Getting your App Store screenshot sizes right is crucial. Upload the wrong dimensions, and App Store Connect will reject them. This guide covers every screenshot size you need for all Apple platforms — plus tips to save time. Last checked against Apple's specification on October 7, 2026. For the official requirements, see Apple's screenshot specifications. You can also check your files with our free screenshot validator before uploading them.
Required App Store Screenshot Sizes (Short Answer) #
Most apps need only one or two sets. These are the required App Store screenshot dimensions in 2026, in portrait pixels:
- iPhone: one 6.3-inch set at 1206 × 2622 or 1179 × 2556. App Store Connect calls this slot iPhone with Dynamic Island (medium display).
- iPad (if the app runs on iPad): one 13-inch set at 2064 × 2752 or 2048 × 2732.
- Mac: 2880 × 1800, 2560 × 1600, 1440 × 900 or 1280 × 800.
- iPhone Duo: 1398 × 2034 (outer display) or 2007 × 2853 (inner display), required for every submission from April 2027.
Landscape uses the same numbers reversed. Every other iPhone and iPad class, including 6.9-inch at 1320 × 2868, is optional: App Store Connect scales your required set to fill them.

All App Store Screenshot Dimensions #
Here's a complete table of the screenshot sizes App Store Connect accepts, and which ones are required:
iPhone Screenshots #
| Display class | App Store Connect name | Accepted portrait sizes (pixels) | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone Duo | iPhone Duo | 1398 x 2034 (outer display) or 2007 x 2853 (inner display) | Accepted now; required for every submission from April 2027 |
| 6.3" | iPhone with Dynamic Island (medium display) | 1179 x 2556 or 1206 x 2622 | Primary set for iPhone apps |
| 6.9" | iPhone with Dynamic Island (large display) | 1260 x 2736, 1290 x 2796, or 1320 x 2868 | Optional |
| 6.5" | iPhone with Face ID (large display) | 1242 x 2688 or 1284 x 2778 | Optional |
| 6.1" | iPhone with Face ID (medium display) | 1080 x 2340, 1125 x 2436, or 1170 x 2532 | Optional; Apple scales from 6.3" |
| 5.5" | iPhone with Home Button (large display) | 1242 x 2208 | Optional |
| 4.7" | iPhone with Home Button (medium display) | 750 x 1334 | Optional |
| 4" | iPhone with Home Button (4" display) | 640 x 1136 (with status bar) or 640 x 1096 | Optional |
| 3.5" | iPhone with Home Button (3.5" display) | 640 x 960 (with status bar) or 640 x 920 | Optional |
Landscape screenshots use the same accepted sizes with width and height reversed. For a current iPhone app, provide one complete set in either accepted 6.3-inch size. App Store Connect derives the smaller display classes when you do not supply custom sets.
New in October 2026: the required iPhone set moved from 6.9-inch to 6.3-inch, at 1206 x 2622 or 1179 x 2556. The 6.9-inch and 6.5-inch sets are optional now, and App Store Connect names iPhone slots by device feature instead of inches. The iPhone 18 Pro captures at 1206 x 2622, so its native screenshots are a valid primary set. The iPhone 18 Pro Max captures at 1320 x 2868, which fits the optional 6.9-inch slot, not the required one. The iPhone Duo is its own entry, at 1398 x 2034 for the outer display and 2007 x 2853 for the inner display. App Store Connect accepts iPhone Duo uploads now, and starting April 2027 every app or game submitted needs iPhone Duo screenshots. See the iPhone Duo screenshot sizes for details.
Which iPhone Gives Which Size #
Screenshots come out of the Simulator or a device at native resolution, so the phone you capture from decides which slot the file fits:
| Capture from | Native size (portrait) | Lands in |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 18 Pro, 17 Pro, 17, 16 Pro | 1206 x 2622 | 6.3", required set |
| iPhone 16, 15 Pro, 15, 14 Pro | 1179 x 2556 | 6.3", required set |
| iPhone 18 Pro Max, 17 Pro Max, 16 Pro Max | 1320 x 2868 | 6.9", optional |
| iPhone 16 Plus, 15 Pro Max, 15 Plus, 14 Pro Max | 1290 x 2796 | 6.9", optional |
| iPhone Air | 1260 x 2736 | 6.9", optional |
| iPhone 14 Plus, 13 Pro Max | 1284 x 2778 | 6.5", optional |
| iPhone 17e, 16e, 14, 13 | 1170 x 2532 | 6.1", optional |
The simplest rule: capture from the iPhone 17, 17 Pro or 18 Pro simulator and you have the required set at 1206 x 2622 with no scaling. A Pro Max capture is not enough on its own.
Two surprises in Apple's classes. The iPhone Air sits in the 6.9-inch class even though its screen is smaller than a Pro Max, because Apple classes by resolution family rather than diagonal. And the iPhone 11 and XR are in the 6.5-inch class despite a native resolution of 828 x 1792, which is not an accepted size at all, so a capture from either has to be scaled to 1242 x 2688 before App Store Connect takes it.
Should You Provide the Optional iPhone Sizes? #
Almost never. A scaled set is what most apps show on other iPhones, and the difference is invisible at product-page size. Provide a separate 6.9-inch or 6.1-inch set only when small captions get hard to read after scaling, when you want a different screen order on larger phones, or when you run a product page optimization test and want to control exactly what each device sees. The 5.5-inch and smaller slots only show to people on iPhone 8 and the second-generation SE or older; with a deployment target of iOS 17 or later, they never show to anyone.
iPad Screenshots #
| Display class | Accepted portrait sizes (pixels) | Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| 13" | 2064 x 2752 or 2048 x 2732 | Required when the app runs on iPad |
| 11" | 1488 x 2266, 1640 x 2360, 1668 x 2388, or 1668 x 2420 | Optional; Apple scales from 13" |
| 10.5" | 1668 x 2224 | Optional |
| 9.7" | 1536 x 2008 or 1536 x 2048 | Optional |
Landscape screenshots use the corresponding reversed dimensions. An existing 2048 x 2732 iPad Pro set remains accepted for the current 13-inch class. For the device-to-class mapping and which simulator to capture from, see the iPad screenshot sizes guide.
Mac Screenshots #
| Display | Size (pixels) |
|---|---|
| Mac (16:10 aspect ratio) | 1280 x 800, 1440 x 900, 2560 x 1600, or 2880 x 1800 |
Apple accepts exactly these four sizes. 2880 x 1800 gives the sharpest result on Retina displays.
Apple Watch Screenshots #
| Device | Size (pixels) |
|---|---|
| Apple Watch Ultra 4 / Ultra 3 | 422 x 514 |
| Apple Watch Ultra 2 / Ultra | 410 x 502 |
| Apple Watch Series 12 / 11 / 10 | 416 x 496 |
| Apple Watch Series 9 / 8 / 7 | 396 x 484 |
| Apple Watch Series 6 / 5 / 4 / SE 3 / SE 2 / SE | 368 x 448 |
| Apple Watch Series 3 / 2 / 1 | 312 x 390 |
Use the same Apple Watch screenshot size consistently across every localization for the app.
Apple TV Screenshots #
| Resolution | Size (pixels) |
|---|---|
| 4K / 1080p | 1920 x 1080 |
| 4K (full) | 3840 x 2160 |
Apple Vision Pro Screenshots #
| Type | Size (pixels) |
|---|---|
| Standard | 3840 x 2160 |
How Many Screenshots Can You Upload? #
- Minimum: 1 screenshot per device size
- Maximum: 10 screenshots per device size
- Recommended: 4-8 screenshots that tell a compelling story
Screenshot Format Requirements #
All screenshots must meet these specifications:
- Format: PNG or JPEG (PNG recommended for quality)
- Color space: sRGB or P3
- No alpha/transparency: Fully opaque images only
- No rounded corners: Apple adds these automatically
Portrait or landscape? Apple accepts either orientation in every slot, but the first three screenshots appear in search results, and portrait ones take up more of the screen there. Unless your app is landscape-only, use portrait.
Common Mistakes to Avoid #
1. Wrong Aspect Ratio #
Screenshots must match exact pixel dimensions. Even being off by a few pixels will cause rejection.
2. Including Device Bezels Incorrectly #
If you add device frames, ensure the inner screenshot matches the expected resolution.
3. Forgetting the Primary Sets #
Provide an accepted 6.3-inch iPhone set. If the app runs on iPad, also provide an accepted 13-inch iPad set. Smaller display classes can be scaled from those primary sets. Starting April 2027, every iPhone submission also needs iPhone Duo screenshots.
4. Low Resolution Exports #
Always export at the exact pixel dimensions — never upscale from smaller images.
5. A Size From the Wrong iPhone Class #
A 1320 x 2868 Pro Max capture dropped into the required 6.3-inch slot is refused at upload, and so is an 828 x 1792 iPhone 11 or XR capture anywhere. See the rejection guide for the full list.
The Easy Way: Use Screenshot Studio #
Manually creating screenshots for every device size is tedious and error-prone. The App Store screenshot generator in Screenshot Studio eliminates this pain:
- Auto-generates all required sizes from a single design
- Supports every platform: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch, TV, Vision Pro, and Android
- Exports in the correct format ready for App Store Connect
- Uploads directly to App Store Connect — no manual uploading
Instead of juggling dozens of export presets, design once and let Screenshot Studio handle the rest.
