Getting your app store screenshot sizes wrong is one of those mistakes that wastes an annoying amount of time. You design everything, go to upload, and App Store Connect rejects it because the dimensions are off by a few pixels. This guide has every iPhone screenshot dimension and app store screenshot requirement you need for 2026.
Apple App Store — iPhone screenshot sizes
Apple requires screenshots that match specific device display sizes. Here are the current requirements:
- iPhone 16 Pro Max / 15 Pro Max — 1320×2868 pixels
- iPhone 16 Pro / 15 Pro — 1206×2622 pixels
- iPhone 15 Plus / 14 Plus — 1284×2778 pixels
- iPhone 15 / 14 — 1170×2532 pixels
- iPhone SE (3rd gen) — 750×1334 pixels
You must provide screenshots for the 6.9" display (Pro Max) and the 6.1" display at minimum. Apple will scale these for smaller devices automatically, but providing native resolution for each size class looks noticeably better.
Apple App Store — iPad screenshot sizes
If your app runs on iPad, you need these too:
- iPad Pro 13" (M-series) — 2064×2752 pixels
- iPad Pro 11" — 1668×2388 pixels
- iPad Air / iPad (10th gen) — 1640×2360 pixels
- iPad mini (6th gen) — 1488×2266 pixels
The 13" Pro and 11" Pro sizes are required at minimum.
Google Play Store requirements
Google Play is more flexible but has its own constraints:
- Minimum: 320px on the shortest side
- Maximum: 3840px on the longest side
- Aspect ratio: No taller than 2:1
- Format: JPEG or PNG (24-bit, no alpha)
- File size: Max 8MB per screenshot
- Count: 2-8 screenshots per device type
In practice, most developers create their screenshots at the highest iPhone resolution and adapt for Google Play, since the requirements overlap well.
Best practices for designing within these constraints
Knowing the pixel dimensions is the easy part. Here's how to actually use them well:
- Design at the largest required size first, then scale down. It's much easier to reduce than to upscale.
- Keep critical content away from edges. Leave at least 40px of padding on all sides. Some devices and display contexts will crop slightly.
- Test on actual device frames. A screenshot that looks great as a flat image might feel cramped or oddly positioned inside a mockup. Always preview in context.
- Use consistent text sizing. If you're adding captions or feature callouts, establish a type scale and stick to it across all screenshots.
Using mockups to frame your screenshots
Raw screenshots uploaded directly to the store work, but they don't stand out. Wrapping your screenshots in device mockups gives them physical context and makes your listing feel more polished.
The workflow:
- Capture screenshots at the correct native resolution
- Choose a mockup style — browse the collection for angles that match your app's personality
- Place your screenshot in the mockup and download at 4K
- Resize the final image to match the exact App Store or Google Play dimensions
This approach works particularly well because the mockup adds context while your actual screenshot remains pixel-perfect inside the device frame. We have mockups for all current devices including iPhone 17 Pro and other recent models.
Quick reference table
Save yourself the repeated googling. Here's the summary:
| Device | Portrait | Landscape |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 16 Pro Max | 1320×2868 | 2868×1320 |
| iPhone 15 Pro Max | 1290×2796 | 2796×1290 |
| iPhone 15 Plus | 1284×2778 | 2778×1284 |
| iPhone 15 | 1170×2532 | 2532×1170 |
| iPad Pro 13" | 2064×2752 | 2752×2064 |
| iPad Pro 11" | 1668×2388 | 2388×1668 |
