Snapchat displays profile photos at relatively small sizes throughout the app. 320×320 pixels provides sufficient detail while keeping file sizes small for fast loading. The circular crop means your image needs to work as a circle.

Snapchat always shows profile photos as circles. Center your face or any important content in the middle of the square image. Test your photo in a circular frame before uploading to ensure nothing gets cut off.
