What are the App Store Screenshot Dimensions?
Complete reference for App Store screenshot dimensions across all iPhone and iPad devices. Learn which pixel dimensions Apple requires and how to design for each.
Definition
App Store screenshot dimensions are the exact width and height in pixels that Apple mandates for app listing screenshots. Each device display class has a fixed dimension requirement that must be met for your screenshots to be accepted by App Store Connect.
In-depth explanation
Apple defines screenshot dimensions per device display class. The current requirements for portrait screenshots are: iPhone 6.9-inch at 1320x2868, iPhone 6.7-inch at 1290x2796, iPhone 6.5-inch at 1242x2688, iPhone 5.5-inch at 1242x2208, iPad Pro 12.9-inch at 2048x2732, and iPad Pro 11-inch at 1668x2388. For landscape orientation, simply swap the width and height values. These dimensions correspond to the native screen resolutions of each device class at their respective scale factors.
Understanding these dimensions matters because App Store Connect performs strict validation on uploads. If your screenshot is even one pixel off from the required dimensions, the upload will fail. This is different from Google Play, which accepts a range of sizes. When working with design tools, always set your canvas to the exact required dimensions before you start designing. Avoid resizing after the fact, as this can introduce compression artifacts or slight dimension mismatches.
A practical approach is to design a master layout at the largest iPhone dimension (1320x2868 for the 6.9-inch), then create adapted versions for each smaller size. Elements like text size, padding, and device frames may need adjustment at each dimension to look correct. For iPad screenshots, the wider aspect ratio means your layout will differ significantly from phone screenshots. Many developers create separate iPad designs rather than simply stretching their phone layouts. ScreenMagic generates pixel-perfect screenshots at every required dimension, eliminating the manual resizing process entirely.
Usage examples
- 1.“We set our Figma artboards to match the exact App Store screenshot dimensions for each device.”
- 2.“The screenshot upload failed because our iPad dimensions were set to the old 9.7-inch format instead of the current 12.9-inch requirement.”
- 3.“ScreenMagic automatically exports at every required App Store screenshot dimension.”
