Tips & Best Practices

Public Accounts Only

Our tool can only fetch media from public Snapchat accounts, Spotlights, and public Stories. Private stories or snaps sent directly in chat cannot be accessed.

Review Media Counts

When downloading from a profile, the downloader shows you a summary of the total videos and images available, allowing you to review the gallery size before saving.

Automatic Downloads

When you click download on a video or image, the file is routed through a proxy to force an automatic download to your device, avoiding the need to manually save from a new tab.

Snapchat Story & Video Downloader

What the Snapchat downloader supports

This tool downloads publicly available Snapchat media. It supports stories, Spotlight clips, Highlights, and public profile pages. When you paste a supported link, the downloader extracts the available images and videos from the public page and displays them. For profile pages, you see a gallery with individual download options for each item. For direct media links, you see a single preview with a download option.

Stories, Spotlight, Highlights, and public profiles

The downloader works with several types of public Snapchat content. Spotlight links point to short-form public videos. Story links can return individual snaps. Highlight links can return a curated collection. Public profile links — such as story.snapchat.com/u/username or snapchat.com/add/username — can return a gallery of the media items the service can extract from the page. Each content type may return one item or multiple items depending on what is publicly available.

How to copy a Snapchat link

On the Snapchat mobile app, open the public story, Spotlight clip, or profile. Tap the Share icon and choose Copy link. On the web at snapchat.com, copy the full URL from your browser address bar. The link should be a complete https:// URL from snapchat.com, story.snapchat.com, web.snapchat.com, or snap.chat. Short links like snap.chat links are automatically resolved.

Supported Snapchat URL formats

The downloader accepts links from snapchat.com, www.snapchat.com, story.snapchat.com, web.snapchat.com, and snap.chat. Snap.chat short links and URLs containing /t/ are automatically followed to their destination. Spotlight links typically look like snapchat.com/spotlight/abc123. Profile links use story.snapchat.com/u/username or snapchat.com/add/username. Private messages, login pages, and account settings URLs are not supported.

Gallery results for public profiles

When you paste a public profile link, the downloader extracts up to 30 publicly available media items from the page. The result shows a gallery view with image and video counts. Each item has its own type label — image or video — and a source label such as story, spotlight, or highlight. You can download each media item individually. The gallery shows only the items the service can extract from the public page at that time.

Single-media results

When you paste a link to a specific Spotlight clip, story, or Highlight, the downloader returns a single result with the available media item. You see a preview with the media type, quality label, and file information. Video items include a playable preview. The download is for the individual item found at the link.

Downloading videos and images

Videos from public Snapchat links are available as MP4 files. Images are available in their supported formats — typically WebP, PNG, or JPG. Each media item shows its type and file information. Videos can be previewed before downloading. You download each item individually — there is no bulk or ZIP download. An HD label reflects the best available extracted option; it does not guarantee that Snapchat supplied a particular source resolution. Memories content is not supported.

Using the tool on your device

The Snapchat downloader works in modern browsers on any device. On iPhone, use Safari; on Android, use Chrome or your preferred browser. Open NewTools, paste the Snapchat link, and review the available media. Download individual items to your device. On Windows and macOS, any browser works. No app installation or Snapchat account is needed.

Public versus private Snapchat content

Only publicly accessible Snapchat content can be downloaded. Private stories, content from private accounts, and media that requires a Snapchat login are not supported. If you can view the content on the web at snapchat.com without logging in, there is a good chance the downloader can access it.

Why a Snapchat link may not work

Several things can prevent a link from working. The content may be from a private account or may have expired. Stories are temporary and may become unavailable after they are removed. The link may be incomplete or may not point to a supported content type. Snapchat may require verification or login to access the content. If the page returns a not-found or unavailable message, the downloader cannot extract media from it.

Temporary processing and file availability

Media may be processed and stored temporarily to prepare the download. Direct Snapchat CDN links are temporary and may expire. When an HLS fallback must be processed, the resulting file may be rehosted temporarily. Temporary files and links are removed according to the service's retention rules. Save downloaded files to your device once the download is ready.

Privacy and responsible use

The tool does not use or require a Snapchat account. Download only content you have the right to save — for example, your own content or content shared publicly. Respect the rights of content creators and follow the platform's terms of use.
