> Pixel sizes for iPad screenshots (13-inch required: 2064 × 2752 or 2048 × 2732), plus the short lists for 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.

**Short answer:** For an app that runs on iPad, the one required set is the 13-inch class: `2064 × 2752` or `2048 × 2732` px in portrait. Leave the 12.9-inch and 11-inch slots empty and Apple scales them from it. Mac, Watch, Apple TV and Vision Pro sizes follow below.

## 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](https://flexdger.com/blog/screenshot-dimensions-are-wrong) explains why. The side-by-side view of every iPhone and iPad class is in the [App Store screenshot sizes guide](https://flexdger.com/guides/app-store-screenshot-sizes), and the [screenshot size calculator](https://flexdger.com/tools/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](https://flexdger.com/blog/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.
