App Store Screenshot Sizes and Dimensions (2026): iPhone, iPad, Mac

Short answer: Apple requires one iPhone set at the 6.3-inch size (1206 × 2622 or 1179 × 2556 px, portrait), which Apple now calls "iPhone with Dynamic Island (medium display)", and, if your app runs on iPad, one 13-inch iPad set (2064 × 2752 or 2048 × 2732 px). Upload 1 to 10 screenshots per size as PNG or JPEG, without transparency. Every other size is optional: App Store Connect scales your largest set down. Mac apps need one of four 16:10 sizes, up to 2880 × 1800 px.

Every number on this page comes from Apple's own screenshot specifications in App Store Connect Help, read on 22 October 2026. Apple renamed the iPhone slots by display type (Dynamic Island, Face ID, Home button) instead of screen size, so the tables give both names: the new one, and the inch name that older guides, tools and many developers still use.

Which App Store screenshot sizes are required in 2026

One detail trips people up. The same Apple page also marks the 6.5-inch size (iPhone with Face ID, large display) as required if you provide no 6.9-inch screenshots. The simplest set that satisfies every line of the page is two iPhone sizes, 6.9-inch (1320 × 2868 px) and 6.3-inch (1206 × 2622 px), plus the 13-inch iPad size if you ship on iPad.

iPhone screenshot sizes and dimensions (every accepted size)

Each row is one screenshot slot in App Store Connect. Any of the listed pixel sizes is accepted for that slot; landscape is the same pair with width and height swapped.

iPhone Duo screenshot size

Apple's page now lists a slot for iPhone Duo, with two displays: 1398 × 2034 px for the outer display and 2007 × 2853 px for the inner display (landscape: 2034 × 1398 and 2853 × 2007). Apple says these screenshots become required in April 2027 for any app built with the iOS 27.1 SDK or later, and a product page with iPhone Duo screenshots shows a badge saying the app is optimized for iPhone Duo.

The 6.9-inch and 6.5-inch screenshot sizes

The searches for "6.9 inch screenshot size" and "6.5 inch screenshot size" are about the two large slots. 6.9-inch is the Dynamic Island large display: 1320 × 2868 px (the iPhone 16 Pro Max screen), 1290 × 2796 px (the iPhone 14 Pro Max, 15 Plus, 15 Pro Max and 16 Plus screens) or 1260 × 2736 px (iPhone Air). 6.5-inch is the Face ID large display: 1284 × 2778 or 1242 × 2688 px. 5.5-inch (1242 × 2208 px, the iPhone 8 Plus generation) is optional; App Store Connect scales it from the 6.1-inch slot.

iPad screenshot sizes for the App Store

If you upload only the 13-inch set, the 12.9-inch and 11-inch slots use scaled copies of it, and the smaller slots follow (details in the scaling section below). Uploading iPhone screenshots alone is not enough for an app that runs on iPad: the 13-inch set is required for it.

Mac App Store screenshot sizes

Mac screenshots are landscape and must have a 16:10 aspect ratio, in one of four sizes: 1280 × 800, 1440 × 900, 2560 × 1600 or 2880 × 1800 px. There is no other Mac size: a screenshot at 1920 × 1080 (16:9) is refused. Use 2880 × 1800 for the sharpest result on Retina displays. More on Mac apps in our Mac App Store screenshot guide.

App Store screenshot requirements: format, number and file rules

• Number: at least 1 and at most 10 screenshots per device size, per language.
• File types: .jpeg, .jpg or .png.
• No transparency: images can't include alpha channels or transparent areas. A PNG exported with an alpha channel is refused even if it looks opaque, so export without alpha (or as JPEG).
• Exact pixels: the file must match one of the sizes in the tables, in the orientation you choose. A design exported at 1x (in points, such as 393 × 852) is not accepted.
• Content: screenshots must follow the App Store Review Guidelines, which App Review checks before approval.
• Apple Watch: the same Watch screenshot size across all localizations.

These are the rules people look for as "app store image requirements" or "app store screenshot guidelines". The app icon and the newer product page assets have their own specifications in App Store Connect Help, separate from screenshots.

How App Store Connect scales screenshots (and which sizes you can skip)

If your interface looks the same on every device size and in every language, you only need the highest required resolution: App Store Connect scales it down for the smaller slots. You can still upload a specific set for any slot or language when you want it to look different. When a slot is empty, Apple uses scaled screenshots from another slot:

In practice: upload the 6.9-inch and 6.3-inch iPhone sets and the 13-inch iPad set, and every other slot is filled for you.

App preview video sizes

App previews are optional videos of 15 to 30 seconds, up to three per device size and language, shown before your screenshots. They have their own accepted resolutions, which are not the screenshot sizes: 886 × 1920 px for every Dynamic Island, Face ID and iPhone Duo slot, 1080 × 1920 px for the 5.5-inch slot, 1200 × 1600 px for the 13-inch, 11-inch and 10.5-inch iPads, and 1920 × 1080 px landscape for Mac and Apple TV. Formats, bit rates and every size are in our App Store app preview video specs.

Google Play screenshot sizes, for comparison

If you ship on Android too, Google Play is far less strict about exact pixels. From Google's preview assets help page:

So one 1080 × 1920 portrait set covers Google Play phones, while the App Store wants its own exact sizes. A 9:16 image fits only the old Home button slots on the App Store: the 6.1-inch and larger iPhone slots are about 19.5:9.

How to make every App Store screenshot size from one design

Making each size by hand means one artboard per slot and per language, and redoing them all when Apple adds a size. Three ways to avoid that:

1. Capture the required sizes and let Apple scale the rest. Take the 6.9-inch and 6.3-inch captures on two simulators; fine if your screenshots are plain captures with no text on top.
2. Design in a tool with one frame per size, such as Figma, and export each frame. Flexible, but every new size means new frames.
3. Use a screenshot generator that exports every size from one design. FrameStudio is a Mac app that does this: you design once with real device frames and it exports the iPhone 6.1", 6.3", 6.5", 6.7" and 6.9" sizes, iPad 11" and 13", or the four Mac sizes as PNG, one folder per size, for every language in the project. The download is free; exporting needs FrameStudio Premium. Compare the options in our App Store screenshot generator guide.

Ready-made layouts help too: start from one of the iPhone screenshot templates or iPad templates, then upload the files as described in how to upload screenshots to App Store Connect.

Why an upload is refused: the usual size mistakes

• Wrong pixel size: the file is close but not exact (a crop, a design exported at 1x or @2x). Check the exact pixels against the tables above.
• Wrong slot: a 1242 × 2688 file dropped into the 6.9-inch slot. Each slot accepts only its own sizes.
• Transparency: a PNG with an alpha channel. Re-export without alpha.
• Mac at 16:9: Mac screenshots must be 16:10.
• Missing iPad set: an app that runs on iPad cannot be submitted without the 13-inch screenshots.

Screenshots are also your best conversion tool on the product page, so the order and the first three frames matter more than the pixel count: see screenshots and ASO.
