App Store Screenshot Sizes (2026): iPhone & iPad Pixel Guide
Every iPhone app needs at least one screenshot for iPhone with Dynamic Island (medium display), at 1206 × 2622 or 1179 × 2556 pixels in portrait. If the app also runs on iPad, add at least one 13-inch iPad screenshot at 2064 × 2752 or 2048 × 2732; App Store Connect scales these sets down for every smaller display.
Which App Store screenshot sizes are required?
App Store Connect now names iPhone sections by device type instead of inches. The only required iPhone section is iPhone with Dynamic Island (medium display), the 6.3-inch class used by iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro. It accepts 1206 × 2622 or 1179 × 2556 in portrait and the same sizes rotated in landscape.
The 6.9-inch size many guides still list as primary (1320 × 2868) now belongs to the optional iPhone with Dynamic Island (large display) section. A Pro Max capture on its own does not satisfy the requirement.
If your app supports iPadOS, the iPad 13-inch display section is also required (2064 × 2752 or 2048 × 2732).
Scaling: when your UI is the same across device sizes and localizations, you only need the highest required resolution. App Store Connect scales it down for smaller displays. Upload a separate set only if you want different screenshots on a specific device class.
Coming next: iPhone Duo has its own outer and inner display sections. Apple will require them from April 2027 for apps built with the iOS 27.1 SDK or later, and they are never filled by scaling.

iPad screenshot sizes for the App Store
Only needed if your app runs on iPad. Upload a 13-inch set and the smaller iPad sections are filled by scaling. A 2048 × 2732 set from an older 12.9-inch iPad Pro is still accepted in the 13-inch section.

Mac, Apple TV, Vision Pro and Apple Watch sizes
Each platform needs its own screenshots if your app ships there. These are never scaled from iPhone or iPad sets.
| Platform | Accepted sizes (px) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mac | 2880 × 1800, 2560 × 1600, 1440 × 900, 1280 × 800 | 16:10 only. 2880 × 1800 is the sharpest option. |
| Apple TV | 3840 × 2160, 1920 × 1080 | 16:9 landscape. |
| Apple Vision Pro | 3840 × 2160 | Single accepted size. |
| Apple Watch | 422 × 514, 410 × 502, 416 × 496, 396 × 484, 368 × 448, 312 × 390 | Ultra 3/4: 422 × 514. Ultra/Ultra 2: 410 × 502. Series 10–12: 416 × 496. Series 7–9: 396 × 484. Series 4–6/SE: 368 × 448. Series 1–3: 312 × 390. Use one size across all localizations. |
App Store screenshot file requirements
- At least 1 and up to 10 screenshots per display size.
- Formats: .jpeg, .jpg or .png.
- No alpha channel or transparency. Flatten PNGs onto an opaque background before export.
- Export in RGB (sRGB or Display P3).
- Portrait or landscape are both accepted; landscape uses the same sizes with width and height swapped.
- Pixel size must match an accepted size for the section exactly. Close is not enough.
- If your UI is the same across sizes and languages, upload only the highest required resolution and App Store Connect scales it down.
- Screenshots must follow the App Store Review Guidelines.
Common upload errors and how to fix them
"The dimensions of one or more screenshots are wrong"
The file does not match any size accepted by the section you dropped it into. A 1320 × 2868 Pro Max capture is valid only in iPhone with Dynamic Island (large display); the required medium display section wants 1206 × 2622 or 1179 × 2556. Check the file's real pixel size, then move it or re-export.
PNG rejected even though it looks opaque
The PNG still has an alpha channel. Export without transparency (flatten onto a solid background) or save as JPEG. A solid-looking background does not remove the channel.
Capture from iPhone 11 or XR is rejected everywhere
These devices capture at 828 × 1792, which is not an accepted size. Scale to 1242 × 2688 for the Face ID (large display) section, or capture from an iPhone 17 simulator to get 1206 × 2622 directly.
Framed mockup comes out a few pixels off
Design tools often add or trim a pixel when exporting at fractional scales. Set the artboard to the exact accepted size and export at 1x.
Screenshots flagged during review
Screenshots must follow the App Store Review Guidelines: show the app in use rather than only splash or login screens, and do not show another platform's device or UI. Keep marketing text accurate to what the app does.
iPad set uses stretched iPhone screens
Provide real iPad captures for the 13-inch set. An iPhone screen scaled up to 2064 × 2752 misrepresents the iPad experience.
How many screenshots to upload, and in what order
- Screenshot 1 does most of the work. The first few appear in search results, so lead with the core outcome of the app, not onboarding or a logo.
- Give each screenshot one feature and one short headline. If a headline needs two lines on a phone, cut it.
- Order by what drives installs: main value first, then the two or three features people compare you on, then trust signals such as integrations or privacy.
- 5 to 8 screenshots is enough for most apps. Use slots 9 and 10 only if each one shows something new.
- Use portrait unless the app is used sideways. Portrait takes more space in search results.
- Make sure headlines are readable after App Store Connect scales your 6.3-inch set down to smaller iPhones.
Skip the resizing
Upload raw captures and AppMockup exports framed, captioned screenshots at accepted App Store sizes. Use the iPhone & iPad screenshot generator, or start from the App Store screenshot generator home page. Publishing on Android too? See the Google Play screenshot sizes guide.
App Store screenshot size FAQ
What is the required iPhone screenshot size for the App Store in 2026?
App Store Connect requires at least one screenshot in the "iPhone with Dynamic Island (medium display)" section. It accepts 1206 × 2622 or 1179 × 2556 pixels in portrait, or 2622 × 1206 and 2556 × 1179 in landscape. This is the 6.3-inch class used by iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro.
Is 1320 × 2868 still accepted?
Yes, but only in the "iPhone with Dynamic Island (large display)" section, which is now optional. If you drop a 1320 × 2868 file into the required medium display section, App Store Connect rejects it as the wrong size. Export a 1206 × 2622 set for the required section.
What size are iPad screenshots for the App Store?
If your app runs on iPad, you must provide at least one screenshot for the iPad 13-inch display: 2064 × 2752 or 2048 × 2732 pixels in portrait (2752 × 2064 or 2732 × 2048 in landscape). Smaller iPad sizes are scaled from this set.
Do I need screenshots for every iPhone size?
No. If your interface looks the same across devices, upload only the highest required resolution and App Store Connect scales it down for smaller iPhones. Upload extra sets only when you want a different layout or order on a specific device class.
How many screenshots can I upload to the App Store?
At least 1 and up to 10 screenshots per display size. You can also provide separate sets per localization. In practice, 5 to 8 screenshots that each show one feature cover most apps.
Should App Store screenshots be PNG or JPEG?
Both .png and .jpeg/.jpg are accepted. PNG keeps text and UI edges sharp. Whichever you use, the image cannot contain an alpha channel or transparency, so flatten PNGs onto an opaque background before exporting.
Can I upload landscape App Store screenshots?
Yes. Every section accepts landscape files using the same accepted sizes with width and height swapped, for example 2622 × 1206. Use landscape only if your app is used sideways, such as games or video apps; portrait screenshots take up more space in search results.
What are the iPhone Duo screenshot sizes?
iPhone Duo has its own sections: 1398 × 2034 for the outer display and 2007 × 2853 for the inner display. Apple will require them from April 2027 for apps built with the iOS 27.1 SDK or later, and App Store Connect does not scale other sizes into them.
