Marquee promotional tile (1400x560) is included

ab-001352 · extension-store-readiness.screenshot-docs.marquee-tile
Severity: lowactive

Why it matters

The 1400x560 marquee tile is the banner Chrome Web Store uses when featuring an extension in editorial collections or category spotlights. Without it, your extension is ineligible for featured placement — one of the highest-traffic discoverability surfaces in the store. Extensions in featured sections see significantly higher install rates than those found only through search. While not a hard submission blocker, the chrome-cws-marquee-tile recommendation is followed by every extension that achieves meaningful organic growth through store discovery.

Severity rationale

Low because a missing marquee tile forfeits editorial featuring opportunities but does not block submission or break functionality.

Remediation

Create a 1400x560 pixel promotional banner highlighting your extension's primary value proposition. Save it to screenshots/marquee.png.

Design guidance: include the extension icon, name, and one-sentence benefit. Use a color scheme that matches your icon. Tools like Figma (free) have Chrome Web Store marquee templates. The image must be PNG or JPG; keep file size under 1MB. Upload in the store dashboard under Store Listing > Promotional Images.

Detection

  • ID: extension-store-readiness.screenshot-docs.marquee-tile

  • Severity: low

  • What to look for: Count every image file in the store assets directory. Check for a promotional tile image at dimensions 1400x560 pixels. This is the large banner displayed at the top of the extension's store listing.

  • Pass criteria: At least 1 promotional tile image exists at exactly 1400x560 pixels (or documented as a planned asset).

  • Fail criteria: 0 promotional tiles at 1400x560 found.

  • Skip (N/A) when: Never — marquee tiles are recommended for better visibility in the store.

  • Detail on fail: "No marquee promotional tile (1400x560) found in store assets".

  • Remediation: Create a promotional tile at 1400x560 pixels:

    1. Use a design tool (Figma, Canva, Adobe Express)
