- No status bar required
- Maximum 10 screenshots per device type
- First 3 screenshots appear in search results
- Pricing information (can change)

How to Create the Right Sizes
Option 1: Screenshot from Simulator
Xcode Simulator exports at exact device dimensions:
1. Run your app in Simulator
2. Select the target device
3. File → Save Screen (Cmd + S)
Option 2: Use a Mockup Tool
Tools like Screenhance let you:
1. Upload any screenshot
2. Export at exact App Store dimensions
3. Add device frames and backgrounds
This is faster if you need multiple sizes from one source image.
Option 3: Design in Figma
Create artboards at exact dimensions, then export. Good for adding text overlays and custom backgrounds.
Quick Reference Cheat Sheet
Most important sizes to have:| Device | Dimensions |
|--------|------------|
| iPhone (primary) | 1290 x 2796 px |
| iPhone (Pro Max) | 1320 x 2868 px |

These three cover 90% of use cases.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size should App Store screenshots be in 2025?
The primary iPhone size is 1290 x 2796 pixels (6.7" display). For iPad, use 2048 x 2732 pixels (12.9" display). Apple scales these for smaller devices automatically, but providing exact sizes for each device type gives the best results.
How many screenshots can I upload to the App Store?
You can upload up to 10 screenshots per device type (iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch). The first 3 appear in search results, so make them count. Use all 10 slots to showcase your app's full feature set.
Do I need different screenshots for each iPhone size?
No, you can provide one set and Apple will scale it. However, for best results on Pro devices with Dynamic Island, provide the 6.9" size (1320 x 2868) separately. The 6.7" size works as a fallback for most devices.
What format should App Store screenshots be?
Use PNG for best quality, especially for screenshots with text and UI elements. JPEG is accepted but may show compression artifacts. Images must be RGB color space with no transparency.
Can I add device frames to App Store screenshots?
Yes, adding device frames is recommended for marketing purposes. They help users visualize your app on their device. Just ensure the final image matches the required dimensions exactly.
Conclusion
App Store screenshot dimensions are strict but straightforward. Start with 1290 x 2796 for iPhone and 2048 x 2732 for iPad.
Get the dimensions right, focus on your first 3 screenshots, and you'll pass review without issues.
