Header and search images

The wide image that leads a product page on iOS 27, and the creative that can stand in for screenshots in search.

Since iOS 27 a product page can lead with a wide header image, and search results can show one creative image instead of the first screenshots. Three devices make them, from the iPhone captures, with the Feature Graphic template:

  • header-3840x1646: the product page header (21:9);
  • search-3840x2560: the search results image (3:2);
  • universal-5244x2950: one 16:9 image for both. App Store Connect crops it to 21:9 for the header and 3:2 for search, so the layout keeps the text and device where both crops show them. Guides draws the two crops.

A page shows one of each.

Making one

  1. Add the device in Settings.
  2. Add a screen for it and, in the Screen tab, name only that device under Devices. It is listed apart, under Header, Search and Events, and takes no screenshot position.
  3. Give it a short headline and caption: the picture is wide and read at a glance.

Generate writes them to store/generated/creative/ (and a custom page's to its own folder in store/generated/sets/). Unlike screenshots, they do not go through fastlane: they upload to the app's Asset Library from Pages, and Apple reviews them on their own. See the Asset Library.
