In manifest file use this :-

<application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
        android:supportsRtl="true"
        android:largeHeap="true"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
</application>

and use .png files instead of .jpg and try to use low size of images.
