iPad viewport sizes in CSS pixels
An iPad is neither a big phone nor a small laptop. Its portrait widths sit either side of the breakpoints most sites use for “tablet”, and its windows can be resized. Here are the numbers for every iPad Apple sells in November 2026, and what to test.

The iPads Apple sells today
This is the line-up on Apple’s site on 10 November 2026. Sizes are full screen, in CSS pixels.
| Model | Portrait | Landscape | Screen pixels |
|---|---|---|---|
| iPad mini (A20 Pro), 8.5-inch | 756 × 1158 | 1158 × 756 | 1512 × 2316 |
| iPad (A16), 11-inch | 820 × 1180 | 1180 × 820 | 1640 × 2360 |
| iPad Air 11-inch (M4) | 820 × 1180 | 1180 × 820 | 1640 × 2360 |
| iPad Air 13-inch (M4) | 1024 × 1366 | 1366 × 1024 | 2048 × 2732 |
| iPad Pro 11-inch (M5) | 834 × 1210 | 1210 × 834 | 1668 × 2420 |
| iPad Pro 13-inch (M5) | 1032 × 1376 | 1376 × 1032 | 2064 × 2752 |
The screen pixels are from Apple’s technical specifications. Every iPad has a scale factor of 2, so the CSS size is half the pixel size and devicePixelRatio is 2. The 8.5-inch iPad mini is new this autumn and many device lists still show its predecessor’s 744 × 1133.
Older iPads still in use
| Viewport (CSS px) | Models |
|---|---|
| 744 × 1133 | iPad mini (6th generation), iPad mini (A17 Pro) |
| 768 × 1024 | 9.7-inch iPads, including iPad (5th and 6th generation) and iPad Air 2, and iPad mini (1st to 5th generation) |
| 810 × 1080 | iPad (7th, 8th and 9th generation) |
| 820 × 1180 | iPad (10th generation), iPad Air (4th and 5th generation), iPad Air 11-inch (M2, M3) |
| 834 × 1112 | iPad Air (3rd generation), iPad Pro 10.5-inch |
| 834 × 1194 | iPad Pro 11-inch (1st to 4th generation) |
| 1024 × 1366 | iPad Pro 12.9-inch (all generations), iPad Air 13-inch (M2, M3) |
The classic 768 × 1024 iPad that many “tablet” breakpoints were written for is now only found on old hardware. No iPad Apple sells today is 768 px wide.
The window is not always the screen
The tables give the full-screen size. Split View and Stage Manager have long let Safari share the screen, and on iPadOS 26 and later every app runs in a window: you drag a corner to resize one, or drag a second app to the edge of the screen to put two side by side and move the bar between them. Safari’s page reflows to the window, so on an iPad your page can be anything from phone-narrow up to the full width, and it changes while the page is open.
- Expect your phone layout to appear on iPads. It should work with a trackpad pointer as well as a finger.
- A resize fires an ordinary
resizeevent without reloading the page, so layouts that measure once at load go wrong. - Use the full-screen sizes for testing, not as the only widths an iPad can have.
What makes an iPad different
- It usually asks for the desktop site. Since iPadOS 13, Safari on the 11-inch and 13-inch iPads requests desktop websites by default and sends a Mac user agent, so server-side “is this a tablet?” checks don’t see an iPad. Apple leaves the iPad mini on mobile sites by default because of its size. Either way, rely on the layout and on feature queries, not the user agent.
- It is a touch screen that sometimes has a trackpad. Don’t infer the input from the width. Gate hover menus on
@media (hover: hover) and (pointer: fine)and make sure nothing can only be reached by hovering. - Portrait sits either side of your breakpoints. The iPad mini (744 or 756 px) is below a 768 px breakpoint, so it gets the phone layout on many sites. The iPad Air 13-inch is exactly 1024 px. The table in CSS breakpoints for iPhone and iPad shows where each one lands.
- Landscape gets your desktop layout. At 1158 to 1376 px wide most sites serve the full desktop design to a device used with fingers. Check that tap targets are at least 44 × 44 points and that menus open on tap.
How to test iPad sizes
- A real iPad. Rotate it and resize the Safari window with the page open.
- Xcode’s Simulator (free, needs a Mac). Every current iPad with real Safari.
- Desktop browser devtools. Enter the sizes from the table as custom sizes. Built-in “iPad” presets are often older models, so check their numbers.
- On an iPhone or iPad you have with you, a viewport app such as ViewPortal (below).
Checking iPad sizes in ViewPortal
ViewPortal has iPad presets for iPad mini (744 × 1133, the previous model), iPad 11-inch (820 × 1180, also the iPad Air 11-inch), iPad Pro 11-inch (834 × 1210) and iPad Pro 13-inch (1032 × 1376), each in portrait or landscape. Add custom sizes for the new iPad mini (756 × 1158) and the iPad Air 13-inch (1024 × 1366). It runs on iPhone as well as iPad, so you can check the iPad layout of a page from your phone, and at tablet sizes it sends a desktop Safari user agent, as Safari on the larger iPads does. That includes the iPad mini preset, so if your server sends different HTML by user agent, check the iPad mini in Safari. On an iPad, multi-view shows phone, tablet and desktop widths of the same page side by side.
The limits: the presets are full-screen sizes, so the height doesn’t allow for Safari’s tab bar, and ViewPortal uses the iOS web engine without being Safari. Use it for widths, breakpoints and orientation, and check the final result on a real iPad when you can. ViewPortal is free to download, with no accounts and no tracking. Multi-view, dev-server previews and the dev tools are in Pro, a one-time £4.99 unlock.
