App Store Screenshot Sizes 2026: The Complete Guide for iPhone & iPad

Apple simplified its screenshot requirements in September 2024 — you now only need to submit one iPhone size and Apple scales it for everything else. This guide covers the new required dimensions, every optional class, and what changed for the iPhone 17 lineup.

The Big Change: One Required Size Since 2024

Before September 2024, Apple required separate screenshot sets for the 6.5" and 5.5" display classes. That changed with a policy update — now you only need to submit screenshots for the 6.9-inch display class. Apple automatically scales those for all smaller iPhones.

For iPad-compatible apps, the same simplification applies: submit the 13-inch iPad size and Apple scales it for older models.

TL;DR for 2026

iPhone only app → submit 1320 × 2868 (6.9"). That's it.

iPhone + iPad app → also submit 2064 × 2752 (13" iPad).

Required iPhone Screenshot Size (2026)

Display ClassSize (px)Covers
6.9" REQUIRED1320 × 2868iPhone 17 Pro Max, 16 Pro Max, 16 Plus, 15 Pro Max, 15 Plus, 14 Pro Max

Both 1320 × 2868 and 1260 × 2736 are accepted for the 6.9" class. Use 1320 × 2868 — it matches the iPhone 16/17 Pro Max native resolution and renders the sharpest.

Optional iPhone Screenshot Sizes

These are no longer required but you can still submit them if you want pixel-perfect control over how your listing looks on older devices.

Display ClassSize (px)Devices

4.7"750 × 1334iPhone SE 2nd/3rd gen, 8, 7

iPad Screenshot Sizes (2026)

iPad screenshots are only required if your app supports iPad. The 13" size is required; everything else is optional and auto-scaled.

Frequently Asked Questions

Has anything changed for iPhone 17?

The iPhone 17 Pro Max uses the same 6.9" display class as the iPhone 16 Pro Max, so 1320 × 2868 covers both. The iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and iPhone Air fall in the optional 6.3" and 6.5" classes.

Do I still need to submit 1290 × 2796?

No. The 1290 × 2796 size (iPhone 16 Plus native resolution) falls in the 6.5" optional class. Since the 6.9" size is required and covers everything above, 1290 × 2796 is rarely worth submitting separately.

Can I submit the same image for all sizes?

Yes — if pixel dimensions match the required class. Make App Shots renders the same design template at each required size automatically.

What happens if I only submit one size?

Since September 2024, submitting just the 6.9" size (1320 × 2868) is fully compliant. Apple scales it for all other iPhones. You won't be blocked from submitting.

Do screenshot sizes change when new iPhones come out?

Apple adds a new display class only when a genuinely new screen resolution is introduced. The 6.9" class covers all recent Pro Max models, so new iPhones typically slot into an existing class.
