App Store & Google Play Screenshot Sizes (2026)
Every required and optional screenshot dimension for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Watch, Apple TV, Vision Pro, and Google Play - straight from Apple and Google's current specs.
Quick answer
What screenshot sizes do the App Store and Google Play require in 2026?
Apple requires one 6.9-inch iPhone screenshot at 1260×2736 px portrait, plus a 13-inch iPad screenshot at 2064×2752 px if your app supports iPad. Google Play requires at least two phone screenshots (minimum 1080×1920 px portrait or 1920×1080 px landscape) and a 1024×500 px feature graphic. Neither platform allows alpha transparency.
- iPhone (required): 6.9", 1260×2736 px portrait
- iPad (required if your app supports iPad): 13", 2064×2752 px portrait
- Google Play phone (required): at least 2 screenshots, minimum 1080×1920 px portrait
- Google Play feature graphic (required): 1024×500 px
- No alpha channel or transparency on screenshots for either store
On this page
App Store Connect and Google Play Console both reject screenshots that don't match an exact accepted pixel size - close enough doesn't count. This page is the current, verified spec for every device size class both stores accept, plus the counts and file-format rules that trip people up during submission.
Skip the manual resizing: AppGrowthKit’s editor designs your screenshot once and exports every required size automatically. See the step-by-step section below.
iPhone screenshot sizes
| Display | Portrait (px) | Landscape (px) | Required? | Example devices |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6.9" | 1260×2736 | 2736×1260 | Yes | iPhone Air, 17 Pro Max, 16 Pro Max, 16 Plus, 15 Pro Max, 15 Plus, 14 Pro Max |
| 6.5" | 1284×2778 or 1242×2688 | 2778×1284 or 2688×1242 | Only if 6.9" isn’t provided | iPhone 14 Plus, 13 Pro Max, 12 Pro Max, 11 Pro Max, 11, XS Max, XR |
| 6.3" | 1179×2556 or 1206×2622 | 2556×1179 or 2622×1206 | No | iPhone 17 Pro, 17, 16 Pro, 16, 15 Pro, 15, 14 Pro |
| 6.1" | 1170×2532, 1125×2436, or 1080×2340 | 2532×1170, 2436×1125, or 2340×1080 | No | iPhone 17e, 16e, 14, 13 Pro, 13, 13 mini, 12 Pro, 12, 12 mini, 11 Pro, XS, X |
| 5.5" | 1242×2208 | 2208×1242 | No | iPhone 8 Plus, 7 Plus, 6S Plus, 6 Plus |
Only the 6.9" size is required. If you don’t upload the smaller optional sizes, Apple scales your 6.9" (or 6.5") screenshots down to fill them automatically.
iPad screenshot sizes
| Display | Portrait (px) | Landscape (px) | Required? | Example devices |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13" | 2064×2752 or 2048×2732 | 2752×2064 or 2732×2048 | Yes, if app supports iPad | iPad Pro (M5, M4, 6th-1st gen), iPad Air (M4, M3, M2) |
| 12.9" | 2048×2732 | 2732×2048 | No | iPad Pro (2nd gen) |
| 11" | 1488×2266, 1668×2420, 1668×2388, or 1640×2360 | 2266×1488, 2420×1668, 2388×1668, or 2360×1640 | No | iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad, iPad mini (various gens) |
| 10.5" | 1668×2224 | 2224×1668 | No | iPad Pro, iPad Air (3rd gen), iPad (9th-7th gen) |
| 9.7" | 1536×2048 (with status bar) | 2048×1536 (with status bar) | No | iPad Pro, iPad Air, iPad Air 2, iPad, iPad mini |
The 13" size is required only if your app runs on iPad at all - skip this whole table if you ship iPhone-only.
Apple Watch, Mac, Apple TV, and Vision Pro
| Platform | Size (px) | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| Apple Watch | 422×514 (Ultra 3) · 410×502 (Ultra 2, Ultra) · 416×496 (Series 11, 10) · 396×484 (Series 9, 8, 7) · 368×448 (Series 6, 5, 4, SE, SE 2) · 312×390 (Series 3) | Yes, for Watch apps |
| Mac | 1280×800, 1440×900, 2560×1600, or 2880×1800 (16:10) | Yes, for Mac apps |
| Apple TV | 1920×1080 or 3840×2160 | Yes, for tvOS apps |
| Vision Pro | 3840×2160 | Yes, for visionOS apps |
Watch screenshots must use the same size consistently across every localization - mixing sizes across languages gets flagged in review.
Google Play screenshot sizes
| Asset | Size / rule | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| App icon | 512×512 px, 32-bit PNG with alpha, max 1024KB | Yes |
| Feature graphic | 1024×500 px, JPEG or 24-bit PNG, no alpha | Yes |
| Phone screenshots | Min 1080×1920 px portrait (9:16) or 1920×1080 px landscape (16:9); at least 2 required, 4+ recommended, up to 8 accepted | Yes (min. 2) |
| 7"/10" tablet & Chromebook | 1080-7680 px, 16:9 landscape or 9:16 portrait; at least 4 recommended | Optional unless you target those form factors |
| Android TV | At least 1 screenshot; TV banner 1280×720 px | Yes, for TV apps |
| Wear OS | Minimum 384×384 px, 1:1, no transparent background | Yes, for Wear OS apps |
All screenshots (not the icon) must be JPEG or 24-bit PNG with no alpha channel, between 320px and 3840px per side, with the longest side no more than twice the shortest.
How many screenshots can you upload?
| Store | Minimum | Recommended | Maximum |
|---|---|---|---|
| App Store (per device family) | 1 | 3-5 that tell a story | 10 |
| Google Play phone | 2 | 4+ for promotion eligibility | 8 |
| Google Play tablet | 0 (optional) | 4 | 8 |
File format, color space, and alpha rules
- App Store: JPEG, JPG, or PNG only - no alpha channels or transparency on any screenshot.
- Google Play screenshots: JPEG or 24-bit PNG - no alpha channel.
- Google Play app icon: 32-bit PNG with alpha is required (the one asset where transparency is expected).
- Both stores require RGB color - CMYK or grayscale source files will get flagged on upload.
Export every required size in under 10 minutes
You don’t need to manually resize a canvas for every device class. Here’s the fastest path from a raw app screen to a submission-ready export set.
Upload your raw app screen
Drop a raw, unedited screenshot from your app into AppGrowthKit’s editor. Nothing is uploaded to a server - it renders locally in your browser.
Pick your required device frames
Select 6.9" iPhone and, if your app supports it, 13" iPad. Add any optional sizes you want higher-fidelity control over.
Design once with AI or manually
Describe your app and let AI generate layout, background, and headline copy, or build it by hand in the layer editor.
Preview at exact pixel dimensions
AppGrowthKit renders a live preview scaled to each platform’s exact accepted pixel size, so what you see is what gets submitted.
Export every size in one click
Download a store-ready set with every required App Store and Google Play dimension, correctly named. Need icon sizes too? Run the export through the App Icon Generator.
Recap: the only two sizes most apps actually need
- iPhone: 6.9", 1260×2736 px portrait - the only required App Store size for iPhone-only apps.
- iPad: 13", 2064×2752 px portrait - required only if your app supports iPad.
- Google Play: at least 2 phone screenshots at 1080×1920 px minimum, plus a 1024×500 px feature graphic.
- No alpha/transparency on any screenshot for either store - flatten your background before exporting.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need screenshots for every iPhone display size?
No. Only the 6.9" size is required. Apple automatically scales it down to fill the smaller optional size classes if you don’t upload them separately.
What happens if I upload the wrong screenshot size?
App Store Connect and Google Play Console both reject the upload with a dimension error - the file must exactly match one of the accepted pixel sizes for that slot, not just be close.
Do I need iPad screenshots if my app isn’t optimized for iPad?
No. The 13" iPad screenshot is only required if your app supports the iPad idiom at all.
What’s the maximum number of screenshots I can upload?
Up to 10 per device family on the App Store, and up to 8 per device type on Google Play.
Can App Store or Google Play screenshots have a transparent background?
No. Neither store accepts an alpha channel on screenshots. The one exception is the Google Play app icon, which requires a 32-bit PNG with alpha.
What size is the Google Play feature graphic?
1024×500 px, delivered as JPEG or 24-bit PNG without an alpha channel.
Are older iPhone sizes like the 4.7" or iPhone SE still needed?
Only if your app still supports that hardware. Most 2026 App Store submissions only need the 6.9" required size plus 13" for iPad.
Does screenshot size affect App Store ranking?
Pixel dimensions themselves aren’t a ranking signal, but screenshots that don’t meet spec get rejected at submission, and low-converting screenshots hurt your install rate - which does affect ASO indirectly.
What’s the fastest way to generate every required size?
Design your screenshot once in a tool that previews at each platform’s exact accepted pixel dimensions and exports every size automatically - see the step-by-step section above.
