Resize Image for Snapchat - Free Online Resizer

Snapchat is a mobile-first vertical format platform and the images that work on it need to be prepared with that in mind. Story content displays at 1080x1920 pixels, the same full screen 9:16 format used across most vertical social media. Profile photos on Snapchat display as circles at small sizes in the interface. Snapchat ad creatives for single image ads follow the same 1080x1920 format. Getting the dimensions right before posting means content fills the screen the way it was designed to rather than getting padded with background fill or cropped by the platform in the wrong place.

How to Resize Images for Snapchat

For Snapchat Story content and ad creatives, enter 1080 in the width field and 1920 in the height field. Turn the Maintain Aspect Ratio checkbox off before processing. Most images are not already in a 9:16 vertical ratio and leaving the checkbox on will not produce the full story format output.

For profile photos, enter 320 in both the width and height fields for a clean square that Snapchat can crop into its circular display format. Center the subject before uploading since Snapchat applies a circular mask and anything near the corners will not be visible in the profile display.

Upload multiple Snapchat assets at once and download everything as a ZIP when done.

Snapchat Image Size Reference

Story and ad content: 1080x1920 pixels at a 9:16 ratio. This fills the full mobile screen and is the standard format for all Snapchat story content. Profile photo: a square image at 320x320 or larger, displayed as a circle in the app. Snap Map Bitmoji and friend display icons use very small sizes that Snapchat handles automatically from the profile photo upload.

Output Format for Snapchat Content

JPEG handles photographic story content well and keeps file sizes manageable for fast mobile uploads. PNG is the better choice for graphic story templates, illustrated content and designed ad creatives with text overlays. Snapchat accepts both formats for story and ad uploads. For profile photos, JPEG works fine for standard portrait photography.
