Prepare a photo for a Snapchat Public Profile
Snapchat lets you add a photo to your Public Profile. This tool prepares a still JPG using a centered 320×320 square preset; it does not create or change your Bitmoji. The dimensions and 500 KB limit are settings of this tool, not universal Snapchat requirements.
A selfie taken in good light usually crops better than a group photo, because the crop keeps only the center of the frame.
Choose a clear photo that helps visitors recognize your Public Profile.
Keep the Public Profile photo under 500 KB
Phone photos are often several megabytes, and a smaller file is quicker to upload on a mobile connection. The tool compresses the JPG to stay under 500 KB and changes the dimensions only when compression is not enough. Sizes are decimal, so 1 KB equals 1,000 bytes.
Use a sharp original. Compression keeps the general look of the photo, but it cannot restore detail that was blurred when you took it.
Phone cameras save large files, so a short wait is normal before the preview appears. If the image still looks soft, start from a sharper photo rather than a screenshot. You can prepare a new square from the same original at any time.
Choose a clear Public Profile photo
Choose one main subject, keep it centered and avoid text near the edges, where the crop may remove it. Existing backgrounds stay in the output, and transparent areas become white.
Check the square preview before downloading. After adding the photo in Snapchat, check how it appears on your Public Profile.
