App Store and Google Play Screenshot Sizes 2026 (With Design Tips)

11 Oct 20262 min

Store screenshots are the most important marketing images your app has: they decide whether someone installs. Here are the sizes for 2026 and what makes them work.

Apple App Store

  • iPhone 6.9-inch (required): 1320 × 2868 portrait, or 2868 × 1320 landscape.
  • iPhone 6.5-inch (optional): 1284 × 2778 or 1242 × 2688.
  • iPad 13-inch (required for iPad apps): 2064 × 2752 portrait.

App Store Connect can scale the largest size down for smaller devices, so in practice one iPhone set and, if needed, one iPad set covers everything. Up to 10 screenshots per device size, PNG or JPG, no transparency.

Google Play

  • Phone: any size from 320 to 3840 pixels per side, long side no more than twice the short side. 1080 × 1920 is standard.
  • Tablet: 1920 × 1200 or larger for 7 and 10 inch tablets.
  • Between 2 and 8 screenshots per device type; at least 4 recommended to be featured.

Resizing to the exact size

Store uploads reject anything off by a pixel. The free Image Resizer has the iPhone 6.9-inch and Android phone sizes as presets: drop your design, choose the preset, download.

Designing screenshots that convert

  1. The first three tell the story. Most people do not swipe further.
  2. One idea per screenshot, with a short headline of four to six words.
  3. Show the product, not a stock photo.
  4. Benefits, not features: "Find any screenshot in seconds", not "OCR search".
  5. Large, readable type. Screenshots are shown small in search results.
  6. Consistent style across the set, so they read as one sequence.

Where to find examples

Study the store pages of top apps in your category and save the screenshot sets that make you want to install. A swipe file of store screenshots, searchable by the words in them, is the fastest way to start your own set. See mobile app design inspiration.

Common questions

Which iPhone screenshot sizes do I need for the App Store?
The 6.9-inch size, 1320 by 2868 portrait, is required for iPhone apps. App Store Connect scales it down for smaller devices, so one set is usually enough.
What size are Google Play screenshots?
Between 320 and 3840 pixels on each side, with the long side no more than twice the short side. 1080 by 1920 portrait is the common choice.
How many screenshots should I upload?
Upload the maximum, but design the first three to tell the whole story. Most people never swipe past them.
