iPhone App Store Screenshot Sizes: Complete Reference Guide
Getting your App Store screenshot sizes right is essential. Apple requires specific pixel dimensions for each device category, and uploading incorrectly sized screenshots will result in rejection during the App Store Connect upload process. This reference guide covers every iPhone screenshot size you need, including the latest iPhone 16 series.

Important Note
You don't need to provide screenshots for every size category. App Store Connect uses a “fall-forward” system — if you provide the 6.7-inch screenshots, they'll be used for all compatible device sizes. At minimum, provide 6.7-inch and 5.5-inch sizes to cover all iPhone users.
Which Sizes Matter Most?
While Apple supports many screenshot size categories, not all of them carry equal weight. Here's a practical priority guide based on current iPhone market share:
Priority 1: 6.7-inch (1290 × 2796)
This is the most important size to get right. It covers iPhone 15 Pro Max, 15 Plus, and iPhone 16 Plus — which represent a significant portion of the active iPhone userbase. The 6.7-inch screenshots are also used as the “hero” display in many App Store editorial features. Screenlift uses this as its primary export size.
Priority 2: 6.5-inch (1284 × 2778)
Covers iPhone 14 Plus, 13 Pro Max, 12 Pro Max, and 11 Pro Max. While newer devices have shifted to 6.7-inch, the 6.5-inch category still has a large installed base. Apple will automatically scale 6.7-inch screenshots down for 6.5-inch devices if you don't provide separate 6.5-inch assets.
Priority 3: 5.5-inch (1242 × 2208)
Required if you want to support older devices like iPhone 8 Plus and 7 Plus. While the active userbase for these devices is declining, some App Store features still reference this size category. Provide it if your app supports these older devices.
File Specifications
Beyond pixel dimensions, Apple has specific technical requirements for screenshot files:
File Format
PNG (recommended) or JPEG. PNG preserves quality without compression artifacts.
Color Space
sRGB or Display P3. Most tools export as sRGB by default, which is fine for most apps.
Maximum File Size
No official maximum, but keep files under 10MB for optimal upload speed. Typical sizes are 2-5MB.
Transparency
Not allowed. All pixels must be fully opaque. Use a solid or gradient background to fill the entire image.
Quantity
Minimum 1, maximum 10 per device size. Apple recommends at least 3 for optimal presentation.
Aspect Ratio
Must match the exact dimensions for the target device. Scaling or cropping to fit is not supported.
How to Capture iPhone Screenshots
There are several methods to capture screenshots at the correct pixel dimensions:
Xcode Simulator
The most common method for developers. Open your app in the Xcode Simulator with the target device selected (e.g., iPhone 16 Pro Max), then press Cmd + S to save a screenshot. The simulator captures at the exact device pixel resolution.
Physical Device
On a physical iPhone, press the side button and volume up simultaneously. Screenshots are saved at the device's native resolution. Transfer them to your Mac via AirDrop or iCloud Photos.
Automated Screenshots with Fastlane
For apps available in multiple languages, Fastlane's snapshot tool can automate screenshot capture across all device sizes and languages. This is especially useful for localized apps that need dozens of screenshot variations.
Creating Professional Screenshots with Frames
Raw simulator or device screenshots work for App Store submission, but professional marketing screenshots with device frames, backgrounds, and promotional text perform significantly better for conversion. Studies consistently show that framed screenshots with clear promotional text achieve 25-40% higher conversion rates than raw screenshots.
The process is straightforward:
- Capture your raw screenshots at the correct resolution (Simulator or device)
- Open Screenlift's editor and select the matching device frame
- Upload your screenshot — it will be automatically fitted into the device frame
- Add a background theme and promotional text
- Export as a high-resolution PNG ready for App Store Connect upload
Screenlift supports iPhone 16 Pro Max (6.7") and iPhone 15 Pro Max (6.7") frames, covering the most important App Store screenshot size categories. All exports are pixel-perfect at the required dimensions.
