App Store Screenshot Sizes 2026: Complete Guide for Every Device
Every iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple TV screenshot dimension for App Store Connect in 2026. Exact pixel sizes, what's required vs optional, and common mistakes to avoid.
TL;DR — You only need two screenshot sizes: iPhone 6.9” at 1260 x 2736 px and iPad 13” at 2064 x 2752 px. App Store Connect auto-scales everything else.
Quick Reference: Required Sizes
| Platform | Display | Pixels (Portrait) | Required? |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone | 6.9” | 1260 x 2736 | Yes |
| iPad | 13” | 2064 x 2752 | Yes (if iPad app) |
| Mac | 16:10 | 2880 x 1800 | Yes (if Mac app) |
| Apple Watch | Ultra 3 | 422 x 514 | Yes (if Watch app) |
| Apple TV | 4K | 3840 x 2160 | Yes (if TV app) |
| Vision Pro | — | 3840 x 2160 | Yes (if Vision app) |
Everything else is optional — App Store Connect automatically scales your screenshots to fit smaller devices.
iPhone Screenshot Sizes
The iPhone is where 95%+ of your App Store traffic comes from. Get this right first.
6.9-inch — The Only Required Size
1260 x 2736 pixels (portrait) or 2736 x 1260 pixels (landscape)
Covers: iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro Max.
This is the size App Store Connect expects. If you only provide one iPhone size, make it this one.
All Other iPhone Sizes (Optional)
These all auto-scale from the 6.9” screenshots. You only need to provide them if your app looks significantly different at smaller screen sizes.

Covers: iPad Pro (all generations), iPad Air (M3, M2). Also accepts the older 12.9” spec of 2048 x 2732 pixels.

General Requirements
- Format: PNG or JPEG — PNG recommended for sharper text
- Quantity: 1 to 10 screenshots per device size
- No transparency: Screenshots must be fully opaque
- No rounded corners: Submit rectangular images — Apple adds corners automatically
- First 3 matter most: Only the first 3 show in search results
How to Export at the Right Size
Screenshot Lab — Select your target devices and it exports at the correct dimensions automatically. No manual resizing.
Figma / Sketch — Create an artboard at the exact pixel dimensions. Export as PNG at 1x (not 2x — App Store Connect expects the exact pixel count).
Xcode Simulator — Screenshots are at correct resolution, but you’ll need to add backgrounds, captions, and device frames separately.
5 Mistakes That Get Your Submission Rejected
- Exporting at 2x from design tools — 1260 x 2736 at 2x = 2520 x 5472. Rejected.
- Baking in rounded corners — Apple adds its own. Double rounding looks broken.
- Wrong aspect ratio — Even 1px off and App Store Connect rejects the upload.
- Forgetting iPad screenshots — If your iOS app runs on iPad (default), iPad screenshots are required.
- Same screenshots for all sizes — Text readable at 1260px may be unreadable when scaled to 640px.
FAQ
What is the most important screenshot size for the App Store in 2026? The 6.9-inch iPhone size at 1260 x 2736 pixels. All other iPhone sizes auto-scale from it.
Do I need to provide every screenshot size? No. Just 6.9” iPhone and 13” iPad (if your app supports iPad). Everything else auto-scales.
How many screenshots should I upload? We recommend 6-8 screenshots. The first 3 are critical since they appear in search results.
Can I use JPEG instead of PNG? Both work, but PNG is recommended for text sharpness.
What if my app looks different on iPhone vs iPad? Provide separate iPad screenshots rather than relying on auto-scaling.
Summary
For 2026, you need:
- iPhone 6.9”: 1260 x 2736 px
- iPad 13”: 2064 x 2752 px
- Export as PNG at 1x scale
Two sizes cover the vast majority of cases. Tools like Screenshot Lab handle the sizing automatically so you can focus on making your screenshots actually convert.
