Display image on search results for chrome extension [closed]

I've just published my first chrome extension to the webstore. However I see that the image shown next to the extension in the search results is just a small low quality version of the 128x128 icon that I uploaded when publishing. Notice how the second extension has a nice high quality image shown:

Here is a list of images that I can supply:

  • Manifest icons sizes: 16x16, 48x48, 128x128
  • Extension icon size 128x128
  • Promotional images sizes: 440x280, 920x680, 1400x560
  • Screenshots sizes: 1280x800 or 640x400

Of these, which is the one that displays in the search results shown in the screenshot above?

I should add, that I published the extension only 2 days ago and while I only uploaded the smallest promotional image, it appears that it has been reviewed and approved as there is no message saying Pending or Rejected on the extension's settings:

How do I see image extensions in Chrome?

To add the View Image extension, visit its page in the Chrome Web Store, click Add to Chrome, and then click Add extension in the following pop-up window. The View Image button should then show up in following Google Image searches.

Why are my images not loading on Chrome?

Clear Chrome Cache and Browsing Data Therefore, it's worth clearing your browser's cache and other data to see if that helps fix your image loading problem. Select the three dots at the top-right corner in Chrome and choose History > History. Select Clear browsing data in the sidebar on the left.

The image in the search results is a shrunk version of the 440x280 promo image.

Since your search result is still showing your icon, padded, I think that your images have not been approved yet. Contrary to what the documentation says, you won't be able to see the review status of your image.

It can take anywhere between a few days and a couple of weeks before the promo image is approved.
