App Store Screenshot Sizes in 2026

App Store Connect only requires one iPhone screenshot set (and one iPad set if your app runs on iPad) — everything else scales down from what you provide. Here are the sizes that matter in 2026.

The sizes that matter

DisplayResolution (portrait)Example devices
iPhone 6.9”1320 × 2868iPhone 16/17 Pro Max
iPhone 6.7”1290 × 2796iPhone 15 Pro Max, 16 Plus
iPhone 6.5”1242 × 2688iPhone 11 Pro Max, XS Max
iPad 13”2064 × 2752iPad Pro 13”
iPad 12.9”2048 × 2732older iPad Pro 12.9”

Upload the largest size (6.9” for iPhone, 13” for iPad) and App Store Connect uses it for smaller devices automatically. Landscape variants are the same numbers flipped.

Always check Apple’s official specifications  before submitting — Apple adjusts the list as new devices ship.

What reviewers actually reject

Size compliance is mechanical — App Store Connect simply won’t accept a wrong resolution. What actually hurts your listing is content: screenshots that are raw UI dumps with a messy status bar, no device frame, and no story. Your first two screenshots are effectively your ad; most visitors never swipe further.

A strong set usually means: your app in a real device frame, a clean 9:41 status bar, a readable caption, and a consistent background system across all 10 slots.

Where the mockup comes from

Almost every App Store screenshot has a device mockup in it — your app, inside a real iPhone frame, on a background, usually with a caption above it. Making that mockup is the slow part, and it’s the part Screeny does:

  1. Take your screenshots on the device you’re targeting
  2. Batch import up to 10 into Screeny
  3. Apply one preset — frame, status bar, background
  4. Export the whole set in one pass, transparent background if you want one

Because every item gets the same style, the set looks designed rather than assembled.

Screeny makes the mockup; it doesn’t lay out the final store asset. The exact 1320 × 2868 canvas — caption text, margins, the crop — is a composition step, and it belongs in whatever you already use for layout: Figma, Sketch, Canva, or a Shortcut. Export the framed mockup as a transparent PNG, drop it onto a canvas at the size in the table above, and you have a compliant screenshot in about a minute per slot.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need screenshots for every iPhone size? No. Provide the 6.9” set and Apple scales it for smaller phones. You can upload device-specific sets if you want pixel-perfect control.

Can screenshots include the device frame? Yes — framed screenshots (with a marketing background and caption) are standard practice and Apple’s own guidelines allow them.

What about app preview videos? Previews have their own specs — portrait 6.9” previews are 886 × 1920. See How to Make an App Preview Video on Your iPhone.
