App Store screenshot sizes beyond iPhone: iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Vision Pro
iPhone is the famous list, but each other Apple platform has its own, and they are short. This page gathers the exact pixel sizes for iPad (one required class, the rest scaled), Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Vision Pro.

All platforms at a glance
| Platform | Accepted sizes (px) | What to remember |
|---|---|---|
| iPad | 2064 × 2752 or 2048 × 2732 for the 13″ class | Required if the app runs on iPad; other classes are filled by scaling |
| Mac | 1280 × 800, 1440 × 900, 2560 × 1600, 2880 × 1800 | All 16:10 |
| Apple Watch | One size per case size, 312 × 390 up to 422 × 514 | Same size across all localisations |
| Apple TV | 1920 × 1080 or 3840 × 2160 | Required for Apple TV apps |
| Vision Pro | 3840 × 2160 | Required for Vision Pro apps |
iPad: one class you cannot skip
Apple puts a single condition on the 13″ class: required if app runs on iPad. iPhone has an alternative route through its neighbouring classes. iPad does not, so this set is the entry fee for being on the platform at all.
Every iPad class
| iPad class | Portrait | Landscape | Filled from |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13″ | 2064 × 2752, 2048 × 2732 | 2752 × 2064, 2732 × 2048 | (required) |
| 12.9″ | 2048 × 2732 | 2732 × 2048 | 13″ |
| 11″ | 1488 × 2266, 1668 × 2420, 1668 × 2388, 1640 × 2360 | 2266 × 1488, 2420 × 1668, 2388 × 1668, 2360 × 1640 | 13″ |
| 10.5″ | 1668 × 2224 | 2224 × 1668 | 12.9″ |
| 9.7″ (legacy) | 1536 × 2008, 1536 × 2048, 768 × 1004, 768 × 1024 | 2008 × 1536, 2048 × 1536, 1004 × 768, 1024 × 768 | 10.5″ |
Values were read from Apple's screenshot specifications on 1 September 2026
and compared again on 12 October 2026. In the legacy 9.7″ row, the
1536 pair is in pixels, without the status bar
(1536 × 2008) or with it (1536 × 2048),
and the 768 pair is that same screen at 1×. If any of
these gets refused, the
dimensions error walkthrough explains why. The side-by-side view of every
iPhone and iPad class is in the
App Store screenshot sizes guide,
and the screenshot size calculator
will test a file against it.
The fill chain has more than one link
Scaling does not happen in a single jump. 12.9″ comes from 13″, 10.5″ from 12.9″, and 9.7″ from 10.5″, so one 13″ upload does not feed the bottom of the ladder directly. The old devices at the bottom have a small share of most installs, which is why it seldom matters. If they are your audience, though, this chain explains why the listing looks softer on them than you expected.
Capturing from the Simulator
Xcode 27.0's Simulator draws the iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) at
2064 × 2752, a size on the 13″ list, so a capture can
go straight up without resizing. The pitfall is the file type:
xcrun simctl io <device> screenshot --type=png writes a PNG
with an alpha channel, and Apple's page says “Images can't include alpha
channels or transparencies.” Flatten the file with
sips -s format jpeg -s formatOptions 95 in.png --out out.jpg
(on an iPhone capture this produced an RGB JPEG with no alpha) and check it
with sips -g hasAlpha out.jpg.
Composing for a 4:3 screen
An iPad frame is close to 4:3, where a phone is about 19.5:9. Stretch a phone layout across it and the stretch shows, mostly in the type, which grows in one direction only. If iPad matters to you, design its set separately.
Mac
Mac apps need screenshots, and the accepted list has four entries, all of them
16:10: 1280 × 800, 1440 × 900,
2560 × 1600 and 2880 × 1800. The larger
pair is the smaller pair at @2×, which means there are really two
layouts: build one and export its double.
Raw window captures seldom match, since a window has whatever shape you dragged it to and most displays are not 16:10 either (a 16:9 monitor, a 3:2 laptop, an ultrawide). Set the window on a 16:10 canvas rather than cropping. Cropping removes the window frame, which is precisely the cue that tells a viewer this is a Mac app.
Apple Watch
| Models | Size |
|---|---|
| Ultra 4, Ultra 3 | 422 × 514 |
| Ultra 2, Ultra | 410 × 502 |
| Series 12, Series 11, Series 10 | 416 × 496 |
| Series 9, 8, 7 | 396 × 484 |
| Series 6, 5, 4, SE 3, SE 2, SE | 368 × 448 |
| Series 3, 2, 1 | 312 × 390 |
Watch apps need screenshots, with a rule found on no other platform: you must use the same Apple Watch size in every localisation. So the practical question is not which watch you own but which size you can afford to produce in each language you ship.
Apple TV and Vision Pro
| Platform | Accepted sizes | Required |
|---|---|---|
| Apple TV | 1920 × 1080, 3840 × 2160 | for Apple TV apps |
| Apple Vision Pro | 3840 × 2160 | for Vision Pro |
Both lists contain 3840 × 2160, and that is all the two
platforms have in common. A TV image is viewed from across a room with a
remote in hand, so it needs big type, few elements and strong contrast. A
Vision Pro image shows an interface hovering in space, read at arm's length.
One file will be accepted by either slot, but it will not be right for
both.
The Mac, Watch, Apple TV and Vision Pro lists were read from the same Apple page on 1 September 2026 and compared again on 12 October 2026. The rules behind resolution in general are in App Store screenshot resolution.
Questions
Do I have to upload iPad screenshots?
Only if the app runs on iPad. In that case the 13-inch class is required: 2064 × 2752 or 2048 × 2732 px in portrait.
What happens to the 12.9-inch and 11-inch slots if I leave them empty?
Apple fills them by scaling down from the 13-inch set you supply, so they are optional.
Which sizes can a Mac App Store screenshot have?
Four: 1280 × 800, 1440 × 900, 2560 × 1600 and 2880 × 1800, all in a 16:10 ratio.
Do Apple Watch screenshots have one common size?
No. Each case size has its own, from 312 × 390 for Series 1 to 3 up to 422 × 514 for Ultra 4 and Ultra 3.
Which resolutions does Apple TV accept?
1920 × 1080 and 3840 × 2160.
Which resolution does Apple Vision Pro accept?
3840 × 2160, the single size on its list.
