HEIC, animated WebP input, PNG sequences and frame sequence export require Pro.

App Store Connect refused your app preview: the dimensions aren't one of the accepted sizes, the frame rate is wrong, the clip is outside 15–30 seconds, or there's no audio track. A screen recording or an editor export rarely gets all of those right on its own. Drop the video here — the App Store is already chosen — press Convert, and upload the MP4 you get back.

LightBox looks at your clip's shape and orientation and picks the accepted preview size it fits best. The video is scaled to fit inside that size and padded with black where the shapes differ, so nothing is ever stretched. It's encoded as H.264 at the steady frame rate Apple asks for, cut to 30 seconds at most, and always given an audio track — a silent one if your recording has no sound.

A clip shorter than 15 seconds can't become a valid preview, so LightBox tells you instead of converting it. The App Store destination is part of Pro: unlock it with a one-time upgrade or a 24-hour pass. Nothing is ever watermarked.

Why convert with LightBox

Matched to an accepted resolution

Portrait or landscape, phone or tablet shape — your clip is matched to the nearest accepted preview resolution, so there's no table of device dimensions to look up.

Never stretched

Your clip is scaled to fit inside the preview frame and padded with black where the shapes differ. Interfaces, text and faces keep their proportions.

Ready for App Store Connect

H.264 video at the steady rate Apple asks for, with a soundtrack — a silent one if your recording had none — so there's nothing left to fix before you upload.

Free forever. Pro when you need more.

Frequently asked questions

App Store Connect accepts previews only at specific resolutions for each device, between 15 and 30 seconds long, at a fixed frame rate and with an audio track. A raw screen recording or an editor export often misses one of those. LightBox converts the clip to meet them all.

The accepted size that best fits your clip's shape and orientation: a portrait recording gets a portrait size, a landscape one a landscape size. Where the shapes don't match exactly, the clip is padded with black rather than stretched or cropped.

Apple doesn't accept previews under 15 seconds, so LightBox won't convert it. Record or edit a longer clip and drop it in again. Clips longer than 30 seconds are fine: trim to the 30 seconds you want to show.

No. App previews need an audio track, so LightBox adds a silent one when your clip has none. If it does have sound, the sound is kept.

The App Store destination is part of Pro. Unlock it with a one-time Pro upgrade, or with a 24-hour pass if you only have one release to prepare. The rest of the converter stays free, with no signup and no watermark.
