> iPad screenshot sizes for App Store Connect: the one required set (13-inch, 2064 × 2752 or 2048 × 2732), scaled classes, plus Mac, Watch, Apple TV, Vision Pro.

Five iPad display classes, one of them required and the rest filled by scaling, then the short lists for Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Vision Pro.

**Short answer:** If your app runs on iPad, the required screenshot set is the 13-inch class: `2064 × 2752` px or `2048 × 2732` px in portrait. The 12.9-inch and 11-inch classes are filled by scaling from it when you leave them empty. Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Vision Pro have their own short lists further down.

## iPad: the one set that is required

Apple attaches a single condition to the 13″ iPad class: *required if app runs on iPad*. There is no equivalent escape clause to the one iPhone has: on iPad, that set is the price of entry.

## Every accepted size

| iPad class | Portrait | Landscape | Filled from |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13″ | `2064 × 2752`, `2048 × 2732` | `2752 × 2064`, `2732 × 2048` | (required) |
| 12.9″ | `2048 × 2732` | `2732 × 2048` | 13″ |
| 11″ | `1488 × 2266`, `1668 × 2420`, `1668 × 2388`, `1640 × 2360` | `2266 × 1488`, `2420 × 1668`, `2388 × 1668`, `2360 × 1640` | 13″ |
| 10.5″ | `1668 × 2224` | `2224 × 1668` | 12.9″ |
| 9.7″ (legacy) | `1536 × 2008`, `1536 × 2048`, `768 × 1004`, `768 × 1024` | `2008 × 1536`, `2048 × 1536`, `1004 × 768`, `1024 × 768` | 10.5″ |

Read from Apple's screenshot specifications on 1 September 2026 and checked again on 12 October 2026. The 9.7″ class is a legacy one: the two `1536` sizes are in pixels, without the status bar (`1536 × 2008`) and with it (`1536 × 2048`), and the two `768` sizes are the same screen at 1×. An error on any of them reads like the one in [the dimensions are wrong fix](https://mylarpwallet.com/blog/screenshot-dimensions-are-wrong). All iPhone and iPad classes side by side are in the [App Store screenshot sizes guide](https://mylarpwallet.com/guides/app-store-screenshot-sizes), and the [screenshot size calculator](https://mylarpwallet.com/tools/screenshot-size-calculator) checks a file against them.

## The scaling chain is worth reading twice

It is not one hop. The 10.5″ class is filled from 12.9″, and 9.7″ from 10.5″, so a single 13″ upload does not reach the bottom of the ladder directly. In practice this rarely matters, because the devices at the bottom are old enough that their share of your installs is small; but if those devices are your audience, the chain is the reason your listing looks softer there than you expected.

## iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) in the Simulator

The Xcode 27.0 Simulator renders the iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) at `2064 × 2752`, a size on the 13″ list, so a capture uploads without resizing. The catch is the file format: `xcrun simctl io <device> screenshot --type=png` writes a PNG with an alpha channel, and Apple's page says “Images can't include alpha channels or transparencies.” Flatten it with `sips -s format jpeg -s formatOptions 95 in.png --out out.jpg`, which on an iPhone capture gave an RGB JPEG with no alpha, and confirm yours with `sips -g hasAlpha out.jpg`.

## iPad is not a wider iPhone

The aspect ratios are close to 4:3 rather than the roughly 19.5:9 of a phone. A screen composed for a phone and stretched to fill an iPad frame reads as stretched, and the type gives it away because it grows in one direction only. If iPad matters to you, compose for it separately.

## Mac

Screenshots are required for Mac apps, and only four sizes are accepted, every one of them 16:10: `1280 × 800`, `1440 × 900`, `2560 × 1600` and `2880 × 1800`. The last two are the first two at @2×, so the four sizes are really two designs: compose at one size, then produce its double.

A window capture rarely fits. A window is whatever shape you dragged it to, and a 16:9 monitor, a 3:2 laptop or an ultrawide is not 16:10 either. Place the window on a 16:10 canvas rather than cropping it: cropping eats the window's own chrome, which is the part that says “this is a Mac app”.

## Apple Watch

| Models | Size |
|---|---|
| Ultra 4, Ultra 3 | `422 × 514` |
| Ultra 2, Ultra | `410 × 502` |
| Series 12, Series 11, Series 10 | `416 × 496` |
| Series 9, 8, 7 | `396 × 484` |
| Series 6, 5, 4, SE 3, SE 2, SE | `368 × 448` |
| Series 3, 2, 1 | `312 × 390` |

Screenshots are required for Apple Watch apps, and one rule exists on no other platform: the same Apple Watch size has to be used across every localisation of the app. The choice is not about which watch you own; it is about which size you are willing to produce in every language you ship.

## Apple TV and Vision Pro

| Platform | Accepted sizes | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Apple TV | `1920 × 1080`, `3840 × 2160` | for Apple TV apps |
| Apple Vision Pro | `3840 × 2160` | for Vision Pro |

`3840 × 2160` is on both lists, and the pixel count is the only thing the two platforms share. A television screenshot is read across a room, by someone holding a remote: large type, few elements, high contrast. A Vision Pro screenshot depicts an interface that floats in space and is read at arm's length. Both slots accept the same file; it cannot be right for both.

The Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Vision Pro lists were read from Apple's screenshot specifications on 1 September 2026 and checked again on 12 October 2026.
