2880 × 1800 px, as the App Store states it on August 29, 2026.

What this size is for

Mac is the simplest table Apple publishes: one class, four sizes, all 16:10 — 1280 × 800, 1440 × 900, 2560 × 1600 and 2880 × 1800.

There is no scaling chain and no fallback class. If you ship a Mac app you upload a Mac set, and this is the largest and sharpest option.

It is landscape, which changes the design problem entirely: a Mac screenshot usually shows a window in context rather than a phone-shaped device frame.

The mistake to avoid: Submitting a raw 16:9 display capture. Every accepted Mac size is 16:10 — a 2560 × 1440 grab is refused, and cropping it to 2560 × 1600 is impossible without adding canvas.

Will this file work on Google Play?

At 1.60 : 1 this canvas is inside Google Play's hard rule that no side may be more than twice the other, and inside its 320–3840 px bounds — so it uploads. Play still names 1080 × 1920 as the portrait size that makes a listing eligible for the placements where it recommends apps using screenshots, so treat this as a fallback rather than a plan.

Design at 2880 × 1800 without doing the maths

Open the editor with the canvas already set to 2880 × 1800, drop your app screens into a device frame, and export the whole set — watermark-free on the free plan.
