App Store Screenshot Sizes for Every Platform: The Complete 2026 Guide

Still using one screenshot everywhere? No wonder your conversion rate won't budge

The latest 2026 data shows that more than 60% of developers still submit the same screenshots to both the App Store and Google Play. The result: rejections, cropping, or key information getting covered. Every platform has different screenshot specs, and submitting blindly just wastes review time.

This 2026 screenshot size guide helps you cover the requirements of every major app store in one go.

2026 screenshot size quick reference for major platforms

For overseas developers: in mainland China, Android apps are distributed mainly through phone makers' and platform app stores (Huawei, Xiaomi, OPPO, vivo, Tencent MyApp) rather than Google Play.

Key finding: 1080×1920 (9:16 portrait) is the most universal size and fits almost every Android app store. But the App Store only accepts the fixed pixel sizes Apple lists (the required tier is 1206×2622 or 1179×2556); you can't mix them.

App Store screenshot specs in detail

Size requirements

The App Store has the strictest screenshot requirements:

• iPhone with Dynamic Island, mid-size (6.3-inch tier): 1206×2622 or 1179×2556 (required, at least 1)
• iPhone with Dynamic Island, large (6.9-inch tier): 1320×2868, 1290×2796 or 1260×2736 (optional; if not provided, 6.5-inch screenshots are scaled)
• iPhone with Face ID, large (6.5-inch tier): 1284×2778 or 1242×2688 (optional)
• iPad 13-inch: 2064×2752 or 2048×2732 (required if the app supports iPad)
• iPhone Duo: outer screen 1398×2034, inner screen 2007×2853 (required from April 2027 for apps built with the iOS 27.1 SDK or later)

Note: when your interface is the same across sizes, Apple recommends providing only the highest-resolution set in the required tier, and App Store Connect scales it down for smaller device tiers. iPhone needs at least one 6.3-inch set; to look sharper on large screens like Pro Max / Plus / Air, add a 6.9-inch set. The above is based on Apple's official Screenshot specifications.

Content requirements

• Clean up the device status bar (time, battery, signal) so it doesn't distract or look messy
• No device frames (unless they're official device models)
• Text must be clear and readable, with a minimum font size of no less than 29pt
• No prices, promotional information or the word "free"
• No time-sensitive words like "NEW" or "UPDATED"

Common mistakes

1. A messy status bar: odd times, low battery or stray notifications look unprofessional; clean it up when capturing or in post-production
2. Text too small: unreadable on a phone screen, hurting the user experience
3. Screenshots from Android devices: the App Store requires pure iOS interfaces; Android interfaces will be rejected

Google Play screenshot specs in detail

Size requirements

Google Play is more flexible:

• Recommended size: 1080×1920 (9:16) or 1920×1080 (16:9)
• Minimum size: 320×180
• Maximum size: 3840×3840

Key: Google Play supports both landscape and portrait screenshots, but we recommend sticking to one orientation. If your app is mainly used in portrait, use 9:16.

Content requirements

• Device frames are allowed (but not required)
• Short text captions are allowed
• No marketing words like "free" or "sale"
• No misleading content

A special element: the Feature Graphic

Google Play lets you upload one "Feature Graphic", sized 1024×500, which appears at the top of the store page. It's important: think of it as your ad cover.

Recommendation: the Feature Graphic should highlight your core selling point, with concise text and strong visual impact.

Chinese Android app store specs

Chinese app stores are fairly consistent, with some differences:

Shared requirements

• Size: 1080×1920 (9:16) is the best choice
• Count: 3–5
• Format: PNG or JPEG
• Content: no competitor brands, nothing illegal or non-compliant

Differences

Special note for Huawei: Huawei AppGallery requires screenshots with a Chinese interface. If your app only has an English version, localize it first.

How to generate multi-platform screenshots efficiently

Adjusting sizes manually for every platform is a pain. A recommended workflow:

1. Design the master version: design one set of screenshots at 1080×1920 as the base version
2. Adapt for the App Store: in AppShot Maker, switch to the iPhone 6.3″ (1206×2622) preset, re-lay out and export; for a sharper large-screen version, add a 6.9″ (1320×2868) set
3. Adapt for Chinese stores: check file sizes and compress where needed
4. Batch export: export screenshots for every platform at once to avoid repeated adjustments

Efficiency tip: design at 1080×1920 first, since it's the most universal size. Then use a tool to adapt to other platforms in bulk; it's 10x faster than adjusting by hand.

New trends in 2026

This year's screenshot specs bring some changes:

• Animated screenshots: some platforms are starting to support GIF or short-video screenshots
• Dark mode: provide both light and dark mode screenshots
• Accessibility: text contrast should meet WCAG 2.1 so visually impaired users can read it

Final thoughts

Screenshot sizes aren't a small detail; they directly affect your approval rate and user experience. Stop using one image everywhere: 10 minutes adjusting to spec saves countless rejections and resubmissions.

The most important step: check your screenshot sizes today and make sure they meet your target platforms' requirements. AppShot Maker adapts to every major platform in one click, so you can stop cropping by hand.
