1290×2796: a field guide to Apple's screenshot sizes

Every required resolution, what App Store Connect actually accepts, and how to never see a rejection email again.

App Store Connect is unforgiving about screenshot dimensions: one wrong pixel and the upload bounces. The rules are simple once written down — they're just written down in too many places. Here's the whole map.

The sizes that matter

  • iPhone 6.9″ — 1290×2796. The required size for modern iPhones; everything else can be derived from it.
  • iPhone 6.5″ — 1242×2688. Still accepted for older devices; Apple scales it where needed.
  • iPad 12.9″ — 2048×2732. Required the moment your app supports iPad.

Why uploads get rejected

Nearly every rejection is one of three things: a resized image that drifted a pixel, a stray alpha channel, or a portrait size uploaded into a landscape slot. Export at the exact target resolution — never scale afterward — and all three disappear.
