Quick Reference
Tips for Apple TV Screenshots
Apple TV screenshots must be submitted in landscape orientation at either 3840×2160 (4K Ultra HD) or 1920×1080 (1080p). There is no portrait option for tvOS, reflecting how Apple TV is exclusively used on widescreen displays. Screenshots must not contain an alpha channel — flatten all layers before export. Since Apple TV apps are browsed on large screens, prioritize bold visuals, readable typography, and UI elements that communicate the app experience clearly. Aim for 3840×2160 to future-proof your listing and ensure crisp rendering on 4K televisions. At least one screenshot is required to publish any tvOS app.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A common mistake is submitting screenshots with an alpha channel, which Apple explicitly rejects for tvOS — always export as a flat RGB image. Another error is submitting at the wrong resolution, such as 1280×720, instead of the required 3840×2160 or 1920×1080. A third mistake is designing screenshots in portrait orientation or using mobile-style layouts that look awkward on a widescreen 16:9 canvas. Apple TV screenshots must always be landscape, and UI elements should be spaced and scaled appropriately for a large television display viewed from a distance.
Conversion Tip
Well-crafted Apple TV screenshots displayed in the tvOS App Store immediately signal production quality to browsing users. Bold visuals optimized for 3840×2160 widescreen displays convey professionalism and app value at a glance, increasing click-through rates and download conversions among users discovering apps directly on their televisions.
