addition to the 114 x 114px and 512 x 512px icons describe above, you also have the standard Android icon referenced from within the app's manifest (android:icon="@drawable/icon_name").

Screenshots (Required)

Screenshots show images from your app to give users a better sense of what your app offers. Include a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 10 screenshots. For details on taking screenshots, see Taking screenshots on Fire devices.

Specifications:

Size: Depending on the devices you are targeting, allowable image sizes are as follows:
- 800px × 480px
- 1024px × 600px
- 1280px × 720px
- 1280px × 800px
- 1920px × 1200px
- 2560px × 1600px
Format: PNG or JPEG (landscape or portrait mode)

Design Best Practices:

DO:

Use cinematic imagery. Use imagery that is engaging and has a pleasing composition.
Use different scenes. Use screen stills that display different scenes of the app.
Use character-centric imagery. Use imagery that includes major characters or notable content.
Show logical progression. Highlight the app’s most interesting features in a logical progression that mimics a typical user’s experience. Begin at the broadest area of user interaction (for example, the main menu), comprehensively document the app’s main feature(s), and explore the app’s peripheral features, menus, and settings.
Focus on core functionality. Focus on the app’s core functionality, while touching on one or two of its less prominent features.

DO NOT:

Use contextual imagery. Do not use photographs of someone using the app. Only show the app itself.
Display wrong platform. Screenshots should reflect the app experience on the TV and not additional devices.
Show personal information. If your screenshots will display personal information (such as account names, login information, or social networks), populate the fields with dummy information.

Promotional Image (Optional)

The Promotional Image is used to promote your image in select placements. The Promotional Image should not be a screenshot but rather an attractive representation of your app that includes your app’s name. It must be easily read in a scaled-down version.

Specifications:

Size: 1024 x 500px
Format: PNG or JPEG (landscape)

Design Best Practices:

DO:

Emphasize your brand. Include the title of your app and a strong visual image to reinforce the brand, form, or function of the app.
Keep it legible. The entire image should be legible when scaled down to 300 x 146px.

DO NOT:

Crowd the edges. All text should be at least 50px from any edge.
Include redundant content. Do not include any content that is presented elsewhere in the shopping experience, such as price, screenshots, descriptive text, ratings, or buttons.

Video (Optional)

You can include up to 5 videos related to your app. If you upload more than one video, only the first video is shown to customers on the Appstore website. However, all of the videos will be available when customers view they your store listing on devices.

Specifications:

Size: 720 x 1080px wide (4:3 or 16:9)
Format: MPEG-2, WMV, QuickTime, FLV, AVI, H.264 MPEG-4
Bitrate: 1200 kbps or higher
Duration: Duration no longer than 60 minutes (3600 seconds)

Design Best Practices:

DO:

Demo the app. Eliminate visual and audio distractions that are unrelated to the content of your app. If possible, capture video output directly from your app.
Make it professional. If capturing video by using a camera, use a tripod and maximize the visibility of your app by avoiding harsh glare and reflections.
Reflect the user experience. You may insert additional text, audio, and images into your videos, but the video must showcase/demo the app content and remain relevant to the actual user experience.

DO NOT:

Show personal information. If the app requires you to input personal information (such as account names, log-in information, or social-network feed), populate the fields with dummy information.
Exclude Amazon devices. Videos must not feature a device or operating system that is not supported by Amazon without also featuring one that is (for example, if iOS is shown or mentioned, Android must be as well).

Note: If the file size of a single video is greater than 150MB, you must upload the video via SFTP. On the Images and Multimedia tab, click SFTP instructions and naming convention for details.

Fire TV Assets

App Icon (Required)

The App Icon appears within a row of other app icons in the Fire TV user interface.

Specifications:

Size: 1280 x 720px
Format: PNG (no transparency)

Here's a sample App Icon:

Fire TV Context:

The App Icon appears on Fire TV in the following context:

Content Safe Area:

The following badges may appear superimposed on the App Icon:

To ensure your App Icon looks good even with badging (download icons, progress bars, etc.), place your main subject and title art within the content safe area. Artwork that falls outside of the safe area may be covered by badges.

Imagery may be obscured by opaque badging elements.

Imagery may be obscured by translucent or typographic UI elements.

Imagery is safe.

The 882 x 448px area represents where the main subject and title art are safe.

Design Best Practices:

Follow these guidelines when designing your App Icon:

DO:

Use original assets. App icons should reflect the original developer-submitted assets.
Use contrast. Contrast will make the app icon distinct even when it is scaled down.
Use balance. Use imagery that has a sufficient amount of white space.
Use fewer subjects. Fewer characters in app icons is preferred.

DO NOT:

Use wrong assets. There should be no marketing slogs or studio badging. Only logos or key art.
Make it illegible. Do not overlap logos on major characters or on a busy background.
Apply wrong styling. Key art should go to the edge of the image. Do not include borders or rounded corners.

If you don't provide the required Fire TV assets, Fire TV will apply a default creative treatment to the images to scale them to fit the required spaces. For example, if the required image size is larger than any available images you've submitted, your image will be placed on top of background image that fills the space correctly.

Screenshots (Required)

Specifications:

Size: 1920 x 1080px (landscape)
Format: JPG or 24-bit PNG (no transparency)

Here's an example screenshot from the Amazon Music app:

Fire TV Context:

The following image shows screenshots in the context of the Fire TV UI:

Content Safe Area

Screenshots aren't covered by badging, so you don't have to worry about placing content inside a safe area.

Design Best Practices:

DO:

Use cinematic imagery. Use imagery that is engaging and has a pleasing composition.
Use different scenes. Use screen stills that display different scenes of the app.
Use character-centric imagery. Use imagery that includes major characters or notable content.
Show logical progression. Highlight the app’s most interesting features in a logical progression that mimics a typical user’s experience. Begin at the broadest area of user interaction (for example, the main menu), comprehensively document the app’s main feature(s), and explore the app’s peripheral features, menus, and settings.
Focus on core functionality. Focus on the app’s core functionality, while touching on one or two of its less prominent features.

DO NOT:

Use contextual imagery. Do not use photographs of someone using the app. Only show the app itself.
Display wrong platform. Screenshots should reflect the app experience on the TV and not additional devices.
Show personal information. If your screenshots will display personal information (such as account names, login information, or social networks), populate the fields with dummy information.

Tip: To take screenshots of your app on Fire devices, see Taking Screenshots on Fire Devices.

Background Image (Required)

When users scroll across your app from a browse page, the Background Image appears in the upper-right corner of a mini-detail page.

Specifications:

Size: 1920 x 1080px (landscape)
Format: JPG or 24-bit PNG (no transparency)

The following is an example of a Background Image:

Fire TV Context

The Background Image appears on Fire TV in the following context:

The Background Image without highlighting

When users click your app icon, the Background Image can also fill the entire background.

Content safe area:

The main focus element of the image must be placed within the content safe area. Artwork that falls outside of the safe area might be covered by UI elements.

Imagery may be clipped here.

Imagery may be obscured by opaque elements.

Imagery may be obscured by translucent or typographic UI elements.

Imagery is safe.

The 1214 x 830px area represents where the main subject of the image should be placed.

Design Best Practices:

DO:

Use cinematic imagery. Use imagery that is engaging and has a pleasing composition.
Use relevant imagery. Use imagery that is relevant to the app experience. Don't show a person using the app, the controller, the TV, or the surrounding room. Just show the app itself.
Use different imagery. When possible, use different imagery than the app icon.
Use character-centric imagery. Use imagery that includes major characters or notable content.
Place subject right. The main subject should be to the right side of the image when possible.

DO NOT:

Place subject left. The main subject should not be on the left side because the UI may obscure it.
Crop heads and faces. Use the safe zones to verify placement of heads and faces.
Embed logos or titles. Logos and titles should not be in the background.
Use busy imagery. Do not use imagery that has too many subjects or fine detail.
Show other platforms. Amazon Appstore offers many apps that also exist on other platforms (smartphones, tablets, competitor devices). Assets should reflect the experience of the app on Fire TV.

Recent Enhancements to Images & Multimedia tab

The Images & Multimedia tab has recently been enhanced with a better user interface for uploading images. The following short clips demonstrate the new features. Note that these videos are silent and last only about 30 seconds each. The images are generic. For more details, see Revamped Experience to Add App Descriptions and Multimedia Assets.

Drag and Drop Files in Bulk

You can select multiple media assets at once and either drag and drop them into the Submission UI or upload them through the upload dialog box. When you upload an asset, the asset is saved automatically.

Rearrange and Bulk-delete Screenshots

In the screenshots section, you can rearrange the images in the order you want, or delete them in bulk.

Upload Assets Asynchronously

While the assets are being uploaded on one tab, you can switch to other localized media tabs and continue uploading without waiting for the previous uploads to complete. When you click "Add Localized Media" to add a new locale for your assets, for convenience the assets from the previous tab are automatically copied over. You can either keep the copied-over assets or delete them and upload new assets.

Preview Media in Appstore

You can preview the images as they will appear in your app's listing in the Appstore. The Preview modal gives a simulation of your app's media in the Appstore. (The video doesn't appear in the preview, but you can click your upload video to see it play in a new tab.)

Upload Assets for Your App's Locale Only

If your app is available only in a specific locale (such as Japan), you don't need to provide an English version of your media assets (as was previously required). Your selections on the Availability & Pricing tab determine which assets you're prompted for on the Images & Multimedia tab. For example, if you're just releasing your app to Japan, you can select Japan on the Availability & Pricing tab; when you go to the Images & Multimedia tab, you see Japan as a tab to upload your media. You don't have to also upload English assets.
