Put a clean, App Store-ready status bar on any screenshot: 9:41 on the clock, full signal, Wi-Fi on, battery full. Import a shot, tap export, done. Most editors make you rebuild the bar by hand. Status Bar knows the geometry. It reads your image's aspect ratio, guesses the device it came from, and draws the matching bar - Dynamic Island, notch, or classic home-button layout - scaled to the exact height Apple uses on that model. 18 device profiles from iPhone SE to iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPad Pro 13". The bar lands pixel-correct on the first try. WHAT YOU GET - A screenshot that looks like it came off a fresh, perfectly charged device - The right bar shape for the right phone, chosen for you the moment you import - Full control of the details: clock text, 0-4 signal bars, Wi-Fi on or off, battery level, charging bolt, battery percentage - Light or dark glyphs so the bar reads on any background - A bar that disappears into your design: leave it transparent, fill it white or black, or eyedrop a color straight out of your own image - Exports at the source image's full resolution, saved to Photos or sent to the share sheet PERFECT FOR - Indie developers prepping an App Store Connect upload - Designers building portfolio and case-study mockups - Marketers making social posts and landing-page hero shots - Anyone tired of a 47% battery and one bar of signal in their promo images WHY NOT JUST CROP THE BAR OFF? Because a cropped shot looks cropped. Apple's own listings, and every polished app page you scroll past, show a full screen with a clean bar at the top. Cropping changes your aspect ratio and can break App Store screenshot sizing. Replacing the bar keeps the frame intact and makes the shot look official. Seven bundled photo canvases are included if you want to try a bar before importing your own, plus a Devices reference showing each model's bar layout and height, and an offline Guide with tips for cleaner shots. PRIVACY Everything runs on your device. Images never leave your phone, there is no account, no upload, and no tracking. The app works fully offline. FULL ACCESS Free lets you edit everything and export one image with a small corner badge. Full Access removes the badge, unlocks bulk export of an entire batch in one tap, and turns on custom bar colors plus the eyedropper. Choose weekly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew until cancelled; lifetime is a single payment. Import your next screenshot, set the clock to 9:41, and export it before your coffee gets cold.

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 Pro Max share screenshot sizes with earlier models; the app reads the status-bar layout to tell them apart and asks only when unsure. Earlier models support iOS 26 and iOS 27 styles: Auto matches each screenshot (iOS 27 when unsure), or choose one yourself. iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max use iOS 27. 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.
