Required Resolutions

Apple requires screenshots for different device sizes:

iPhone

  • 6.9" Display (Required): 1290 × 2796 pixels
  • 6.5" Display: Auto-scaled from 6.9"

MagicScreenshots Output

All our generated screenshots are:

  • Resolution: 1290 × 2796 pixels (6.9" display)
  • Format: PNG
  • Color Space: sRGB

This resolution covers the required 6.9" display size in App Store Connect. All smaller sizes auto-scale from it.

Screenshot Guidelines

Apple also requires that screenshots:

  • Accurately represent the app experience
  • Don't include content that could be confused with device functionality
  • Don't contain pricing information or "free" claims
  • Are appropriate for all audiences unless age-gated

Number of Screenshots

  • Maximum: 10 screenshots per localization
  • Recommended: At least 4-6 screenshots showing key features
  • First 3: Most important - these appear in search results

Localization

You can upload different screenshots for each locale. MagicScreenshots translation feature makes this easy by generating localized versions automatically.
