Resize for Snapchat in three steps

  1. 1

    Upload your image

    Drop any photo or graphic onto the resizer — JPEG, PNG, or WebP all work. For geofilter submissions, start with a PNG that already has a transparent center zone.

  2. 2

    Pick a Snapchat preset

    Choose from three Snapchat-specific presets: Story / Snap (1080x1920) for the standard 9:16 full-screen vertical format, Geofilter (1080x2340) for custom location-based overlays that Snapchat requires in the taller ratio, or Discover Tile (360x600) for the preview thumbnail shown in the Stories and Discover feed.

  3. 3

    Download and submit

    Export as PNG to preserve transparency for geofilters, or JPEG for Stories and Discover tiles where file size matters. Your file is ready to upload directly to Snapchat's ad manager, geofilter submission portal, or your camera roll.

Who resizes images for Snapchat

Snapchat creators, event organizers, and brand publishers resize images to hit exact pixel dimensions before posting — because anything off-ratio gets letterboxed with distracting black bars. Whether you are submitting a custom geofilter or publishing a Discover tile, the right dimensions are non-negotiable.

Wedding geofilter designer

Couples and wedding planners create custom geofilters so guests can stamp the event name and date onto every Snap taken at the venue. They resize their design to exactly 1080x2340 PNG with a transparent center, keeping decorative elements in the top and bottom 20% so faces stay unobstructed before submitting to Snapchat's geofilter portal.

Brand Discover publisher

Social media managers at consumer brands produce Discover tiles at 360x600 to appear in the Stories feed alongside editorial channels. Getting that exact thumbnail ratio right is critical because Snapchat crops any oversized image rather than scaling it down proportionally.

Event promoter running a sponsored geofilter

Concert promoters and festival organizers submit branded geofilters for the event grounds so every attendee's Snap carries the event logo. Snapchat rejects JPG submissions for geofilters outright, so they export a transparent PNG at 1080x2340 after resizing.

Snapchat Story creator

Influencers who repurpose photos taken on DSLR or mirrorless cameras need to resize them to 1080x1920 before posting, since a landscape or square image will be letterboxed with black bars that tank engagement. Hitting the 9:16 ratio keeps the Story edge-to-edge on every viewer's phone.

Small business running Snap Ads

Local shops and e-commerce brands running Single Image or Video Ads on Snapchat need creative assets at exactly 1080x1920 to avoid automatic cropping in the ad delivery system. Resizing product photos to Story dimensions before uploading saves back-and-forth with Snapchat's asset review.

Corporate event planner

HR teams and conference organizers commission geofilters branded with the company logo for annual retreats or product launches, letting employees share Snaps that double as organic marketing. They use the 1080x2340 preset and export PNG with transparency so the filter layer sits cleanly over whatever the camera captures.
