Tips
- Only public Spotlight videos work. Private snaps, chats and stories can never be saved.
- Copy the link with the Share button in Spotlight.
If your Snapchat link doesn't work
- Story or snap link doesn't work. Only Spotlight links (snapchat.com/spotlight/…) are public. Stories from friends and private snaps can't be downloaded.
- Link opens the Snapchat app. Use the Share button on the Spotlight video, choose Copy link, and paste it here instead of opening it.
- "Video not found". The creator may have removed it from Spotlight.
Saving on iPhone, Android or a computer
- iPhone and iPad. In the Snapchat app, tap Share and Copy link, then paste it here in Safari. After tapping MP4, Safari keeps the file in Files, in the Downloads folder. Open it and use Share, then Save Video to add it to Photos.
- Android. Copy the link in the Snapchat app, paste it here in Chrome and tap MP4. The file goes to the Downloads folder and shows up in your gallery or Files app.
- Windows, Mac and Linux. Copy the address from the browser bar or the post's share menu, paste it here and save the file. It lands in your usual Downloads folder.
MP4 or MP3: which to pick
Choose MP4 to keep the picture and sound. Higher resolutions look sharper but make bigger files; 720p is plenty for phones and chat apps. Choose MP3 when you only need the audio, such as a talk, a song or a podcast clip. MP3 files are much smaller and play on almost any device.
After you download
- Compress the video to make it smaller for WhatsApp, Discord or email.
- Trim the video to keep only the part you need.
- Turn it into a GIF for chats and slides.
- Convert it to WebM, MOV or another format.
- Extract the audio from an MP4 you already saved.
These tools run in your browser, so the video doesn't need to be uploaded again.

About Snapchat downloads
Snapchat Spotlight videos are public, like short-video feeds on other apps. You can save a Spotlight video here as MP4. Private snaps and chats are never accessible, by design.
Spotlight videos are vertical (9:16), usually 720p to 1080p, and short, so they download quickly.
How it works
Copy the link
Open the post on Snapchat and use Share, then Copy link.
Paste it here
Press "Get video" to see the title and the formats you can save.
Save the file
Pick MP4 or MP3. The file is ready in a few seconds.
