Important Notes
Mac App Store screenshots are landscape by default at 2880 x 1800 pixels (matching the 16-inch MacBook Pro Retina resolution). Apple also accepts 1280 x 800 for non-Retina. Catalyst apps (iPad apps running on Mac) use the same iPad screenshots but may want dedicated Mac screenshots for a polished listing.
Tips for Mac App Store Screenshots
- 1Mac screenshots are landscape — show your full app window with real content, not empty states.
- 2Use the 2880 x 1800 Retina resolution for the sharpest screenshots on modern Macs.
- 3Show your menu bar integration, toolbar, and keyboard shortcuts if applicable.
- 4If your app is a Catalyst app, take dedicated Mac screenshots rather than reusing iPad ones.
- 5Consider showing your app alongside other macOS UI elements (menu bar, Dock) for context.
