App Preview Video Converter

How it works

One recording in, every App Preview out

App Store Connect is fussy about App Previews, and its error messages don't say much. Record your app once, and the converter makes a video for each device that meets every rule.

Why it gets accepted

Every detail Apple checks, handled

• The exact sizesEach video is the pixel size App Store Connect expects for its devices, in the orientation you recorded. Hover over a device for the devices and sizes it covers.
• 15 to 30 secondsThe app checks the length before you start, and tells you exactly what to change. Trim right in the window.
• A steady 30 fpsRecordings at 60 or 120 fps are brought down to 30, and gaps from dropped frames hold the last frame, so the video keeps its length.
• H.264, with true coloursEncoded as H.264 at 11 Mbps (12 Mbps for Apple Vision Pro's 4K) and tagged Rec. 709, so colours stay right, Display P3 recordings included.
• Always an audio trackEvery audio track is mixed into one 256 kbps stereo AAC track. No sound at all? You get the silent track Apple insists on.
• Bars that blend inWhen the shape doesn't match, the picture is centred with even bars that match its edges, or a colour you choose. No stray black lines.
• Right way upPortrait videos stored with a rotation come out upright and at the right size.
• Every size at onceYour video is read once and the sizes encode side by side. Cancel at any time, and half-finished files are tidied away.
• Shortcuts and SpotlightThe Convert to App Previews action takes a video, devices, a start and a length, and hands back the finished files to your workflow.
