Snapchat Ad Size: 1080 × 1920

The full-screen 9:16 frame, cropped so the caption and the swipe-up arrow do not land on your message.

100% private. Your image is resized on your own device using your browser. It is never uploaded to a server, and there is no account to create.

Works with images up to roughly 50 MP (about 8000 × 6000 px) depending on your device's memory. WebP export is unavailable in a few older Safari versions — the option is disabled automatically when that is the case.

How it works

Three steps, no account, no watermark.

Add your image

Drag a file onto the box, click to browse, or paste straight from your clipboard with Ctrl + V. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

Frame it

The crop box is already locked to 1080 × 1920. Drag the image to move it and scroll or pinch to zoom until it looks right.

Download

Pick PNG, JPG or WebP. The file is compressed automatically to stay under Snapchat's limit — or grab every Snapchat size at once as a ZIP.

About the snapchat ad size

A Snapchat single image ad is a full-screen vertical frame at a 9:16 ratio. Snapchat's own ad specification lists the resolution as 720 × 1280, which is the floor; 1080 × 1920 is the same shape at a resolution that holds up on modern phone screens, and it is what most advertisers actually upload. Both are on this page so you can pick the one your buyer or agency asks for.

What separates a Snapchat ad from any other vertical creative is how little of the frame is really yours. The bottom of the screen carries the call-to-action and the swipe-up affordance; the top carries the account name and the skip control. That leaves the middle of the frame doing all the work, and it has about two seconds to do it before a thumb moves. One image, one line, one idea.

Every Snapchat image size

The complete list — click any row to load that size into the tool, or use the ZIP button to export all of them at once. Official means the platform publishes that figure itself; Recommended means it is the widely used standard where the platform publishes none.

Tips for Snapchat

What actually makes the difference once the size is right.

Keep the bottom 20% clear

The call-to-action and the swipe-up arrow sit there. Anything you place in that band is either covered or competing with the thing you want people to tap.

You have about two seconds

Snapchat ads are skippable almost immediately. Lead with the offer or the product, not with a build-up.

Design for sound off and thumbs moving

Assume nobody reads more than four or five words. Put those words in the middle of the frame at a size you could read across a room.

Match the native look

Creative that feels like a Snap rather than a billboard consistently holds attention longer in this placement.

Frequently asked questions

What size is a Snapchat ad?

9:16 vertical. Snapchat's specification states 720 × 1280 as the resolution; 1080 × 1920 is the same ratio at higher quality and is the size most advertisers use. Both are available here.

What file formats does Snapchat accept?

JPG and PNG for image ads, plus MP4 and MOV for video. This tool exports JPG, PNG and WebP.

Where should I avoid putting text?

The bottom fifth of the frame, where the call-to-action and swipe-up sit, and the very top, where the account name appears.

What size is a Snapchat geofilter?

1080 × 1920 as a transparent PNG under 300 KB, with the middle of the screen left clear. It is in the table on this page.

Can I use the same creative on Instagram Stories?

Yes. Both are 1080 × 1920 at 9:16, though the safe areas differ slightly, so check the edges before reusing.

Does this tool upload my creative anywhere?

No. Everything is processed in your browser, which matters when the creative is not public yet.
