Media Requirements for Android Vending Machines (Video & Image Sizes)

If your vending machine uses an Android screen, you can display promotional videos, product images, advertisements, or brand content directly on the machine. To ensure your media looks professional and plays smoothly, it is important to follow the correct file specifications.

This guide will help you prepare the proper video and image formats for your Android vending machine display.

Videos are ideal for attracting attention and promoting products. For best performance and quality, follow these recommended settings:

Avoid placing important text or logos too close to the edges of the screen.

Some machines may crop slightly or display overlays such as time, icons, or system bars.

Keep key elements within the center area of the design.

✔ Use Bright, High-Contrast Colors

Vending machines are often placed in well-lit areas. High contrast improves visibility.

✔ Use Large, Readable Text

Customers typically view the screen from a distance.

✔ Keep Content Simple

Clear product images and short messages are more effective than crowded designs.

❌ Using landscape (horizontal) videos
❌ Uploading low-resolution images (blurry display)
❌ Using unsupported file formats
❌ Overloading with too much text
❌ Large file sizes causing slow playback
