For App Store Connect

App Store screenshot generator for iPhone and iPad

Apple accepts a fixed set of pixel sizes per display class and rejects everything else. Design your listing once here, then export it at 1320×2868, 2064×2752 and every other size Connect asks for — framed, localized, and zipped in the folder shape the upload form expects.

What App Store Connect actually requires

Apple's screenshot rules are shorter than most people expect, and stricter. Three of them decide whether a build gets through review: One iPhone tier is mandatory. A 6.9" display set — iPhone 17 Pro Max, 16 Pro Max, 15 Pro Max, iPhone Air — is required for any app that runs on iPhone, unless you supply a 6.5" set instead. Every tier below those two is optional. iPad apps need a 13" set of their own. If the app runs on iPad, a 13" display set (iPad Pro M5/M4, iPad Air M4/M3/M2) is required alongside the iPhone one. One to ten images per localization. Each language and device family carries its own set of 1–10 screenshots, in .png, .jpg or .jpeg.

The part people miss is the scaling rule . When a smaller display tier has no screenshots of its own, App Store Connect takes the next larger tier's images and scales them down to fill the slot. That is convenient, and it is also why so many listings show slightly soft, slightly off-centre type on a 6.1" iPhone. Exporting a tier natively is the difference between crisp text and a resampled approximation of it.

Every screenshot size the App Store accepts

Ship the tiers you care about natively; anything you skip is scaled down from the tier above it.

From Apple's App Store Connect screenshot specifications, checked August 2026. Apple lists several accepted pairs per tier — the largest of each is shown here.

Built around Apple's size list

Not a generic image editor with an export preset bolted on.

Native iPhone and iPad canvases

Start on a 1320×2868 iPhone canvas and a 2064×2752 iPad canvas that already match what Connect accepts, plus their landscape twins. Nothing to look up, nothing to crop afterwards.

One design, linked across sizes

Layers share an identity across canvases, so retyping a headline on iPhone updates iPad with it. Position stays per-canvas, so the iPad layout can breathe instead of being a stretched phone.

Photoreal iPhone 17 Pro Max and iPad Pro frames

Drop a raw simulator capture in and it sits inside a real device shell in five finishes, tilted up to 15° per axis. No hunting for transparent PNGs.

A screenshot set per App Store locale

36 languages, with per-locale headlines and per-locale captures on the same design — right-to-left included. The export sorts them into one folder per language.

A ZIP shaped like the upload form

Folders nest by size, then language, then device, so getting the set into App Store Connect's media manager is drag, drop, next.

An AI first draft from your captures

Hand the generator your raw screens and a sentence about the app; it drafts headlines, layout, background and framing across the whole set. You edit from a draft instead of a blank canvas.

From raw captures to a Connect-ready ZIP

The whole loop, for an app that already has screens worth showing.

Capture your screens

Run the app in a 6.9" simulator and grab up to ten screens — the App Store's per-locale ceiling, and the editor's cap too.

Brand a template

Pick a multi-screen kit, swap the headlines, drop the captures into the device frames, and set your type and colours.

Turn on the sizes you want native

Add iPad, landscape, or both. The layout stamps across, and you nudge anything that wants a different rhythm on the larger canvas.

Export and upload

One ZIP, folders per size and language, ready for the App Store Connect media manager.

App Store screenshot questions

Specs change most years. These were checked against Apple's documentation in August 2026.

What size should App Store screenshots be in 2026?

For iPhone, the 6.9" tier is the one Apple requires: 1320×2868 portrait, or 2868×1320 landscape. Apple also accepts 1290×2796 and 1260×2736 for that tier. For iPad, the required 13" tier is 2064×2752 portrait, with 2048×2732 accepted too. Every smaller tier is optional and gets scaled down from the tier above it.

How many screenshots can I upload per app?

One to ten, per device family, per localization. Apple shows only the first two or three in search results, so the opening pair does most of the work — lead with your strongest feature rather than a splash screen or a login form.

Do I need to upload every iPhone size separately?

No. The required 6.9" set is enough to publish — App Store Connect scales it down to fill the 6.5", 6.3", 6.1" and smaller slots. Exporting a tier natively is a quality decision rather than a compliance one: scaling resamples your text, and a headline tuned at 1320px wide rarely lands as cleanly at 1170px.

Can App Store screenshots include marketing text and device frames?

Yes. Apple has no rule against captions, backgrounds or device frames — the requirement is that the screenshots represent the app honestly. Nearly every top-charting listing uses framed, captioned screenshots, which is why an unframed raw capture now reads as the odd one out.

What file format do App Store screenshots need?

Apple accepts .png, .jpg and .jpeg. Exports here are PNG at full resolution, which keeps type edges crisp — the place where compression artefacts show up first on a screenshot that is mostly flat colour and text.

Do I need different screenshots for each App Store language?

Only for the languages you localize, and only where the content actually differs. Each localization carries its own set, which is what lets a Japanese listing show Japanese headlines over Japanese in-app captures. Text and captures are stored per locale on the same design here, so you author the layout once and swap only what changes.

Can I generate App Store screenshots with AI?

Yes. Point the generator at your raw captures plus a short description and it drafts the set — headlines, layout, background, framing — for you to edit. It composes around your real screens rather than inventing an interface, which is what keeps the result usable as a store asset.

Does this cover Google Play as well?

Yes, in the same project — Android phone and tablet canvases and the 1024×500 feature graphic sit alongside the iOS ones, with headlines linked so one copy change lands everywhere. The rules and sizes are different enough that Play has its own walkthrough: see the Google Play screenshot generator .
