App Store Screenshot Sizes in 2026: The Complete iOS & Android Guide
If you've ever hit a "doesn't match the required size" error while uploading screenshots, the cause is usually mundane: App Store Connect rejects the upload if the pixel dimensions are off by even a single pixel. Rounding errors from resizing tools, or working from an outdated spec sheet, are the usual culprits. This guide covers the screenshot sizes iOS and Google Play require as of 2026.
iOS Screenshot Sizes
Apple requires several sizes based on device aspect ratio. The 6.9-inch size is currently required for new app review, and the rest are commonly submitted alongside it to cover a wider range of devices.
| Device Class | Resolution (px) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 6.9" (iPhone 16 Pro Max, etc.) | 1320 × 2868 | Required |
| 6.7" | 1290 × 2796 | Covers older large devices |
| 6.5" | 1242 × 2688 | Covers older devices |
| 5.5" | 1242 × 2208 | Covers older small devices |
| 13" iPad | 2064 × 2752 | Required for apps that support iPad |
Portrait and landscape apps need to swap width and height values when uploading. Forcing a landscape game into a portrait-shaped screenshot won't get you rejected outright, but it usually looks off once it's live on the store.
Google Play Screenshot Sizes
Google Play is more forgiving than Apple, but its minimums are still non-negotiable.
- Phone screenshots: 1080 × 1920px minimum (JPEG or 24-bit PNG, no alpha channel)
- Image count: 2 minimum, 8 maximum
- Aspect ratio: 16:9 or 9:16 recommended
Feature Graphic (Google Play Only)
The feature graphic is unique to Google Play and locked at a fixed 1024 × 500px. It's the horizontal banner shown at the top of search results and category listings, and it needs to be uploaded separately from your screenshots.
Why a Single Pixel Gets You Rejected
App Store Connect checks the uploaded file against the exact resolution it expects, pixel for pixel. A common mistake is exporting a canvas at a rounded value — say, 1290×2795 instead of 1290×2796 — from a design tool. When that happens, there's often no clear error message; the upload button just stays disabled, or you get bounced back for resubmission. Mistakes like this show up most often when handling several device sizes at once.
Instead of calculating and matching canvas sizes by hand each time, StoreShot exports screenshots pre-sized for each device automatically. Reference the spec table, but let a tool like this handle the actual output — it cuts down on the back-and-forth of rejection and resubmission.
Takeaway
For iOS, cover the 6.9" size (1320×2868) as your baseline, plus three more down to 5.5", and the 13" iPad (2064×2752). For Google Play, the essentials are a 1080×1920 minimum phone screenshot and a 1024×500 feature graphic. The sizes themselves aren't the hard part — hitting the exact pixel value is where most people actually get tripped up.
