App Store screenshot sizes.
The 2026 spec.

The list of app store screenshot sizes changes more often than the docs you find on search. This is the current set for 2026, pulled from Apple: the one iPhone size you have to provide, the iPad size, the app preview video specs, and the formats and limits. Tables you can copy from, with no retired numbers.

The short answer

Apple requires at least one 6.9-inch iPhone screenshot, accepted at 1320x2868, 1290x2796, or 1260x2736 px in portrait. If your app runs on iPad, you also need a 13-inch screenshot at 2064x2752 px portrait. App preview videos are optional, run 15 to 30 seconds, and use 886x1920 px on the 6.9-inch iPhone. Everything else scales from those.

iPhone

iPhone screenshot sizes.

The 6.9-inch iPhone is the only one you have to supply. Apple accepts three portrait dimensions for it, and any of them counts. The 6.5-inch slot only becomes required if you skip 6.9-inch. Note that 6.7-inch is no longer a separate category, so ignore older guides that lead with it.

Size classAccepted px (portrait) or behaviorNotes
6.9-inch1320x2868, 1290x2796, or 1260x2736Required. At least one screenshot here.
6.5-inchScaled from 6.9-inch if omittedRequired only if you skip 6.9-inch.
6.3-inch / 6.1-inchScaled from 6.9-inch if omittedAccepted, not separately required.
Smaller legacy sizesScaled from 6.9-inch if omittedAccepted for older devices.

iPad

iPad screenshot sizes.

The iPad requirement only applies if your app runs on iPad. When it does, Apple asks for a 13-inch display screenshot. These are the app store screenshot sizes for tablets, and the 13-inch set scales down to cover smaller iPad slots you leave empty.

Portrait is 2064x2752 px and landscape is 2752x2064 px. If your app is iPhone-only, you can ignore the iPad row entirely.

App preview video

App preview video specs.

A preview video is optional, but if you add one it has to fit Apple’s app preview video specs. The pixel size tracks the device, the same way the screenshots do, so the 6.9-inch iPhone preview and the 6.9-inch screenshot share the same aspect ratio.

Counts and formats

How many, formats, and scaling.

You can upload up to 10 screenshots per size, per localization, so every language you support gets its own set of up to 10. Image formats are .jpg, .jpeg, and .png. Preview videos are capped at 3 per localization. None of that changes the app store screenshot sizes themselves; it just sets how many of each you can attach.

The part that trips people up is scaling. You do not have to fill every device size by hand. If you upload a 6.9-inch iPhone set and skip the smaller iPhone slots, Apple scales the 6.9-inch images down to fill them. The same holds for iPad: a 13-inch set covers the smaller iPad sizes. Scaling is a fallback, though, not a mandate. If you want pixel-perfect art for a specific device, you can still upload a native set for that size.

So the minimum to ship is one 6.9-inch iPhone screenshot, plus one 13-inch iPad screenshot if the app runs on iPad. Everything past that is optional polish.

By hand vs generated

Producing the assets: by hand vs generated.

Knowing the app store screenshot sizes is half the job. The other half is producing files that hit them exactly, then redoing the set every time a screen changes. By hand that is real design time. Newly generates the screenshots, the listing metadata, and a launch video as part of the Agent 25 plan, so you start from compliant assets instead of a blank canvas.

Newly generates it

  • Screenshots at the 6.9-inch iPhone size Apple requires
  • A 13-inch iPad screenshot when your app runs on iPad
  • Listing metadata: name, subtitle, description, keywords
  • A short launch video you can use as an app preview
  • Assets that match the sizes App Store Connect expects
  • Output in minutes, regenerated whenever the app changes

By hand, you do all of this

  • Capture each screen at the exact pixel size per device
  • Resize and re-export for every required and optional slot
  • Write and proof the listing metadata yourself
  • Record, trim, and encode a preview to the right codec
  • Re-shoot everything when a screen or feature changes
  • Track which sizes are current versus retired this year

Generated, then you upload.

Newly is a paid AI mobile-app builder, and the Agent 25 plan is $25 a month with 50 credits, iOS and Android deployment, simulators, and App Store screenshot, metadata, and launch-video generation. You still upload the files in App Store Connect yourself, since that is where Apple takes them. The build itself is real React Native and Expo code you own, with a bundled backend. For more output there are credit top-ups and an Agent 50+ tier.

FAQ

App store screenshot sizes, quick questions.

Apple requires at least one 6.9-inch iPhone screenshot, and the accepted portrait dimensions for that size are 1320x2868, 1290x2796, or 1260x2736 px. If your app runs on iPad, a 13-inch screenshot is also required at 2064x2752 px portrait (2752x2064 landscape). Those two cover the requirement. Apple still accepts other iPhone categories (6.5-inch, 6.3-inch, 6.1-inch, and smaller legacy sizes), but the 6.5-inch set is only required if you do not provide a 6.9-inch one. If you skip a size, Apple scales your 6.9-inch screenshots to fill it. The full table lives in Apple's App Store Connect screenshot specifications.
