App Store Screenshot Requirements in 2026: Complete Checklist

App Store Connect Screenshot Requirements (iOS)Apple requires screenshots for every device size you support. Miss one size and your listing shows a scaled-down version that looks blurry. Here are the exact pixel dimensions as of April 2026:### iPhone Screenshots| Device | Size (px) | Required? | iPhone 16 Pro Max (6.9in) | 1320 x 2868 | Required for all new submissions | iPhone 16 Pro (6.3in) | 1206 x 2622 | Optional (falls back to 6.9in) | iPhone SE / 8 (4.7in) | 750 x 1334 | Optional but recommended Number of screenshots: Minimum 1, maximum 10. Apple recommends at least 4. The first 3 appear in search results without tapping - these are your conversion drivers.### iPad Screenshots| Device | Size (px) | Required? | iPad Pro 13in (M4) | 2064 x 2752 | Required if your app runs on iPad | iPad Pro 11in | 1668 x 2388 | Optional ### Format Rules- PNG or JPEG only (no WebP, no AVIF)- RGB color space (not CMYK)- No alpha transparency on iPhone screenshots- Landscape or portrait - but be consistent within a set- No device bezels in the image itself (Apple adds them in the listing)## Google Play Console Screenshot Requirements (Android)Google Play is more flexible than Apple but has its own gotchas:### Phone Screenshots| Type | Size | Required? | Phone | Min 320px, max 3840px on any side. Aspect ratio max 2:1 | At least 2 screenshots required | 7in Tablet | Same range | Optional but recommended | 10in Tablet | Same range | Optional but recommended ### Feature GraphicGoogle Play requires a feature graphic (1024 x 500 px) that appears at the top of your listing. This is NOT a screenshot - it is a marketing banner.## The Localization TrapBoth Apple and Google allow you to upload separate screenshots per locale. If you only upload English screenshots, users in Japan, Germany, and Brazil see English text - and your conversion rate in those markets drops by 30-60%.The fix: localize your screenshots for every market you target. German text is 35% longer than English. Arabic reads right-to-left.Estimate text growth with our free Text Expansion Calculator, and look up locale codes with our Locale Code Lookup.## Common Rejection Reasons- Wrong dimensions - the single most common rejection.- Misleading screenshots - showing features that do not exist.- Device bezels in the image - Apple adds their own frames.- Text too small to read at search-result size.- Localization mismatch - English screenshots in a Japanese locale slot.## Submission Checklist- iPhone 16 Pro Max at 1320 x 2868- iPad Pro 13in at 2064 x 2752 (if iPad supported)- Google Play feature graphic at 1024 x 500- At least 4 screenshots per device (Apple) / 2 (Google)- First 3 screenshots tell a complete story- Screenshots localized for top 5 target markets- No device bezels baked into the image- PNG or JPEG, RGB, no transparencyGenerate localized screenshots automatically - Try Shotlingo free.## Further Reading- 40+ language localization guides- RTL screenshot preview tool- Google Play vs App Store compared
