App Store Screenshot Sizes for iPhone, iPad and Google Play
Exact App Store and Google Play screenshot sizes for 2026, from Apple and Google's own specs: required iPhone and iPad sizes, formats and Play graphics.
- Apple requires at least one screenshot for iPhone with Dynamic Island (medium display): 1206 x 2622 or 1179 x 2556 pixels in portrait.
- If your app runs on iPad, you also need a 13 inch iPad screenshot: 2064 x 2752 or 2048 x 2732.
- Apple accepts 1 to 10 screenshots per size as JPEG or PNG with no transparency, and scales the largest set down for smaller devices.
- Google Play needs at least 2 screenshots, a 512 x 512 icon and a 1024 x 500 feature graphic. Use 1080 x 1920 or larger to qualify for promotion.
Here is the short answer. For the App Store, upload portrait iPhone screenshots at 1320 x 2868 and 1206 x 2622, plus iPad screenshots at 2064 x 2752 if your app runs on iPad. For Google Play, upload at least two 1080 x 1920 phone screenshots, a 512 x 512 icon and a 1024 x 500 feature graphic.
Every size below comes from Apple's App Store Connect screenshot specifications and Google's Play Console help center, checked in November 2026. Both companies update these lists when new devices ship, so we note the date and link the sources at the end.
The minimum set we upload for most apps
We make store screenshots for client apps every week. This is the set that covers the current requirements without making a separate design for every phone ever sold.
| Store and device | Size in pixels (portrait) | Why |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone, Dynamic Island (large) | 1320 x 2868 | Largest iPhone size, so it looks sharp on Pro Max models |
| iPhone, Dynamic Island (medium) | 1206 x 2622 | The size Apple lists as required |
| iPad 13 inch | 2064 x 2752 | Required if the app runs on iPad |
| Google Play phone | 1080 x 1920 or larger, 9:16 | Meets the size Google needs for promotion |
| Google Play feature graphic | 1024 x 500 | Required for every Play listing |
| Google Play icon | 512 x 512 | Required for every Play listing |
What are the required App Store screenshot sizes?
Apple's specification page lists two required device sizes: "At least one screenshot for iPhone with Dynamic Island (medium display)" and, if your app supports iPadOS, "At least one screenshot for iPad 13-inch display."
Apple then fills in the other sizes by scaling. In its words:
If your app's user interface is consistent across multiple device sizes and localizations, you only need to provide screenshots for the highest required resolution. App Store Connect automatically scales them down for smaller device sizes.
Rules that apply to every Apple screenshot
- You can upload 1 to 10 screenshots per device size.
- Accepted formats are .jpeg, .jpg and .png.
- Images can't include alpha channels or transparencies. Exporting a PNG with transparency is a common reason uploads fail.
- Landscape is accepted too: swap the two numbers, for example 2868 x 1320.
Every iPhone screenshot size
Apple groups iPhones by display type rather than by inch size. Each group accepts any of the listed portrait sizes.
| Display group | Example devices | Accepted portrait sizes |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic Island (large) | iPhone Air, 17 Pro Max, 16 Pro Max, 16 Plus, 15 Pro Max | 1320 x 2868, 1290 x 2796, 1260 x 2736 |
| Dynamic Island (medium), required | iPhone 17 Pro, 17, 16 Pro, 16, 15 Pro, 15, 14 Pro | 1206 x 2622, 1179 x 2556 |
| Face ID (large) | iPhone 14 Plus, 13 Pro Max, 12 Pro Max, 11 Pro Max, 11, XR | 1284 x 2778, 1242 x 2688 |
| Face ID (medium) | iPhone 16e, 14, 13, 13 mini, 12, 11 Pro, X | 1170 x 2532, 1125 x 2436, 1080 x 2340 |
| Home Button (large) | iPhone 8 Plus, 7 Plus, 6S Plus | 1242 x 2208 |
| Home Button (medium) | iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation), 8, 7 | 750 x 1334 |
When you skip a group, Apple uses scaled screenshots from a neighboring group. For example, if you do not upload Face ID (medium) screenshots, Apple scales your Dynamic Island (medium) ones.
Every iPad screenshot size
If your app runs on iPad, the 13 inch display is the one that matters. Apple scales it down for the other iPad sizes.
| Display | Example devices | Accepted portrait sizes |
|---|---|---|
| 13 inch, required if app runs on iPad | iPad Pro (M5, M4), iPad Air (M4, M3, M2) | 2064 x 2752, 2048 x 2732 |
| 12.9 inch | iPad Pro (2nd generation) | 2048 x 2732 |
| 11 inch | iPad Pro 11 inch, iPad Air 11 inch, iPad (A16), iPad mini | 1668 x 2388, 1640 x 2360, 1668 x 2420, 1512 x 2316, 1488 x 2266 |
A tip from experience: do not stretch your iPhone screenshots to fill an iPad frame. Reviewers check that screenshots match the device, and a blown-up phone layout looks wrong to customers. If the app runs on iPad, capture it on an iPad or an iPad simulator.
What are the Google Play screenshot and graphic sizes?
Google is more flexible on screenshot sizes but strict about the other graphics. These numbers come from Google's Play Console help page on preview assets.
| Asset | Size | Format and rules |
|---|---|---|
| App icon | 512 x 512 | 32-bit PNG with alpha, up to 1024 KB |
| Feature graphic | 1024 x 500 | JPEG or 24-bit PNG, no alpha |
| Screenshots | 320 to 3840 pixels on each side | JPEG or 24-bit PNG; longest side no more than twice the shortest |
| How many | At least 2 across device types | Up to 8 per device type |
Sizes that make your app eligible for promotion
Google can feature apps in recommendations and other spots on Play, but only if the screenshots are good enough. For apps, Google asks for at least 4 screenshots at a minimum of 1080 pixels:
- Portrait: 9:16, at least 1080 x 1920.
- Landscape: 16:9, at least 1920 x 1080.
What about the app icon?
Google wants a separate 512 x 512 PNG uploaded to the listing. On iOS, the App Store icon comes from your app build rather than a separate upload in the listing. Apple's screenshot page does not cover icons, so check Apple's Human Interface Guidelines for the current icon sizes before you export.
How do you make screenshots people actually read?
Most people never open the full description. They scroll the screenshots and decide. That makes the first two or three images your most important marketing.
- 1Lead with the outcome. Put a short headline on each image, such as "Book a table in 10 seconds," rather than a feature name.
- 2Show the real app. Apple's guideline 2.3.3 asks that screenshots show the app in use, not just a title card, login page or splash screen.
- 3One idea per screenshot. If a screenshot needs a paragraph to explain, split it.
- 4Keep text large. Screenshots appear small in search results, so test them on a phone at real size.
- 5Localize if you sell abroad. Both stores let you upload different screenshots for each language.
- 6Reuse a template. Build one design file at 1320 x 2868, then export the other sizes from it so every set stays consistent.
Common mistakes that block an upload
- Exporting PNGs with transparency, which Apple rejects and Google refuses for the feature graphic.
- Using a size that is one or two pixels off. Apple only accepts the exact sizes listed.
- Uploading iPhone screenshots into the iPad slot.
- Showing an Android phone frame in the App Store, or an iPhone frame on Google Play.
- Leaving placeholder text or test data in the screenshots. Apple's guideline 2.1 says placeholder content should be scrubbed before submission.
Screenshots are one part of a store listing. For the rest, see our guide on how to publish an app on the App Store and the list of common App Store rejection reasons. If your app was built on Base44, the Base44 App Store guide covers that path.
Our mobile app service includes the full store listing: screenshots for every required device size, the feature graphic, copy and the submission itself.
Frequently asked questions
What size should App Store screenshots be in 2026?
Apple requires iPhone with Dynamic Island (medium display) screenshots at 1206 x 2622 or 1179 x 2556. We also upload 1320 x 2868 for large iPhones. If your app runs on iPad, add 2064 x 2752 or 2048 x 2732.
Do I need screenshots for every iPhone size?
No. Apple says that if your interface is consistent across sizes, you only need the highest required resolution, and App Store Connect scales them down for smaller devices.
How many screenshots can I upload to the App Store?
Between 1 and 10 per device size, in JPEG or PNG format, without transparency.
What is the Google Play feature graphic size?
1024 x 500 pixels, as a JPEG or 24-bit PNG with no alpha channel. Every Play listing needs one.
How many screenshots does Google Play require?
At least 2 across device types, and up to 8 per device type. To be eligible for promotion, upload at least 4 screenshots of 1080 pixels or more, such as 1080 x 1920 in portrait.
Can I use the same screenshots on both stores?
You can reuse the design, but export separate files. Apple only accepts its exact sizes, Google needs 24-bit PNG or JPEG, and each store's screenshots should show the matching device.
