What are the App Store preview video dimensions?
The current App Store preview video dimensions are 886×1920 portrait or 1920×886 landscape for modern iPhone slots, and 1200×1600 portrait or 1600×1200 landscape for current iPad slots. Legacy slots can use other accepted sizes, so match the upload to the device class in App Store Connect.
What resolution should an App Store preview video be?
For modern iPhone, use 886×1920 or 1920×886. For current iPad 13" and 11" previews, use 1200×1600 or 1600×1200. App Store Connect validates the video resolution against the selected device slot before the preview can be submitted.
What are the app preview video sizes for iPhone and iPad?
Use 886×1920 portrait or 1920×886 landscape for current iPhone app preview video sizes. Use 1200×1600 portrait or 1600×1200 landscape for current iPad app preview video sizes. Older iPhone slots may require 1080×1920, 1920×1080, 750×1334, or 1334×750.
Will App Store Connect reject an app preview video for wrong resolution?
Yes. App Store Connect can reject an app preview video before review if the file has the wrong resolution for the selected device slot. Re-export at 886×1920, 1920×886, 1200×1600, 1600×1200, or the exact legacy slot size you are uploading to.
Why was my App Store preview video rejected?
The most common technical rejection causes are wrong dimensions, unsupported format, duration outside 15-30 seconds, file size over 500 MB, frame rate over 30 fps, or codec/audio settings that fail Apple's validation. Fix the resolution first, then check duration, file size, format, and frame rate.
How long can an App Store app preview video be?
An App Store app preview video must be 15-30 seconds long. App Store Connect rejects previews that are shorter than 15 seconds or longer than 30 seconds, even when the dimensions and file format are correct.
What format does the App Store accept for app preview videos?
Apple accepts H.264 app preview videos with .mov, .m4v, or .mp4 extensions, and ProRes 422 HQ app preview videos as .mov files. Keep each preview at 500 MB max and 30 fps max.
What is the maximum file size for an App Store preview video?
The maximum App Store preview video file size is 500 MB. If the file is larger, re-export with efficient H.264 settings while keeping the accepted resolution, 15-30 second duration, accepted format, and 30 fps maximum.
Are app preview video dimensions the same as screenshot dimensions?
No. App preview video dimensions are smaller than App Store screenshot dimensions. For example, a 6.9" iPhone screenshot can be 1320×2868, but the app preview video for that same display class is 886×1920 portrait or 1920×886 landscape.
Can I use the same app preview video for every device size?
Not for every device size. One accepted resolution can cover nearby modern iPhone display classes, but legacy iPhone and iPad slots have different accepted dimensions. Use the app preview video size checker to confirm the target slot before uploading.
Do I need an app preview video to launch on the App Store?
No. App preview videos are optional, while screenshots are required. A preview is useful when motion, gameplay, onboarding, or a complex workflow is easier to understand in video.
