Snapchat video downloader
Save Snapchat videos as MP4, in the best quality Snapchat has. Nothing to install, and we keep no copy.
How it works
Copy the link
Open the Spotlight video, tap Share, then Copy link.
Paste it here
Paste the link in the box above and press Get video.
Save the file
Choose a quality. The file comes straight from Snapchat to your device.
Which Snapchat links work
Only Spotlight links work. Spotlight is the public video feed of Snapchat. A working link has /spotlight/ and then a long code:
snapchat.com/spotlight/W7_EDlXWTBiXAEEni…
On a computer: the browser bar shows a longer address with the creator's name, like snapchat.com/@name/spotlight/W7_…. This form works too. Paste it as it is.
Links to a profile, to a story, or to a single snap do not work. They are not Spotlight videos.
What you get from Snapchat
Snapchat gives one MP4 file for each Spotlight video, so you see one download button.
- Shape and size: a tall video for phones. In our tests the files were 540 × 960 and 480 × 880 pixels. Vidsaver does not change the size.
- Sound: yes. The sound is in the same file.
- File size: small. A short Spotlight of 5 to 9 seconds was less than 1 MB.
When it does not work
- If the creator deleted the Spotlight, you see "This video was removed or is not available".
- If it is not a Spotlight link (for example a profile or a story), Vidsaver says it found no video at this link. Copy the link of the Spotlight video itself.
Snapchat Spotlight questions
How do I save a Spotlight video to my gallery?
Paste the link above and tap the Download button. Your browser saves the MP4 file with your other downloads. From there you can move it, play it or share it.
Can I download a Spotlight video by link?
Yes, that is how Vidsaver works. You need only the link. You do not need to log in to Snapchat or give us your username.
Can I save Snapchat stories or snaps?
No. Vidsaver works only with Spotlight videos. Stories, and snaps that friends send you, do not work.
Is the video in HD?
Not in our tests. The Spotlight files we tested were 960 pixels tall or less. You get the same file that Snapchat plays on its website.
Questions
Which Snapchat videos work?
Public Spotlight videos work. Private snaps and stories do not.
Is there a watermark?
Vidsaver adds none. It does not edit the video. You get the file as Snapchat serves it.
Which quality do I get?
Vidsaver lists every quality Snapchat offers for the video, best first.
Why does it say the video is not public?
Snapchat shows some videos only to logged-in users. Vidsaver can only get public videos.
Does Vidsaver keep the video or my link?
No. We do not store videos. We do not keep the links you paste. See the privacy policy.
Can I download any video?
Save only your own videos, or videos you have the right to save. Respect the creator's copyright and the terms.
Which other sites work?
Facebook, Instagram, X (Twitter), Pinterest, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Streamable, Twitch clips, Weibo, Loom, Telegram. YouTube and TikTok do not work.
