App Store & Google Play screenshot sizes (2026 cheat sheet)
Every screenshot size and rule you need to publish on the App Store and Google Play: required iPhone and iPad sizes, Play's 2:1 rule, file formats, icons and feature graphics — plus a free checker.
Store screenshots are your app's shop window, and both stores reject uploads that don't match their rules. Here's every size in one place — and a way to check your files in seconds.
Apple App Store

App Store rules
- 1 to 10 screenshots per device size, in
.png,.jpgor.jpeg. - No transparency — flatten PNGs onto a solid background.
- Apple scales your largest set down for smaller displays, so one great 6.9" set is enough for most apps.
- App icon: 1024 × 1024 px PNG, no transparency, no rounded corners (Apple applies the mask).
- App previews (videos): 15–30 seconds; up to 3 per size.
Google Play
| Asset | Size | Format |
|---|---|---|
| Phone screenshots | 320–3840 px per side, long side ≤ 2× short side. Recommended 1080 × 1920 (or 1920 × 1080) | JPEG or 24-bit PNG, no alpha, ≤ 8 MB |
| Tablet screenshots (7" and 10") | Same rules; 1200 × 1920 or larger is common | JPEG or 24-bit PNG |
| App icon | 512 × 512 px | 32-bit PNG, ≤ 1 MB |
| Feature graphic | 1024 × 500 px | JPEG or 24-bit PNG, no alpha |
- At least 2 and up to 8 screenshots per device type.
- To be eligible for promotion in Play's recommendations, provide at least 4 screenshots of at least 1080 px on the short side.
The 2:1 trap
A raw iPhone 16 screenshot is 1179 × 2556 — an aspect ratio of about 2.17:1. That's fine for Apple but too tall for Google Play, whose maximum is 2:1. Most modern Android screenshots (19.5:9 or 20:9) hit the same limit.
The fix: place the screenshot on a 1080 × 1920 canvas with a background colour and a headline, or export a framed mockup from the App checker and crop it to 9:16.
Screenshots that convert
- Lead with the benefit. The first two screenshots are what most people see in search results. Show the main outcome, not the login screen.
- Add a short caption above each screen — 3 to 6 words, large and readable on a phone.
- Use real content, not "Lorem ipsum" or empty states.
- Keep important UI out of the safe areas — check with the safe-area overlay so nothing hides under the Dynamic Island in your frames.
- Localise captions for your biggest markets.

FAQ
What size are App Store screenshots in 2026?
For iPhone, upload 6.9-inch screenshots: 1320×2868, 1290×2796 or 1260×2736 pixels portrait (or the landscape equivalents). If your app runs on iPad, add 13-inch iPad screenshots at 2064×2752 or 2048×2732. Smaller sizes are scaled from these.
What size should Google Play screenshots be?
JPEG or 24-bit PNG, each side between 320 and 3840 pixels, and the long side no more than twice the short side. 1080×1920 (portrait) or 1920×1080 (landscape) is the safest choice.
Why does Google Play reject my iPhone screenshots?
Modern iPhone screenshots are about 19.5:9, which is longer than Play's 2:1 maximum. Add padding or a background frame to bring them to 9:16, for example 1080×1920.
