Your screenshot release checklist

Review device coverage, current app content, screenshot dimensions, image formats and the final exported files before updating your store listing.

Use this checklist on the final exported files for each release and locale. A design that looks correct inside the editor can still be exported at the wrong size or with an unwanted alpha channel.

App and story

  • Every shown feature exists in the version you are releasing.
  • Example content contains no private account data, credentials or real customer information.
  • Headlines describe visible benefits without unsupported rankings or promises.
  • The first image is understandable at a small listing size, and later images add useful information.
  • You have permission to use the screenshots, artwork and fonts.

Device, language and layout

  • Select the required device classes and verify the app really supports them.
  • Use current Apple dimensions or Google Play requirements.
  • Check each locale’s app UI and captions together; review long text, line breaks and right-to-left reading order.
  • Keep device frames proportional. Make sure critical UI and captions remain visible.
  • Confirm the screenshot order and set count in the actual store console.

Final export

  • Inspect every delivered file, not only the first one in the set.
  • Measure actual pixel dimensions and decode the real format.
  • Remove PNG alpha channels where required; recheck the exported file.
  • Open the ZIP and check its contents before uploading.
  • Review the upload preview and any console warnings, then retain the editable source for your next release.

A file check cannot confirm licensing, feature accuracy, store approval or conversion impact. Those remain separate review steps.
