App Store Screenshot Validator
Prepare screenshots for App Store Connect. Do not hard-code Apple size tables here; asc screenshots sizes is the source of truth.
Source Of Truth
asc screenshots sizes --output table
asc screenshots sizes --all --output table
Common anchors: IPHONE_65 and IPAD_PRO_3GEN_129. Use --all for other iPhone sizes, Apple TV, Mac, Vision Pro, iMessage, or Watch.
Local Audit Helper
After choosing target dimensions from ASC, inspect local screenshots with the bundled helper:
python3 "$PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/appstore-screenshot-validator/scripts/screenshot_audit.py" \
"./screenshots/iphone" --recursive --allow-size 1284x2778 --allow-rotated --fail-on-alpha
The helper reads PNG/JPEG headers only. It does not resize, rewrite, strip alpha, upload, or call ASC. Pass --json for machine-readable output.
Workflow
- Query current screenshot size requirements with
asc screenshots sizes --all. - Run
screenshot_audit.pyagainst candidate PNG/JPEG files; fail on alpha and hidden Unicode filename spaces before upload. - Preserve originals. Write sanitized, alpha-stripped, resized, or color-converted images to a separate directory.
- Use
sipsfor macOS image rewrites only after selecting an ASC target size;sips -ztakes height then width. - Run
asc screenshots validateon the final directory, thenasc screenshots upload --dry-run, then upload only after the dry-run is clean.
Guardrails
Preserve originals by writing to a separate directory. Do not stretch across incompatible aspect ratios unless the user accepts the visual tradeoff. Prefer asc screenshots validate over visual inspection before upload.
