App Store Screenshot Sizes 2026 — every required iPhone & iPad resolution
The exact pixel dimensions App Store Connect accepts in 2026, which of them you actually need to upload, and the format rules that get submissions rejected. Last verified: June 2026.
TL;DR — the two sizes you must have
Apple only requires the largest screenshot size per device type. Upload these two and App Store Connect auto-scales them for every smaller display:
| Device slot | Portrait | Landscape | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPhone 6.9″ Display | 1320 × 2868 | 2868 × 1320 | Required |
| iPad 13″ Display (if your app runs on iPad) | 2064 × 2752 | 2752 × 2064 | Required |
All accepted sizes per slot
Each App Store Connect upload slot accepts a couple of exact resolutions (dimensions are checked to the pixel — even 1 px off is rejected):
| Slot | Accepted portrait sizes | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone 6.9″ | 1320 × 2868, 1290 × 2796 |
Covers iPhone Pro Max / Plus models; required. |
| iPhone 6.5″ | 1242 × 2688 |
Optional legacy slot — only if you want a tailored set for older devices. |
| iPad 13″ | 2064 × 2752, 2048 × 2732 |
The old iPad Pro 12.9″ size (2048 × 2732) folds into this same slot. |
| iPad 11″ | 1668 × 2388 |
Optional — tailored set for 11″ iPads. |
Format rules (the usual rejection reasons)
- PNG or JPEG, RGB color space — no alpha channel. A transparent pixel anywhere fails the upload.
- Exact dimensions. No scaling tolerance; export at the precise resolution of the slot.
- 1–10 screenshots per device slot, per locale.
- Localized screenshots are per-locale: every language you support can carry its own set.
How many files is that, really?
The set multiplies fast: slides × locales per device. A typical app with
6 screenshots, iPhone + iPad, in 9 languages is 108 exact-size PNGs —
which is why doing this by hand in a design tool gets old quickly.

Uploading with fastlane
If you ship often, don't drag PNGs into the browser. fastlane deliver
uploads a folder laid out as screenshots/<locale>/<name>.png straight to
App Store Connect with an API key (.p8). The studio above has a one-click
"ZIP for fastlane" export that produces exactly that layout, plus a ready

FAQ
Do I need 6.5″ iPhone screenshots?
No. Upload 6.9″ and Apple scales down. Add 6.5″ only if you want pixel-perfect art for older devices.
Do I need iPad screenshots?
Only if your app runs on iPad (i.e. it isn't iPhone-only). Then the 13″ size is required.
Can screenshots contain marketing text and device frames?
Yes — most top apps do. The image must still represent the actual app experience; pure marketing imagery with no app UI risks rejection under guideline 2.3.
