App Store screenshot sizes for iPhone
The pixel sizes App Store Connect accepts for iPhone, the set it insists on since October 2026 (6.3-inch), and the slots it fills on its own by scaling.
Last updated: 12 October 2026
An iPhone listing needs two uploads at most. The first is mandatory: the 6.3″ class, named by Apple “iPhone with Dynamic Island (medium display)”, at 1206 × 2622 px or 1179 × 2556 px. The second is optional but worth it: the 6.9″ class, which takes 1320 × 2868 px, 1290 × 2796 px (the old 6.7″ format, now merged in) or 1260 × 2736 px (iPhone Air). Files are PNG or JPEG, RGB, flat, with square corners.
Where each number comes from
No size on this page is arbitrary. A screen is measured in points, a point becomes 3 pixels on all these phones, and the screenshot is the product. The iPhone 16 Pro is 402 pt wide, so its capture is 1206 px wide. Once you know that, you can rebuild any row below from a spec sheet instead of trusting a list.
Read the first column as the handset, not as the upload slot. A 6.7″ phone is still 6.7″ on the desk, yet Apple files its screenshots under 6.9″. Likewise the iPhone Air, a 6.5″ device, is uploaded with the 6.9″ set at 1260 × 2736.
| Handset | Screen (pt) | Factor | Capture (px, portrait) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5.5″ (8 Plus) | 414 × 736 | 3× | 1242 × 2208 |
| 6.1″ (12/13/14, 16e) | 390 × 844 | 3× | 1170 × 2532 |
| 6.1″ (14 Pro, 15, 15 Pro, 16) | 393 × 852 | 3× | 1179 × 2556 |
| 6.3″ (16 Pro, 17, 17 Pro) | 402 × 874 | 3× | 1206 × 2622 |
| 6.5″ (11 Pro Max, XS Max) | 414 × 896 | 3× | 1242 × 2688 |
| 6.5″ (12/13 Pro Max) | 428 × 926 | 3× | 1284 × 2778 |
| 6.5″ (iPhone Air) | 420 × 912 | 3× | 1260 × 2736 |
| 6.7″ (15/16 Plus, 14/15 Pro Max) | 430 × 932 | 3× | 1290 × 2796 |
| 6.9″ (16/17 Pro Max) | 440 × 956 | 3× | 1320 × 2868 |
Treat the requirement list as a moving target. Apple rewrote it more than once, the latest time in October 2026, when the 6.3″ class became the one that must be supplied and the classes stopped being named by diagonal. Multiplication does not move: 393 pt at 3× is 1179 px for as long as such a phone exists. Which sets are compulsory is a decision made in Cupertino, so open Apple's page the day you upload.
What App Store Connect does for you
You are not asked to deliver every class. Apple's wording is that only the highest required resolution has to be supplied, and the console resizes downward. Concretely, your 6.3″ set fills the 6.1″ slot and all below it, while a 6.9″ set fills the 6.5″ slot.
Apple's table of specifications, as it stood on 8 October 2026, links the classes in this order: 6.9″ is filled from 6.5″ and 6.5″ from 6.9″ (each only from the other), 6.3″ from 6.5″, 6.1″ from 6.3″, 5.5″ from 6.1″, and 4.7″ from 5.5″. The classes now carry screen-type names: “iPhone with Dynamic Island (large display)” for 6.9″, “iPhone with Face ID (large display)” for 6.5″ and “iPhone with Face ID (medium display)” for 6.1″. iPad needs several hops instead of one, and iPad App Store screenshot sizes lays them out.
Two side effects are worth planning for:
- Shrinking blurs small type. The aspect ratio survives, so nothing is trimmed, but any glyph under about 28 px in the original loses its edges once the image is reduced.
- The ratios are close, not identical. A 1290 × 2796 image is 1:2.167 and a 1242 × 2688 one is 1:2.164. Apple absorbs the gap, yet art that touches the extreme edge can land a pixel or two off.
Preflight list: what gets a file bounced
- Format: PNG or JPEG. HEIC and WebP are turned away.
- Colour: RGB. A CMYK file from a print workflow is refused.
- Transparency. This is the usual culprit. An export that carries an alpha channel fails, even when every pixel looks opaque.
- Corners and bezels: leave them out. Apple adds the device frame.
- Count: one to ten images per class, shown in upload order.
- Dimensions off by a single pixel trigger the “dimensions are wrong” error.
Hitting the target without resampling
Pick a design canvas that scales to the target with one clean factor, then scale the whole artboard at once. Ours is 923 px wide: that is a 393 pt screen at 2.3486×, so the jump to 1179 px is a single multiplication and the layout is never resampled piecemeal. Moving elements around after the export undoes the benefit.
Questions
Which iPhone screenshot size do I have to upload?
The 6.3-inch set, which Apple labels “iPhone with Dynamic Island (medium display)”: 1206 × 2622 or 1179 × 2556 px. If you want the big-phone slot covered natively, add a 6.9-inch set (1320 × 2868, 1290 × 2796 or 1260 × 2736 px).
Can I skip the smaller sizes?
Yes. App Store Connect asks only for the largest required resolution and derives the rest. The 6.3-inch upload feeds the 6.1-inch slot and everything below it, and a 6.9-inch upload feeds the 6.5-inch slot.
Which file types does App Store Connect accept?
PNG or JPEG in RGB, with no alpha channel and no rounded corners.
Does a 6.7-inch screenshot class still exist?
No, it was folded into the 6.9-inch class. A guide that lists 6.7 as its own slot predates the change.
What is the limit per listing?
Between one and ten images for each display class and each localisation.
