How to Resize App Store Screenshots
Resizing is more than changing pixel dimensions. A new aspect ratio can alter line breaks, safe margins, device scale, and background crops. Review each layer after changing the canvas.
Step-by-step workflow
Duplicate the original project
Keep an untouched version of the approved layout so you can compare or return to it.
Choose the destination size
Select the target iPhone or iPad format before adjusting individual layers.
Review background cropping
Reposition image backgrounds and check gradients or panoramic elements at the new boundaries.
Refit text and devices
Correct headline wrapping, spacing, device scale, and alignment on every slide.
Validate exported dimensions
Confirm the final pixel size and inspect the actual files before uploading to App Store Connect.
