Snapchat · Image sizes

Crop Snapchat Stories and profile photos carefully

Stories fill the phone under lenses and chrome. Profile photos become small circles. Use the matching guide before you export.

Sizes on Snapchat

Open a guide for exact pixels, safe zones, and an in-browser crop for that surface.

Full-screen snaps need a quiet mid-frame

Snapchat Stories are 9:16. Stickers, captions, and UI cover edges—keep faces in the middle band.

Do not stretch a landscape photo into a Story and hope. Start vertical.

Profile images still need a circle-safe square even if you also use Bitmoji elsewhere.

Quick picks

Match the task to the guide so you do not export the wrong ratio.

  • Vertical snap or Story still → Story guide.
  • Chat/list circle → Profile picture.
  • Repurposing IG Stories → re-check Snapchat chrome.
