1. App Icon

Square
1:1 — PNG — — High confidence — confirmed in the official documentation

Notes & best practice

The app icon shown in all Apple Ads placements (Today tab, Search tab, Search results, and Product pages) is pulled directly from the App Store.

It is designed at 1024x1024 pixels, fully opaque (no alpha or transparency), in sRGB or P3 color space, at 72 dpi; Apple now recommends a layered icon built in Icon Composer, though a flattened PNG is still accepted.

Apple automatically applies the rounded squircle mask, so do not pre-round the corners.

There is no separate ad upload for this icon.

Notes & best practice

iPhone screenshot class for iPhone Air, iPhone 18 Pro Max, 17 Pro Max, 16 Pro Max, 16 Plus, 15 Pro Max, 15 Plus, and 14 Pro Max.

Apple accepts three 6.9-inch resolutions in portrait (transpose for landscape): 1320x2868, 1290x2796, and 1260x2736.

Upload 1 to 10 screenshots in RGB format with no alpha channel.

The first 1 to 3 screenshots appear in Search results ads.

Apple's class list still treats a 6.9-inch or 6.5-inch set as required, but since October 2026 the page also opens with a rule asking for at least one 6.3-inch (Dynamic Island, medium display) screenshot.

Keep key content and text inside the safe zone — the platform UI overlaps the top and bottom of full-screen 9:16 creatives.
