APP-STORE STORYTELLING

Check Apple screenshot dimensions before exporting

Use Apple's current screenshot specification for the relevant device family. A generic portrait preset is only a starting point.

Put it into practice

  1. Identify the device family and orientation in App Store Connect.
  2. Match an accepted pixel size from Apple's reference.
  3. Verify the downloaded file's dimensions before uploading.

What this looks like

WORKED EXAMPLE

A designer checks the required iPhone family instead of assuming every tall image is accepted.

A detail to keep clear

Store requirements can change; the console and current official reference take precedence over an old preset.

Using MockupX

Store specifications are maintained by Apple and Google and can change. Check the relevant console's current requirements for the device family and asset type. MockupX creates images; it does not submit listings, validate every policy or guarantee approval.

Check the result

Keep the original screenshot, then review the exported file at the size where people will see it. Check the message, the visible interface and the final crop separately. For a handoff, record the destination and the approved file so another person can distinguish the final version from a draft.

References and further reading

Use the official references for format behavior and current destination requirements. The composition advice above is a practical design approach, not a promise of platform approval.
