The store rules, verified

Store requirements, checked against the source

The store rules that shape screenshot optimization: how many slots you have, which sizes you must cover, and the file rules that apply no matter how good the design is.

The slots you are optimizing for

Apple accepts 1 to 10 screenshots per display class per localization, and screenshots appear in App Store search results. Google Play allows up to 8 per device type and requires a minimum of two screenshots total to publish. Each localization is its own set on both stores, so a localized listing is a full second set of screenshots, not a toggle.

File rules that apply to every variant

These hold no matter which message or layout you test.

  • Apple: exact pixel sizes per display class — 1290×2796 for iPhone 6.9-inch, 1284×2778 for iPhone 6.5-inch, 2064×2752 for iPad 13-inch (alternatives listed in Apple's specification).
  • Apple: no alpha channels or transparencies — Apple states this rule explicitly.
  • Google Play: JPEG or 24-bit PNG with no alpha, 320–3840px per side.
  • Google Play: the longest side may be no more than twice the shortest — 1080×2400 is invalid; 1080×2160 is exactly at the limit.

Building variants in Shipshot

Duplicate a design inside one project and change the message, screens, or visual treatment per variant. The same responsive layout adapts across all 17 export targets, so a variant set costs one edit, not seventeen. Exports are flattened files with no alpha channel and an embedded sRGB profile, ready for manual upload.

For localizations, select a language to translate missing editable captions with Qwen, review the result with per-locale editing, and check text expansion before export. Arabic renders with genuine right-to-left layout.

Everything you need for the next screenshot set

Responsive layouts

Adapt one design across all 17 named export targets in 7 stores, plus custom canvases from 200 to 7680 px per side.

Localization

Qwen translates missing editable captions across all 85 caption languages, with 8 curated core languages featured in the editor; review and edit every result before export. Translation and non-English preview need Pro or Scale; free projects stay in English.

Devices and backgrounds

Use real device frames, frameless screens, soft clay renders, and angled poses.

Preview and export

Export store-ready files for manual upload to App Store Connect and Google Play Console. Pro and Scale can also push a saved ZIP into those listing versions.

Editable caption workflow

Write and refine benefit-led captions for each supported preview language.

Plans that match your workflow

Basic includes 1 project, up to 5 screenshots per size, and watermarked exports for all 17 store targets. Pro includes 10 projects, 10 screenshots per size, and English + 5 additional locales (6 total). Scale includes unlimited projects, 25 screenshots per size, all 85 caption languages, and an extended licence. Every plan exports the same 17 store targets for manual upload.

Frequently asked questions

Screenshot workflow questions

How many screenshot variants can I upload to the App Store?

Up to 10 per display class per localization. Each localized listing accepts its own set of 10.

Which screenshots matter most for ASO?

The first ones. Apple shows screenshots in App Store search results, so the opening frames of the set carry the listing.

Do localized screenshots have to be separate files?

Yes. Both stores treat each localization as its own screenshot set. In Shipshot you translate or edit each language's captions in the same project and export organized folders per language.

Do the file rules change between variants?

Every variant must follow the same current store rules. Check Apple and Google's current requirements before export; Shipshot applies the supported size, aspect-ratio, and no-alpha rules described here.

Does Shipshot upload my variants to the stores?

ZIP download is on every plan. Pro and Scale can also push a saved ZIP into App Store Connect or Play Console listings.
