Any one of these sizes is accepted for the Mac slot. Pick the size your capture device or design canvas produces natively; you don’t need to upload every size.
Upload rules
- Count: 1 to 10 per device size and localization.
- Formats: JPEG, JPG, PNG, with no transparency (alpha channel).
- Scaling: If your UI is the same across sizes, upload only the largest required size and App Store Connect scales it down.
- Orientation: landscape only.
App previews
Export previews at 1920 × 1080, 15 to 30 seconds, up to 30 fps. That's Apple's accepted resolution, not the screen size above.
