App Store screenshot sizes: what's required right now
The iPhone and iPad screenshot sizes App Store Connect requires today, the pixel sizes it accepts, how scaling works, and the iPhone Duo change coming in 2027.
To submit an iPhone app today, App Store Connect requires at least one screenshot for iPhone with Dynamic Island (medium display), which accepts 1179 x 2556 or 1206 x 2622 pixels in portrait. If your app also runs on iPad, you need at least one iPad 13-inch screenshot, 2064 x 2752 or 2048 x 2732. You can upload up to 10 screenshots per size as .jpeg, .jpg or .png, and smaller sizes are scaled from the ones you give.
As of October 26, 2026, that's what Apple's Screenshot specifications page in App Store Connect Help says. Apple doesn't put a date on that page, so I've dated every number here to the day I read it.
Which sizes are required?
Apple's page lists two required display sizes:
| Platform | Required display | Accepted sizes (portrait) |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone | iPhone with Dynamic Island (medium display) | 1179 x 2556 or 1206 x 2622 |
| iPad, if your app supports iPadOS | iPad 13-inch display | 2064 x 2752 or 2048 x 2732 |
Landscape works too: swap the two numbers. Apple's general rules for every size are at least one screenshot, up to 10 per device size, in .jpeg, .jpg or .png, and no alpha channels or transparency. Screenshots also have to follow the App Store Review Guidelines.
Some of the cheat sheets I found still build around the largest iPhone display as the one required size. Apple's own list of required sizes names the medium Dynamic Island display, so that's the one I'd make sure is there.
What about the bigger iPhone sizes?
The larger iPhone sizes are still on the page, and you can upload them:
| Display on Apple's page | Accepted sizes (portrait) |
|---|---|
| iPhone with Dynamic Island (large display) | 1260 x 2736, 1290 x 2796 or 1320 x 2868 |
| iPhone with Face ID (large display) | 1284 x 2778 or 1242 x 2688 |
| iPhone with Face ID (medium display) | 1170 x 2532, 1125 x 2436 or 1080 x 2340 |
One line on the page can be confusing. Under Face ID (large display), Apple writes that it's required if the app runs on iPhone and screenshots for Dynamic Island (large display) aren't provided. Under Dynamic Island (large display), it says that if you don't provide that size, scaled screenshots from Face ID (large display) are used. And under Dynamic Island (medium display), it says scaled screenshots from Face ID (large display) are used if you don't provide that size. Read together, the sizes fill in for each other, while the top of the page lists the medium Dynamic Island display as the required one. If you want to avoid any doubt, upload both the medium and the large Dynamic Island sizes. It's one more export from the same design.
How does scaling work?
Apple's page says that if your interface looks the same across device sizes and languages, you only need to provide screenshots for the highest required resolution, and App Store Connect scales them down for smaller devices. Each size on the page names the size it borrows from when you leave it empty, for example:
- iPhone with Face ID (medium display) uses scaled screenshots from Dynamic Island (medium display).
- iPad 12.9-inch and 11-inch use scaled screenshots from the 13-inch display.
- iPad 10.5-inch uses the 12.9-inch ones, and 9.7-inch uses the 10.5-inch ones.
If you'd rather not use scaled screenshots, you can upload separate screenshots and app previews for each device size and localization.
What's changing with iPhone Duo?
Apple's page already lists iPhone Duo with two sets of sizes: 1398 x 2034 for the outer display and 2007 x 2853 for the inner display, in portrait. The note under it says that starting in April 2027, screenshots will be required for any app using the iOS 27.1 SDK or later. If you're planning updates for next spring, it's worth designing a layout that works in that shape now rather than in a rush later.
Other Apple platforms
| Platform | Sizes on Apple's page |
|---|---|
| Mac | 16:10, one of 1280 x 800, 1440 x 900, 2560 x 1600 or 2880 x 1800 |
| Apple TV | 1920 x 1080 or 3840 x 2160 |
| Apple Vision Pro | 3840 x 2160 |
| Apple Watch | One of six sizes (for example 422 x 514 or 416 x 496), and the same size across all localizations |
Each of these is marked as required for apps on that platform.
What I'd do
Design one set at 1206 x 2622, export the same screens at 1320 x 2868 for the large Dynamic Island slot, and add 2064 x 2752 if you ship on iPad. Put the screen that shows what makes your app different first, since that's the one people see before they scroll. If you'd like a second opinion on what your first screenshots and listing say, I'll check them for free.
