About 1242x2688 pixels

A 1242x2688 image is portrait, with an aspect ratio of about 0.46 to 1, and holds 3.34 megapixels. At 300 DPI it would print at about 4.1 x 9.0 inches (10.5 x 22.8 cm). As a JPEG it usually lands between 367KB and 734KB, depending on the picture and the quality you choose.

Where 1242x2688 is used

One of the sizes accepted for iPhone screenshots in the App Store, for 6.5 inch displays.

  • Export at exactly the size asked for. Stores often reject images that are a few pixels off.
  • Marketplaces and app stores publish their own image rules, so check the current ones before you upload.
  • Use a clean background and keep the product or icon centred with some margin.

Crop to fill or fit inside?

Crop to fill always gives exactly 1242x2688 by trimming the edges that do not match the shape. Fit inside keeps the whole picture and scales it so neither side exceeds 1242x2688, which can leave one side shorter. For a typical 4:3 phone photo, crop to fill removes about 65% of the picture. A 3:2 camera photo loses about 69%, a 16:9 screenshot about 74%, and a square image about 54%.

Quality and format

Check the result before you upload

Open the finished file and check three things: the picture measures 1242x2688, the subject is not cut off, and the file is small enough for where you upload it. If a platform sets a size limit, run the result through the online compression tool or choose a limit such as 200KB.

A tip for this size

App Store sizes change with new phones, so check the current list. Need another size? Try 1284x2778, 1080x1920, 1500x2100, the general image resizer, or browse every size preset.
