Snapchat video downloader
Snapchat is built around private Snaps, but part of it is public: Spotlight videos and the Stories that creators publish on their public profiles. SocialDownload saves these public videos as MP4 files. Private Snaps and chats are never accessible.
What you can download
- Spotlight videos
- Public Stories from public profiles
- Saved Stories shown on a public profile
- The cover image of a video, when available
Formats and quality
- Video: MP4, in Snapchat's vertical format, with its sound.
- Cover: the preview image in JPG, PNG or WEBP, when Snapchat provides one.
- Quality: the video is delivered as Snapchat serves it, without extra compression.
How to download in three steps
- 01
Copy the share link
On a Spotlight video or a public Story, tap the Share button, then Copy link. The link contains snapchat.com.

Paste it on SocialDownload
Paste the link here. Spotlight and public profile links are recognized.

Good to know
- Public Stories expire: download them while they are still online.
- Private Snaps, chats and Stories shared with friends are private content and are never accessible.
- If a link opens a profile instead of a video, open the specific Spotlight video or Story first, then copy its link.
