App Store Screenshot Sizes 2026:
The Complete List

Apple and Google update their screenshot requirements every year as new devices launch. Getting the dimensions wrong means your screenshots get rejected or display incorrectly. This page lists every required size, updated for 2026.

iPhone (App Store)

Apple requires screenshots at specific display sizes. The 6.9" and 6.5" sizes are required for most apps. The others are optional but recommended if you want your listing to look polished on every device.

DeviceSize (px)
iPhone 6.9" (iPhone 16 Pro Max)1320 × 2868
iPhone 6.7" (iPhone 16 Plus)1290 × 2796
iPhone 6.5" (iPhone 11 Pro Max)1284 × 2778
iPhone 5.5" (iPhone 8 Plus)1242 × 2208
iPhone 4.7" (iPhone SE)750 × 1334
iPhone 4" (iPhone SE 1st gen)640 × 1136

If you only upload one set of iPhone screenshots, make it the 6.9" size. Apple will scale them down for older devices. The 6.5" set is also required if you want separate control over older iPhone display sizes.

iPad (App Store)

DeviceSize (px)
iPad Pro 13" (M4)2064 × 2752
iPad Pro 12.9" (3rd gen+)2048 × 2732
iPad Pro 11"1668 × 2388
iPad (10th gen)1640 × 2360
iPad mini (6th gen)1488 × 2266

Apple Watch (App Store)

Apple Watch Series 10 42mm352 × 430
Apple Watch Series 4-9 44mm368 × 448
Apple Watch Series 4-9 40mm324 × 394

macOS (App Store)

DeviceSize (px)
macOS (all sizes)1280 × 800 minimum

macOS screenshots can be any 16:10 or wider aspect ratio. Apple recommends 1280 × 800 minimum. For Retina displays, 2560 × 1600 looks best.

Google Play (Android)

Google Play is more flexible than the App Store. You upload screenshots at your own resolution and Google scales them. The minimum and maximum constraints are:

DeviceSize (px)
Phone screenshots320 × 568 min
7-inch tablet320 × 568 min
10-inch tablet1080 × 1920 recommended
Chromebook1920 × 1080 recommended
Android TV1280 × 720 minimum
Wear OSAt least 384 × 384

Google Play shows screenshots in a horizontal scroll on most devices. The first screenshot and the feature graphic (1024 × 500px) are the most visible elements in search results. Prioritize these two above everything else.

File format requirements

Both stores accept PNG and JPEG. Key rules:

PNG is lossless and preferred for screenshots with text and UI elements
JPEG is accepted but can introduce compression artefacts on sharp edges
Maximum file size: 500MB per screenshot (App Store), 8MB (Google Play)
No transparency in screenshots (alpha channel is ignored)
Screenshots must not contain the device frame unless it is a device mockup
Landscape screenshots are supported but must be consistently landscape across the set

Portrait vs landscape screenshots

Most apps use portrait screenshots because the App Store displays them in a vertical scroll. Landscape screenshots are shown smaller in search results on iPhone, which reduces their impact. Use landscape only if your app is inherently landscape (games, video players, iPad productivity apps).

You cannot mix portrait and landscape within a single screenshot set. Choose one orientation and apply it consistently.

How to manage all these sizes without going mad

The practical problem is that you need to produce screenshots at up to 6 different iPhone sizes, 5 iPad sizes, and multiple Android sizes. If you support 5 languages, that's potentially 80+ individual files per release.

The only sustainable approach is to design at the largest size (6.9" for iPhone, 13" for iPad) and scale down. Design tools that export at all required dimensions automatically save hours per release and eliminate the risk of uploading the wrong size.

Export every size in one click

SnapScreens exports your screenshots at every required App Store and Google Play dimension automatically. Design once, export all sizes. No manual resizing, no wrong dimensions.
