What are the App Store screenshot sizes for 2026?

iPhone: 1320x2868 pixels portrait or 2868x1320 landscape (the 6.9-inch display class). iPad, required only if your app declares iPad support: 2064x2752 or 2048x2732 portrait, 2752x2064 or 2732x2048 landscape (the 13-inch class). Screenshots must be PNG or JPEG without an alpha channel.

How many screenshots does the App Store require per language?

Each localization accepts between 3 and 10 screenshots per device class. Every localization can carry its own set, so you can ship different captures and text for en-US, es-MX, and so on.

What order do App Store screenshots appear in?

When uploading in bulk, the alphabetical order of your filenames determines the order on the product page. Name files with numeric prefixes (01-hero.png, 02-feature.png) to control the sequence.

Is the 6.9-inch device type called APP_IPHONE_67 or IPHONE_69?

Both, in different tools. The App Store Connect API uses the display-family enum APP_IPHONE_67 for the 6.9-inch 1320x2868 canvas, while the asc CLI uses --device-type IPHONE_69. They refer to the same screenshot slot; mixing them up silently breaks automated uploads.

Why does App Store Connect reject PNG screenshots with an alpha channel?

App Store Connect requires opaque images and rejects any PNG whose format declares an alpha channel with the error IMAGE_ALPHA_NOT_ALLOWED, even if every pixel is opaque. Flatten the PNG to color type 2 (RGB without alpha) before uploading.

App Store Screenshot Sizes 2026

The short answer: iPhone screenshots must be 1320×2868 pixels (portrait) or 2868×1320 (landscape), the 6.9-inch display class. If your app runs on iPad, you also need 13-inch iPad screenshots at 2064×2752 or 2048×2732 (portrait). Each localization takes 3 to 10 screenshots, filenames upload in alphabetical order, and PNGs must not contain an alpha channel.

The complete size table

Device class	Portrait (px)	Landscape (px)	Required?
iPhone 6.9″ (iPhone 16 Pro Max class)	1320 × 2868	2868 × 1320	Yes, for every iPhone app.
iPad 13″	2064 × 2752	2752 × 2064	Yes, if the app declares iPad support.
iPad 13″ (alternate)	2048 × 2732	2732 × 2048	Accepted alternative pixel count for the same 13″ slot.

Sizes must match exactly. A 1290×2796 capture (the older 6.7-inch class) will not fill the 6.9-inch slot. Not sure what you have? Drop your files into the free size checker; it reads the dimensions locally and tells you which slot they match.

The naming trap: one canvas, three names

The 6.9-inch screenshot slot goes by a different identifier in every tool that touches it. Confusing them produces uploads that silently land in the wrong slot, or fail:

Where	Identifier	Meaning
Your design canvas	1320 × 2868	The actual pixels you export.
App Store Connect API	`APP_IPHONE_67`	The display-family enum. Yes, it says 67 for the 6.9″ canvas: the enum name lags the hardware.
`asc` CLI	`IPHONE_69`	What you pass to `--device-type` when uploading with App-Store-Connect-CLI.

All three refer to the same screenshot slot. If you automate uploads, hardcode this mapping once and never think about it again:

# Upload a localized folder tree with the asc CLI
asc screenshots upload --app APP_ID --version 1.0 \
  --path ./shots --device-type IPHONE_69
# ./shots/en-US/*.png, ./shots/es-MX/*.png -> fan-out per locale

The rules beyond pixel size

3 to 10 screenshots per localization

Every localization accepts between 3 and 10 screenshots per device class, and each localization can carry a completely different set. That means your es-MX listing can show Spanish UI and Spanish marketing copy while en-US shows English, same layout, different strings.

Alphabetical filename order = product page order

When you bulk-upload, App Store Connect sorts your files alphabetically and that becomes the order on your product page. Prefix filenames with numbers to control the sequence:

01-hero.png
02-editor.png
03-localization.png
04-export.png
05-social-proof.png

No alpha channel, ever

App Store Connect rejects PNGs that declare an alpha channel with IMAGE_ALPHA_NOT_ALLOWED, even when the image is visually opaque. Most design tools export RGBA by default, so this bites almost everyone once. The fix takes seconds with the free in-browser Alpha Channel Fixer, and the full explanation lives in the IMAGE_ALPHA_NOT_ALLOWED guide.

FAQ

Do I need landscape screenshots too?

Only if your app's primary orientation is landscape. You pick one orientation per device class; the accepted pixel sizes for landscape are the portrait sizes with width and height swapped (2868×1320 for iPhone 6.9″).

Can I still upload 6.5-inch or 6.7-inch screenshots?

The 6.9-inch class (1320×2868) is the size App Store Connect asks for on current submissions. Older classes exist for legacy listings, but new uploads should target 6.9″; smaller devices get scaled versions automatically.

PNG or JPEG?

Both are accepted. PNG gives you crisp UI text; just make sure it has no alpha channel. JPEG can't carry alpha at all, which is why converting to JPEG is a quick (lossy) way around IMAGE_ALPHA_NOT_ALLOWED.

Do different locales really need different screenshots?

They don't need to differ, but they can, and localized screenshots convert better. Each locale holds its own set of 3 to 10, so you can keep one layout and swap the language of the UI and the marketing copy.
