App Store screenshot sizes for iPhone and iPad: what to upload and how many
Apple asks for a few screenshot sizes and scales the rest down for you. This guide gives the sizes App Store Connect accepts for iPhone and iPad, the iPhone sizes Apple marks as required today, how many screenshots each device size takes, and what Apple scales for you. Everything below comes from Apple's own pages, read on 8 November 2026. Apple changes these pages, so check the links before you upload.
What you have to upload
For iPhone, the top of Apple's page asks for at least one screenshot at the Dynamic Island (medium) size: 1179 x 2556 or 1206 x 2622 pixels in portrait. Further down, the same page marks Face ID (large), 1284 x 2778 or 1242 x 2688, as “Required if app runs on iPhone and screenshots for iPhone with Dynamic Island (large display) aren't provided”. To cover both, upload one set at 1206 x 2622 and one at 1320 x 2868, the Dynamic Island (large) size.
If your app runs on iPad, you also need at least one screenshot at the iPad 13-inch size: 2064 x 2752 or 2048 x 2732 pixels in portrait.
You can add up to 10 screenshots for each device size. Apple's page says “you only need to provide screenshots for the highest required resolution” and that App Store Connect scales them down for the smaller sizes. Uploading a set for every size is optional.
Accepted formats
Screenshots are .jpeg, .jpg or .png. Apple says images “can't include alpha channels or transparencies”, so export a PNG without transparency. Apple's page does not state a colour space.
iPhone sizes in pixels (portrait)
| Display class | Accepted sizes |
|---|---|
| Dynamic Island (large) | 1260 x 2736, 1290 x 2796, 1320 x 2868 |
| Dynamic Island (medium), required | 1179 x 2556, 1206 x 2622 |
| Face ID (large), required if no Dynamic Island (large) set | 1284 x 2778, 1242 x 2688 |
| Face ID (medium) | 1170 x 2532, 1125 x 2436, 1080 x 2340 |
| Home Button (large) | 1242 x 2208 |
| Home Button (medium) | 750 x 1334 |
Landscape is the same pair of numbers the other way round. Apple's page also lists 4-inch and 3.5-inch Home Button sizes for older devices.
iPad sizes in pixels (portrait)
| Display class | Accepted sizes |
|---|---|
| 13-inch, required if your app runs on iPad | 2064 x 2752, 2048 x 2732 |
| 11-inch | 1488 x 2266, 1512 x 2316, 1668 x 2420, 1668 x 2388, 1640 x 2360 |
| 10.5-inch | 1668 x 2224 |
| 9.7-inch | 1536 x 2008, 1536 x 2048, 768 x 1004, 768 x 1024 |
What scales and what does not
Apple lists which size stands in for which. The iPad 11-inch falls back to the 13-inch. The iPad 10.5-inch falls back to the 12.9-inch (2048 x 2732). The Dynamic Island (medium) size falls back to Face ID (large). If you upload a bigger size, you can leave the smaller ones to Apple. If a scaled version looks wrong on a device, upload that size yourself.
One date for later. Apple's page lists iPhone Duo sizes, 1398 x 2034 for the outer screen and 2007 x 2853 for the inner, and says that starting in April 2027, screenshots will be required for any app using the iOS 27.1 SDK or later.
App previews
An app preview is optional. It runs 15 to 30 seconds, is up to 500 MB, and you can add up to three for each device size and language. On iPhone with Face ID or Dynamic Island, the accepted size is 886 x 1920 in portrait or 1920 x 886 in landscape. Previews appear before the screenshots on your product page, except a preview with a different aspect ratio from your screenshots, which Apple shows further down.
Before you upload
- Export your screens at 1206 x 2622 and at 1320 x 2868. Together they meet both iPhone requirements on Apple's page.
- Check each file is a PNG or JPEG with no transparency.
- Use real screens from your app. Apple's App Review Guideline 2.3.3 covers what screenshots may show.
- In App Store Connect, open your app's version page and upload under App Previews and Screenshots, choosing the language from the menu at the top right if you add other localisations.
- Open the product page preview and check that the first screenshot reads clearly on its own.
