Story

Image

Snapchat supports story image media in the following formats:
  • Supported formats: JPEG and PNG.
  • Max image size: 20 MB.
  • Recommended dimensions: 1080 x 1920 px.
WebP, HEIC, HEIF, and AVIF images are converted to JPEG before posting, and the conversion preserves the image’s color rendering and writes a small XMP packet carrying only the Iptc4xmpExt:DigitalSourceType AI disclosure, when the image declares one. No other metadata is carried over: not EXIF, and nothing else from the original XMP, so a location, a creator name or a copyright line can’t be published by accident. The C2PA signature does not survive a re-encode. See Image Metadata and Content Credentials.
