App Store 스크린샷을 위한 카피라이팅 공식과 예시 (2026)

App Store screenshot text should make the product easier to understand, not compensate for screenshots that do not show the product. The best captions are short, specific, and directly tied to what the user can see in the image.

This guide was fact-checked on June 17, 2026 against Apple's product page guidance and App Review Guidelines. Apple says screenshots should visually communicate the app's user experience, should show the app in use, and may include text and image overlays. Apple also says metadata must accurately reflect the app's core experience.

The Rule: Caption the Proof

Start with the screen you are showing, then write the caption. Do not write a marketing claim first and force a screenshot to carry it later. If the screenshot shows a calendar, the text can promise planning, scheduling, reminders, or visibility. If the screenshot only shows a settings page, the caption should not promise a life-changing workflow.

Caption Length

There is no single Apple-published character limit for text overlays in screenshots. Treat that as a design constraint rather than a loophole. In practice, most screenshot captions should be one short sentence or a compact phrase. If the caption needs a line break, make the break intentional. If it needs three lines, the message is probably doing too much.

Words to Be Careful With

Be cautious with claims such as "best," "number one," "guaranteed," "free," "secure," or "private." Some can be used honestly, but they need to be true, current, and supported by the app experience. Apple's metadata rules focus on accuracy, appropriate audience content, rights to materials, and avoiding irrelevant or misleading information.

Before and After Examples

Policy-Safe Copy Checklist

• The caption describes a real feature, workflow, or outcome in the current app.
• The image shows the app in use, not only a splash screen, logo, or title card.
• Any subscription, paid feature, or locked content is not presented as free if it is not free.
• The text avoids unsupported ranking, award, health, financial, or performance claims.
• Names, photos, account details, and data shown in the screenshot are fictional or cleared for use.
• The caption still works when localized and when viewed at search-result size.
