App Store screenshot sizes for iPhone
Which pixel dimensions Apple accepts, which set is now mandatory (6.3-inch, since October 2026) and which slots App Store Connect fills by scaling.
Last updated: 12 October 2026
Upload one set in the 6.3″ class, the one Apple now requires and calls “iPhone with Dynamic Island (medium display)”: 1206 × 2622 px or 1179 × 2556 px. Add one in the 6.9″ class: 1320 × 2868 px, 1290 × 2796 px (the old 6.7″ size, now in this same class) or 1260 × 2736 px (iPhone Air). Apple fills the 6.9″ and 6.5″ slots only from each other, and every smaller slot from the 6.3″ set. Screenshots must be PNG or JPEG, RGB, with no transparency and no rounded corners.
The sizes, by device class
An iPhone screenshot is simply the screen in points multiplied by its scale factor. Every figure below is that arithmetic, not a convention:
These are device sizes, not upload slots. A phone can measure 6.7″ across and still be uploaded into the 6.9″ class: Apple merged the two, and the handset did not change size with it. The same goes for the iPhone Air: a 6.5″ phone whose 1260 × 2736 capture goes into the 6.9″ class.
| Device size | Points | Scale | Pixels (portrait) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6.9″ (16/17 Pro Max) | 440 × 956 | 3× | 1320 × 2868 |
| 6.7″ (15/16 Plus, 14/15 Pro Max) | 430 × 932 | 3× | 1290 × 2796 |
| 6.5″ (iPhone Air) | 420 × 912 | 3× | 1260 × 2736 |
| 6.5″ (11 Pro Max, XS Max) | 414 × 896 | 3× | 1242 × 2688 |
| 6.5″ (12/13 Pro Max) | 428 × 926 | 3× | 1284 × 2778 |
| 6.3″ (16 Pro, 17, 17 Pro) | 402 × 874 | 3× | 1206 × 2622 |
| 6.1″ (14 Pro, 15, 15 Pro, 16) | 393 × 852 | 3× | 1179 × 2556 |
| 6.1″ (12/13/14, 16e) | 390 × 844 | 3× | 1170 × 2532 |
| 5.5″ (8 Plus) | 414 × 736 | 3× | 1242 × 2208 |
Check Apple's own page before you upload. The list of required sets has changed several times, most recently in October 2026, when Apple made the 6.3″ class the required iPhone set and stopped naming classes by their diagonal. The pixel arithmetic above is stable (a 393 pt screen at 3× is 1179 px whatever Apple decides), but which sets are mandatory is Apple's call and it moves.
Why you rarely need every size
App Store Connect scales the required set down to the smaller classes: Apple says you “only need to provide screenshots for the highest required resolution”. In practice the required 6.3″ set covers the 6.1″ class and below, and a 6.9″ set covers the 6.5″ class. Two caveats, both worth knowing before you build ten sets:
- Scaling is not cropping. A 1290 × 2796 image scaled to a 6.5″ slot keeps its aspect ratio, so nothing is cut, but fine text loses definition. Anything smaller than roughly 28 px in the source will read as mush after downscaling.
- Aspect ratios differ slightly between classes. 1290 × 2796 is 1:2.167; 1242 × 2688 is 1:2.164. Close enough that Apple handles it, far enough that a design pinned to the very edge can shift by a pixel or two.
The chain, as Apple's screenshot specifications list it on 8 October 2026: 6.9″ from 6.5″ and 6.5″ from 6.9″, 6.3″ from 6.5″, 6.1″ from 6.3″, 5.5″ from 6.1″ and 4.7″ from 5.5″. Apple now names these classes by screen type: 6.9″ is “iPhone with Dynamic Island (large display)”, 6.5″ “iPhone with Face ID (large display)” and 6.1″ “iPhone with Face ID (medium display)”. The iPad chain takes more than one hop; it is spelled out in the iPad screenshot sizes post.
The technical rules that get uploads rejected
- PNG or JPEG only. Not HEIC, not WebP.
- RGB colour space. A CMYK export from a print tool is refused.
- No alpha channel. This is the most common rejection: a PNG exported with transparency fails even if nothing looks transparent.
- No rounded corners and no device frame baked in: Apple draws the frame.
- One to ten screenshots per device class, in the order you upload them.
Getting the pixels exactly right
The reliable route is to design on a canvas whose width divides cleanly into the target. Our own wallet is drawn on a 923 px canvas, which is a 393 pt screen at 2.3486×, so scaling it to 1179 px is a single multiplication with no resampling of the layout itself. Any canvas works as long as you scale the whole design rather than nudging elements afterwards.
Questions
What size should App Store screenshots be for iPhone?
Apple now requires one set for “iPhone with Dynamic Island (medium display)”, the 6.3-inch class: 1206 × 2622 or 1179 × 2556 px. Add a 6.9-inch set (1320 × 2868, 1290 × 2796 or 1260 × 2736 px) for the largest phones: Apple fills the 6.9 and 6.5-inch slots only from each other.
Do I have to upload every size?
No. Apple says you “only need to provide screenshots for the highest required resolution”. The required 6.3-inch set fills the 6.1-inch slot and below, and a 6.9-inch set fills the 6.5-inch slot.
What file format do they have to be?
PNG or JPEG, RGB, with no transparency and no rounded corners.
Is there still a 6.7-inch screenshot class?
No. It was merged into the 6.9-inch class. Tools and articles that still list it as separate are out of date.
How many screenshots can an App Store listing have?
One to ten per display class and per localisation.
