Quick Summary

Apple requires App Store screenshots in specific sizes. You don't need to cover every single device — Apple uses a cascading auto-fill system. Here's the minimum you need to cover all current iPhones:

Minimum Requirement

Submit 6.7" (1290×2796 px) screenshots to cover all modern iPhones. Apple auto-fills all 6.1", 5.8", 5.4", and 4.7" slots from this.

🏆

Full Coverage

Submit custom sets for 6.9", 6.7", 6.5", 5.5", and both iPad sizes for fully optimized, per-device visuals.

Required vs. Auto-Filled — What You Actually Need

Apple's App Store Connect uses a cascading fallback system. If you don't provide screenshots for a specific display size, it will use your screenshots from a larger display category. This means you can launch with as few as 2 screenshot sets and cover every iPhone on the market.

💡 Pro tip: Even though 5.5" screenshots auto-fill 4.7", it's best practice to submit both. iPhone SE users are a significant audience and 5.5" screenshots are not perfectly proportioned for the 4.7" display.

Legacy iPhone Screenshot Sizes

These sizes are no longer required by App Store Connect, but are listed here for reference if you're supporting older devices or updating an older app.

Display Size Resolution (px) Devices Notes
3.5" Retina 640 × 960 iPhone 4s No longer supported in App Store Connect
3.5" Non-Retina 320 × 480 iPhone 3GS and earlier No longer supported
4.0" 640 × 1136 iPhone 5, 5s, 5c, SE (1st gen) No longer required

Pro tips for App Store screenshots in 2026

🎯 Start with 6.7"

Design and perfect your 6.7" screenshots first. This covers the most devices automatically. Once happy with the design, replicate it for 5.5" and iPad.

📐 Don't stretch — reframe

When creating screenshots for 5.5" after designing for 6.7", don't just scale down. Redesign the layout specifically for the taller-proportioned 5.5" canvas.

🌍 Localize per language

App Store Connect lets you upload entirely different screenshot sets per language. This is one of the highest-leverage ASO (App Store Optimization) improvements you can make.

🔄 Update on new device releases

When Apple releases new iPhone models with new screen sizes (like the 6.9" iPhone 16 Pro Max), upload optimized screenshots for the new dimension. Early adopters browse the store heavily.

📊 Use App Store A/B testing

App Store Connect supports product page optimization experiments. Test two different screenshot designs against each other to find which converts better.

🎬 Consider App Previews

App Previews (short video clips) appear before screenshots in the App Store. They auto-play on supported devices and can significantly boost conversion rates when done well.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the required screenshot size for iPhone 16 Pro Max?

The iPhone 16 Pro Max uses a 6.9" display at 1320×2868 px. You can also use the 6.7" size (1290×2796 px) which will be auto-scaled. For optimal sharpness on the latest hardware, upload a native 1320×2868 px screenshot.

Which screenshot size covers the most iPhones?

The 6.7" size (1290×2796 px) auto-fills all other modern iPhone sizes — 6.1", 5.8", 5.4", 4.7". Submitting just the 6.7" set covers every current iPhone except the iPhone SE and 5.5" legacy devices.

Do I need separate screenshots for iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro?

No. Both use the 6.1" display category, which is auto-filled from your 6.7" submission. You only need separate screenshots if you want completely different visuals per device.

Can I upload landscape screenshots to the App Store?

Yes. The App Store accepts both portrait and landscape screenshots. The orientation must match the supported orientations of your app. For portrait-only apps, use portrait screenshots.

What's the maximum file size for App Store screenshots?

Apple allows up to 500 MB per screenshot. In practice, full-resolution PNG files are 2–5 MB and JPEG at 90% quality are typically under 1 MB. There is no practical file size concern with modern screenshots.

Does the App Store display screenshots in portrait or landscape in search results?

In portrait orientation apps, the first screenshot is displayed vertically in search results. In landscape-only apps, the first screenshot appears horizontally and typically shows 1.5 screenshots side-by-side. Portrait listings get more visual real estate in search results.

Should I use 2× or 3× resolution for screenshots?

For the best quality, match the screen's native scale factor. Most modern iPhones use 3× (460 PPI Super Retina XDR). The pixel dimensions in our table already reflect the correct native resolution — use those exact sizes.
