App Store screenshot sizes: every dimension you need
Apple simplified its requirements: you now only need two sizes, and everything else scales down automatically. Here are the exact dimensions for the App Store and Google Play, what's accepted, and the format rules that quietly get submissions rejected.

The two sizes Apple actually requires
App Store Connect requires screenshots for the largest iPhone and iPad displays only. Provide these two, and Apple scales them down for every smaller device class automatically:
| Device class | Portrait | Landscape | Also accepted |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 6.9″ | 1320 × 2868 | 2868 × 1320 | 1290 × 2796 |
| iPad 13″ | 2064 × 2752 | 2752 × 2064 | 2048 × 2732 |
You can still upload dedicated screenshots for smaller display classes (6.5″, 5.5″, 12.9″, …) if you want per-device control, but they are optional. If your UI looks the same across sizes, upload only the largest and let App Store Connect scale.
Apple's format rules
- PNG or JPEG, RGB color space.
- No alpha channel — a transparent PNG is the most common silent rejection.
- Exact pixel dimensions. There is no tolerance: a screenshot one pixel off the spec is rejected.
- 1 to 10 screenshots per device class, per localization.
- The first 3 portrait screenshots (or first landscape one) show in search results — they do the selling before anyone opens your listing.

Google Play sizes
Google Play is looser about exact dimensions but stricter about counts and adds one required marketing asset:
| Asset | Size | Rules |
|---|---|---|
| Phone screenshots | 1080 × 1920 recommended | 2–8 required · min 320px short side · max 3840px long side · max 2:1 ratio |
| 7″ tablet | 1080 × 1920 recommended | up to 8, needed for tablet listing |
| 10″ tablet | 1200 × 1920 recommended | up to 8, needed for tablet listing |
| Feature graphic | 1024 × 500 exactly | required · shown in promotions and with your promo video |
- JPEG or 24-bit PNG — again, no alpha channel.
- 8 MB max per file.
- At least 2 phone screenshots are required before you can publish a listing at all.
Practical advice that survives spec changes
- Design for the thumbnail. Most people see your screenshots at search-result size. Headlines should be readable at one-third scale.
- Lead with your strongest two. Conversion is decided in the first screens, not the fifth.
- Export at the largest size. Downscaling is free; upscaling looks soft. Render at 6.9″/13″ and let the stores derive the rest.
- Keep text inside a safe margin. Store crops differ slightly per surface; an 80px text margin keeps copy from ever being clipped.
- Never fabricate metrics. Invented ratings, download counts, or award badges in screenshots violate store policies on misleading metadata and can get a submission — or an account — rejected.
Skip the resizing entirely
AppSnaps renders your raw screenshots into a finished 5-slide set — headlines, device frames, and styling included — exported at App Store dimensions for iPhone and iPad, named the way App Store Connect expects. One credit per set, from $2.99.
