Clean up screenshot status bars before you share, publish, or present them. Set a consistent time, signal, Wi-Fi, and battery while keeping every pixel below the status bar untouched. Remove unwanted location indicators and return-to-app labels, compare Before and After, and export a new PNG at the original dimensions. Status Bar Studio imports a full-size screenshot from Photos or Files and processes it entirely on device. SUPPORTED IPHONE SCREENSHOTS The app supports full-size PNG and JPEG screenshots with these exact model families and pixel dimensions: - 1170 × 2532 — iPhone 12, 12 Pro, 13, 13 Pro, 14, and 17e - 1284 × 2778 — iPhone 12 Pro Max, 13 Pro Max, and 14 Plus - 1179 × 2556 — iPhone 14 Pro, 15, 15 Pro, and 16 - 1206 × 2622 — iPhone 16 Pro, 17, 17 Pro, and 18 Pro - 1260 × 2736 — iPhone Air - 1290 × 2796 — iPhone 14 Pro Max, 15 Plus, 15 Pro Max, and 16 Plus - 1320 × 2868 — iPhone 16 Pro Max, 17 Pro Max, and 18 Pro Max Compatible dimensions are recognized automatically. iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max share screenshot sizes with earlier models, so the app reads the status-bar layout to tell them apart and asks you to choose the model only when it can't be sure. iOS 27-style rendering is currently available for iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max; the other listed models use iOS 26-style status bars. Unmodified, full-size screenshots work best; Display Zoom, cropping, or resizing can produce unsupported dimensions. START FREE - Preview every style before export - Export White or Black status bars with the free 9:41, 100% battery preset - Keep exporting the free preset without a watermark or size reduction CONTROL THE DETAILS - Normalize the displayed signal and Wi-Fi - Set a custom time and choose 12-hour or 24-hour format with Pro - Adjust battery level, glyph tone, color, and style - Review complex backgrounds and keep the original status bar when needed WORK FASTER WITH PRO - Export with Seamless, Frosted, Gradient, and Color styles - Set any supported time, clock format, and battery level - Apply one preset to batches of up to 50 screenshots - Review flagged items individually - Save and resume single-image edits and batch workspaces on your device CHOOSE HOW TO GO PRO - Pro Monthly is an auto-renewable monthly subscription - Pro Annual is an auto-renewable annual subscription - Pro Lifetime is a one-time purchase with no recurring subscription charge All three options unlock the same Pro styles, custom controls, Batch Editing, and Workspaces. Monthly and Annual renew automatically unless canceled. Pro Lifetime permanently unlocks Pro for a one-time charge. Prices and any eligible offers are shown by the App Store before purchase. Manage or cancel subscriptions in your Apple Account, and use Restore Purchases in the app to recover an eligible purchase. EXPORT YOUR WAY Save the finished PNG to Photos or Files, or send it through the iOS share sheet. Your source screenshot is never overwritten. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Screenshots are processed on your device. Status Bar Studio has no account, image upload, ads, analytics, tracking, or generative AI. Subscription and Lifetime purchases are handled by Apple through the App Store. Status Bar Studio edits imported image files only. It does not change your iPhone's live system status bar or capture the screen in the background.
