Practical walkthrough
Prepare a compliant 1320 × 2868 master set.
Follow three checks so your 6.9-inch iPhone upload cascades cleanly across App Store Connect.
Capture at Pro Max Retina resolution
Take clean simulator captures without old marketing frames baked in.
Compose on the iPhone 6.9" preset
Select the iPhone 6.9" (1320 × 2868) family in Studio so 3D frames and headlines render at native crispness.
Check Search thumbnail readability
Preview panels 1–3 in the App Store Preview Simulator to verify headlines read clearly at small size.
Search shows the first 3 portrait panels
When your screenshots are portrait, iOS App Store search results display panels 1, 2 and 3 side-by-side at thumbnail scale.
No alpha channel permitted
Even 100% visually opaque RGBA PNGs trigger upload errors. AppScreenDesign exports true 24-bit RGB PNGs automatically.
Raw simulator capture vs final store artwork
Your Xcode Simulator capture from an iPhone 16/17/18 Pro Max is 1320 × 2868 px, and your final framed marketing screenshot is also 1320 × 2868 px. AppScreenDesign places your raw capture cleanly inside the 3D or 2D device frame while exporting the outer canvas at exact 1320 × 2868 pixels.
Typography legibility rule of thumb
Keep primary headlines between 5 and 8 words at ≥ 76pt equivalent on a 1320px-wide canvas so users can read them without tapping to zoom in Search results.
