# Create screenshots for the app stores

Source: https://www.goodbarber.com/help/shop/publish-your-ios-and-android-app-r61/create-screenshots-for-the-app-stores-a181/

When you're ready to send your app to both Google and Apple stores, you will have to upload screenshots in order to show how your app looks.

Here is how to quickly and manually generate your own screenshots of your app in order to finalize your submission to the stores.

Please note that if you want, you can subscribe to the [GoodBarber Takes Care service](https://www.goodbarber.com/help/shop/goodbarber-takes-care-gbtc-publication-service-r80/understand-the-goodbarber-takes-care-gbtc-service-a97/), we will take care of the screenshots generation with the app submission.

## 1. Prerequisite: activate the web app version of your app and download Firefox

The trick consists of using the advanced features of the Firefox browser and the web app version of your app.

Here’s 2 prerequisites before going any further:
- **Having Firefox on your computer**. If you don’t have it, download [Firefox.](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/)
- **Activate the web app of your app**. If it isn’t live, please activate it, at least temporarily, so that you can get the screenshots. Follow this online help to [activate the web app](https://www.goodbarber.com/help/shop/publish-and-update-your-pwa-r138/understand-progressive-web-app-pwa-publication-a147/).

## 2. Display the web app in Firefox responsive view

Display the web app in Firefox. Afterwards, activate the responsive view for your browser.

To do so, in Firefox, go to the menu **Tools > Web Developer > Responsive Design View**.

Enter the size of the screenshots you want to create:

**Google Play** - Screenshots must be PNG or JPEG, up to 8 MB each, 16:9 or 9:16 aspect ratio, with each side between 320 px and 3,840 px

**App Store** - iPhone 6.1" or 6.3" - supported sizes include 2556 × 1179, 1179 × 2556, 2622 × 1206 and 1206 × 2622 pixels
**App Store** - iPad 12.9" or 13" - supported sizes include 2732 × 2048, 2048 × 2732, 2752 × 2064 and 2064 × 2752 pixels

Make your screenshot by clicking on the "Camera" icon in the toolbar of the responsive view.
Browse the app in responsive mode to take more screenshots for each format. We recommend 5 screenshots per format to display on the stores.

You can now use these screenshots for the submission of the app to the stores.
​Of course, only make the screenshots you will need. Don’t waste your time making screenshots for the App Store if you only wish to publish your app on Google Play. If you only publish an iPhone app, there’s also no need to make iPad screenshots.
