Snapchat Story Ad Validator
Snapchat requires strict 120px top and 300px bottom safe zones to prevent UI overlap from logos and "swipe up" links.
Upload your 1080 × 1920 asset to verify your safe zone visibility.
Stop Bleeding Your Ad Budget on Manual Design
Knowing the specs is only 10% of the battle. If you are building full campaigns, stop manually designing and resizing banners. Professional media buyers use AI to generate 150 perfectly sized, platform-compliant variations in 30 seconds.
Snapchat Story Ad Sizes (The 2026 Specs)
While the overall canvas is a standard vertical smartphone screen, the actual area where you can safely put text is much smaller. Here are the exact dimensions you need for your design team:
- Full Canvas Dimensions: 1080 x 1920 pixels (9:16 aspect ratio)
- Top Danger Zone (120px): This top area is reserved for the user’s profile icon, the sound toggle, and the top UI gradient. Keep all logos and text out of this space.
- Bottom Danger Zone (300px): This is the most critical area. Snapchat reserves the bottom 300 pixels for your brand name, headline, the “Ad” tag, and the interactive Swipe Up/CTA arrow. Anything placed here will be unreadable.
- The Safe Zone: 1080 x 1500 pixels perfectly centered in the middle of the screen.
Pro Tip: Even within the Safe Zone, try to keep your most important visual hooks and text in the upper 70% of the screen. Users’ eyes naturally gravitate upward on mobile devices
