Apple iOS App Store Screenshot Specifications (2026)
Apple requires developers to provide screenshots for the latest iPhone display sizes. Apple's modern scaling engine automatically scales 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR assets across smaller iPhone sizes, but native resolutions must strictly adhere to the following requirements:

Critical App Store Requirement: Apple strictly rejects PNG images that contain an Alpha Channel (transparency). All screenshot uploads must be 24-bit RGB opaque files. App Shots Studio automatically exports 100% opaque 24-bit PNG files to prevent App Store Connect upload errors.
Apple App Store Technical Rules:
- Quantity: Between 1 and 10 screenshots allowed per localized language.
- File Formats: 24-bit PNG (without alpha channel) or high-quality JPEG (72 dpi or higher).
- Maximum File Size: 50 MB per individual screenshot image.
- Color Profile: sRGB or Display P3 color space.
🤖 Google Play Console Screenshot Specifications (2026)
Google Play gives developers flexibility with aspect ratios between 16:9 and 2:1, but modern Android devices overwhelmingly utilize 20:9 display resolutions. Google requires a minimum of 4 screenshots to be featured on modern store listings.

- File Formats: JPEG or 24-bit PNG (no alpha channels).

💡 2026 Recommendation: The 2-Resolution Strategy
To maximize coverage while minimizing designer workload, we recommend generating screenshots in two primary sizes:
1. iOS 6.7" Super Retina (1290 × 2796 px) — Fulfills all modern iPhone requirements on Apple App Store Connect.
2. Android Phone (1080 × 2400 px) — Fulfills modern 20:9 Google Play Phone requirements.
