Snapchat photo sizes worth using
Snapchat is a full-screen, 9:16 app. Export to that frame (or the small profile and banner sizes) before you upload and the app has less reason to clip a face or cover your type.
| Format | Size in pixels | Aspect ratio |
|---|---|---|
| Snap & Story | 1080 × 1920 | 9:16 |
| Profile picture | 320 × 320 | 1:1 |
| Banner | 375 × 278 | 1.35:1 |
What Snapchat does to a photo you have not resized
A Snap fills the phone. A landscape photo in a 9:16 slot keeps a thin centre strip. Profile photos are a 320 × 320 circle. Banners display at 375 × 278, even if you upload a taller file (Snapchat will crop it).
Cropping here first means you choose what stays in the frame, and you send Snapchat a file that already matches the slot.
A quick way to pick a format
Use 1080 × 1920 (9:16) for a Snap or Story. Leave the top 150 pixels and the bottom 330 pixels clear of names and logos, because Snapchat draws its own buttons there. Profile photos are 320 × 320 (2 MB max).
Profile banners display at 375 × 278. You can upload up to 375 × 569, but the extra height gets cropped, so it is cleaner to export the 375 × 278 frame yourself.
How to keep the download looking sharp
Work from the largest original you have. A 1080-pixel width is the sweet spot for a Snap. JPG is the better default for photographs. PNG is the better default for type, logos, and screenshots.
Full-screen images stay under 5 MB. If your crop is smaller than the target, we flag that you are about to upscale.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I resize an image for Snapchat without an app?
Yes. Add a photo here, pick a size, set the crop, and download. The export matches the pixel size Snapchat shows, so you can send it from your phone next.
What size should a Snap or Story be?
1080 × 1920 (9:16) fills a phone screen. Keep important content out of the top 150 pixels and the bottom 330 pixels so Snapchat’s interface does not cover it.
What size should a Snapchat profile picture be?
Export a 320 × 320 square. That is both the recommended and the minimum size. Keep the file under 2 MB, and centre the face because it shows as a circle.
What size is a Snapchat banner?
Banners display at 375 × 278. You can upload a taller 375 × 569 file, but Snapchat crops it to 375 × 278, so export that frame here if you want to choose the crop.
Will this tool make my photo look worse?
A downsize from a clean original should look fine. What usually looks worse is sending a wide landscape and letting Snapchat crop it into 9:16. If your crop is smaller than the target, we flag that you are about to upscale.
When should I export PNG instead of JPG?
JPG for photos (smaller, faster to upload). PNG when the image has type, flat colour, or a hard edge that JPG will smear.
Do I have to create an account?
No. There is no sign-up, no watermark, and no cap on downloads.
Does the photo get sent to a server?
No. Cropping and export happen in this browser tab. Close the page and the file is gone from here.
