App Store screenshot dimensions in 2026 (every device)

If you've ever opened App Store Connect and stared at the screenshot upload page wondering why there are six different sizes for "iPhone", you're not alone. Apple's requirements have evolved with every new device, and most "guide to App Store screenshots" posts online are years out of date.

This is the current list as of June 2026, plus the practical advice for keeping your screenshots looking good across all of them without recreating each design six times.

The short version

If you only have time to remember three sizes:

iPhone 6.7" / 6.9" (iPhone 14 Pro Max, 15 Pro Max, 16 Plus, etc.): 1290 × 2796 portrait
iPad 13" (iPad Pro M-series): 2064 × 2752 portrait
Mac: 1280 × 800 landscape (minimum) or 2880 × 1800 for retina

Apple lets you upload screenshots for the largest size in each device family and scales them down automatically for older smaller devices. So if you only have 1290 × 2796 iPhone screenshots, Apple will downscale for everyone on a 5.5" iPhone. You don't have to design six iPhone variants.

| Display | Portrait dimensions | Landscape | Devices | |---|---|---|---| | 6.9" | 1320 × 2868 | 2868 × 1320 | iPhone 16 Pro Max | | 6.7" | 1290 × 2796 | 2796 × 1290 | iPhone 14 Pro Max, 15 Pro Max, 16 Plus, 14/15/16 Plus | | 6.5" | 1242 × 2688 | 2688 × 1242 | iPhone XS Max, 11 Pro Max | | 5.5" | 1242 × 2208 | 2208 × 1242 | iPhone 8 Plus and earlier (legacy) |

Practical move: design for 1290 × 2796 (6.7") or 1320 × 2868 (6.9"). Apple scales down automatically. The only time you'd upload separate 5.5" screenshots is if you genuinely target older devices and want hand-tuned cropping.

Full reference — iPad

| Display | Portrait | Landscape | Devices | |---|---|---|---| | 13" | 2064 × 2752 | 2752 × 2064 | iPad Pro 13" (M4) | | 12.9" | 2048 × 2732 | 2732 × 2048 | iPad Pro 12.9" (older) | | 11" | 1668 × 2388 | 2388 × 1668 | iPad Pro 11", iPad Air 11" |

For iPad, you typically need two sets — 13" and 11" — because the aspect ratios differ enough that downscaling looks wrong.

Full reference — Mac

The Mac App Store accepts these dimensions:

| Dimensions | When to use | |---|---| | 1280 × 800 | Minimum acceptable — small file size | | 1440 × 900 | Better for menu-bar apps | | 2560 × 1600 | Standard for retina rendering | | 2880 × 1800 | Maximum — sharpest on retina |

You only need to upload one set of Mac screenshots. They don't get scaled like iPhone — they're shown at whatever resolution you upload.

Apple Watch and Apple TV

If your app runs on these, you also need:

Apple Watch Ultra: 410 × 502
Apple Watch Series 10+ (46mm): 416 × 496
Apple TV: 3840 × 2160

Most indie devs can skip these — Apple won't reject your submission if you only have iPhone screenshots and your app supports those platforms.

How many screenshots can you upload?

Up to 10 per device family. The first 3 show up in App Store search results and on the product page above the fold. Those are the only ones most users see — design them as if they're the only three.

What's actually shown in the App Store search results?

This trips up most devs. On the search results page, Apple shows only the first 3 screenshots in a horizontal carousel, often only the top half of each. That means:

Your headline and key visual need to live in the top half of screenshots 1–3.
Anything below the fold is bonus content for users who tap into your product page.

If your screenshots are designed top-to-bottom like a landing page, you're wasting the most valuable real estate in your entire App Store presence.

The export problem: aspect ratios don't divide cleanly

This is the one Apple makes annoying. Most modern image tools default to common aspect ratios — 9:16, 4:3, square. None of those match Apple's screenshot dimensions exactly. For example:

1290 × 2796 = aspect ratio 1 : 2.168
9:16 = aspect ratio 1 : 1.778

If you design at 9:16 and try to scale up to 1290 × 2796, your design either stretches (distorted) or gets letterboxed (white bars on top and bottom).

The fix is to design in the exact dimensions from the start. Templates in Figma, Sketch, and most design tools have these presets built in.

TL;DR: the lazy person's setup

If you're shipping a new indie app today and don't have time to design six variants:

Make screenshots at 1320 × 2868 (iPhone 6.9") — covers every modern iPhone.
If you support iPad, also make 2064 × 2752 for iPad Pro 13".
If you ship for Mac, also make 2880 × 1800.
Design with the top half carrying all the weight — headline + hero visual.
Skip Apple Watch and TV unless they're core to your product.

That's it. Three sets of screenshots, every device covered, top-half-first composition.
