App screenshots help you to convey your app features and capabilities. But you have to follow some platform-specific guidelines while creating screenshots for your Swipecart app.
This article gives you details on the screenshot image requirements and guidelines for:
1. Android app screenshots
2. iOS app screenshots
Read through the article to get a thorough understanding when creating screenshots for app listing on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Guidelines for iOS app screenshots on Swipecart
App screenshot submission is mandatory when listing your app on Apple App Store. You have to follow guidelines when creating screenshot images. The requirements are straightforward. Let’s explain them to you in detail here.
- A minimum of one screenshot is required. The maximum number of screenshots allowed is ten.
- The screenshots must be in PNG, JPEG, or video format.
- The resolution must be 72 DPI without transparency.
- The video will always appear in the first frame and autoplay.
- The screenshots must conform to exact pixel size specifications for devices the app supports including, iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple TVs, and Apple Watches.
- The mockup inside the screenshots must demonstrate the actual in-app experience.
Device Size
Screenshot Size
5.5-inch display
Can be used for all devices from iPhone 5 to iPhone 7.
W 1242 x H 2208
6.5-inch display
Can be used for all devices from iPhone 7 to iPhone 14.
W 1242 x H 2688
iPad 12.9 inch
W 2048 x H 2732
💡NOTE
- The app mockup inside the screenshots must be the same as the device size for which it is intended. Else, your app submission gets rejected. For instance, when you design a screenshot for a 5.5” display, you must use an iOS device mockup of iPhone 5, iPhone 6, or iPhone 7. You cannot use a mockup image of iPhone 9 here. Similarly, when you are designing a screenshot for iPad 12.9”, don’t use a mockup of iPhone device inside the screenshot.
- Another point to note here is that you must insert device mockup images inside the screenshots as much as possible. For instance, if you are designing 6 screenshots, insert iPhone mockups in at least 4 screenshots. You can design general images for the remaining two.
Guidelines for Android app screenshots on Swipecart
Similar to iOS app screenshot guidelines, Google Play Store has some requirements to be met when you submit the app screenshots for listing your Android app. At Swipecart, we adhere to following these guidelines when preparing and submitting your Android app screenshots. If you are designing screenshots for your Android app on Swipecart, please follow these instructions carefully.
- You must provide a minimum of 4 screenshots and have a maximum of 8 screenshots for Android apps with a minimum 1080px resolution.
- Dimension- 1080 x 1920px
- The screenshots must be JPEG or 24-bit PNG (no alpha).
- The minimum dimension is 320 px and the maximum is 3840 px with an 8MB maximum file size.
- The maximum dimension of your screenshot can’t be more than twice as long as the minimum dimension.
- The content or taglines inside the screenshots must not take up more than 20% of the image.
- The mockup inside the screenshots must demonstrate the actual in-app experience.
💡NOTE
The app mockup inside the screenshots must be the same as the device size for which it is intended. For instance, when you are designing a screenshot for an Android app, the mockup device inside the screenshot must be of an Android mobile app and not of any tablet or iOS app.
