App Store Screenshot Generator [iOS & Android] — Free, No Photoshop

Your app store screenshots do more selling than your description ever will. Most people decide whether to download in about seven seconds, and they rarely scroll past the first three images. So getting screenshots that look good — and are sized correctly — matters a lot. This guide covers the sizes you need for iOS and Android in 2026, and how to make them without Photoshop or a design degree.

What an App Store screenshot generator does

A screenshot generator takes your raw app screen (the one you captured from a simulator or device) and turns it into a polished store image — adding a device frame, a background, and a caption that explains the feature. It also exports at the exact pixel dimensions Apple and Google require, so your upload doesn't get rejected for being the wrong size.

The alternative — doing it by hand in Photoshop or Figma — works, but it's slow, and every time Apple adds a new device size you have to rebuild your templates. A generator handles the sizing for you.

iOS screenshot sizes for 2026

Apple organizes screenshots by display class, not individual phone model. You only need to provide the largest size in each class — Apple scales the rest down automatically.

• 6.9-inch (iPhone 16 Pro Max) — 1320 × 2868 px. The newest and now the primary size.
• 6.7-inch (iPhone 15 Pro Max) — 1290 × 2796 px. Still widely accepted.
• 6.5-inch — 1284 × 2778 px.
• 5.5-inch — 1242 × 2208 px. Worth checking your text stays legible at this older size.
• iPad 13-inch — 2064 × 2752 px. Required if your app runs on iPad.
• iPad Pro 12.9-inch — 2048 × 2732 px.

One important detail: these dimensions are exact. App Store Connect rejects screenshots that are even a few pixels off, so your export needs to land precisely on the target size.

Android (Google Play) screenshot sizes

Google is more flexible than Apple. Instead of fixed device sizes, it works with ranges:

• Minimum 320 px and maximum 3840 px on any side
• Aspect ratio between 16:9 and 9:16
• Common phone size: 1080 × 1920 px
• Tablet: typically 1600 × 2560 px or similar

You can upload up to 8 screenshots per type, and Google shows them as a scrollable row.

How many screenshots should you make?

The minimum is one, but that's not enough to sell anything. Most successful listings use six to eight. A common structure that works:

• First 1–2: your core value — what the app actually does, in one line
• Middle 3–5: key features and how they work
• Last 1–2: social proof, awards, or secondary features

Remember most people only see the first three, so lead with your strongest material.

Tips for screenshots that convert

• Add a caption. A plain UI screenshot is forgettable. A short benefit-driven line ("Track every expense in seconds") does the persuading.
• Use high contrast. Screenshots are viewed small, often in bright sunlight. Make text readable.
• Stay consistent. Same fonts, same background style across all images — it looks intentional and trustworthy.
• Localize if you can. Translated captions noticeably lift conversion in non-English markets.

Make them free with LaunchShots

That's exactly what LaunchShots is built for. It's a free, in-browser App Store screenshot generator for both iOS and Android — you drop in your screen, pick a background and caption, and export at the correct pixel size for any device. No signup, no watermark, and nothing is uploaded: everything runs in your browser, so your screens stay on your device.

It supports every size above, including the new 6.9-inch iPhone (1320×2868) and the 13-inch iPad, plus Google Play sizes — and it handles all 19 languages if you're localizing.

Shipping an app involves a lot of fiddly little assets. If you also need your app icon resized, there's a free App Icon Generator too. Good luck with your launch.
