Upload app previews and screenshots

Use screenshots and app previews to visually communicate your app’s user experience. You can upload screenshots and app previews on the platform section of your app’s page in App Store Connect when the app has one of the following statuses:

  • Prepare for Submission

  • Ready for Review

  • Invalid Binary

  • Rejected

  • Metadata Rejected

  • Developer Rejected

Learn the specifications for creating screenshots and app previews on iPhone, iPad, Mac, TV, Apple Vision Pro, and Apple Watch.

If your app's user interface is the same across multiple device sizes and localizations, provide only the highest resolution screenshots required. They automatically scale down to smaller device sizes.

If you prefer not to use scaled versions, you can add specific screenshots and app previews for other device sizes and localizations using Media Manager. If a localized app preview is missing for your localized metadata, the app preview in the next best available language will be used on App Store product pages and displayed to users when they install your app.

Screenshot requirements:

You can upload a minimum of one screenshot and a maximum of ten.

App preview requirements:

Providing an app preview is optional. You can upload up to three app previews per supported device size and language for iOS, macOS, tvOS, and visionOS apps. To create and upload an app preview, you must have:

  • A Mac running macOS 10.10 or later, with Safari 8 or later.

  • A video editor, such as iMovie or Final Cut Pro X.

  • An iPhone with a 6.5-inch display and iOS 8 or later installed, an iPad with a 13-inch display and iOS 8 or later installed, an Apple TV, or an Apple Vision Pro.

Learn how to create videos for app previews.

When you upload your app previews, keep the following in mind:

  • App previews always precede screenshots on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV, even if you rearrange them when editing the app record.

  • You set the app preview poster frame, which is the image that displays to customers on App Store product pages and when users install your app.

  • After you upload your app previews, processing may take up to 24 hours.

  • App previews aren't available on the App Store for iMessage.

  • For iOS apps, you can upload app previews in Landscape or Portrait mode. When the customer plays the video, the app preview rotates to the original orientation. For macOS, tvOS, and visionOS apps, you can only provide app previews in landscape.
