Download stories from public Snapchat creator profiles as MP4. Free, no login. Private snaps and friend stories are never accessible, by design.
A Snapchat public story downloader saves stories posted to public creator profiles. These are viewable at snapchat.com without an account and are served as MP4. Personal snaps and friend stories are a different product entirely: they require an authenticated session and are not accessible to any legitimate tool.
Creators and brands on Snapchat can make a profile public, and the stories posted there are viewable by anyone in a browser without signing in. Those are what this tool saves. The private side of Snapchat — friend stories, personal snaps, anything sent to you directly — is not accessible here and never will be.
Open the public profile at snapchat.com and copy the URL, or use the share option on a story. Short t.snapchat.com links work too.
Snapchat is detected automatically and short links are expanded for you.
Each rendition is listed with its real file size before you download.
Friend stories and personal snaps are built around disappearing. We do not work around that, and we would rather say so plainly than imply a workaround exists.
Public profile content needs no account to view, so it needs none to save. Any Snapchat tool asking for your username and password is harvesting credentials.
Snapchat alerts senders when you screenshot a personal snap. That system covers private content, not stories on a public creator profile.
Public profile stories are not bound by the strict 24-hour rule that governs friend stories, so there is usually more time to save one — though they are still removed eventually.
Video and sound are stored together in one MP4, so nothing needs merging and the file plays with audio immediately.
Works on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac with no app to install.

Most people's experience of Snapchat is entirely private: snaps to friends, a friend story visible to your contacts, messages that vanish once read. None of that is what this page covers. Snapchat also runs a public layer — creators, brands and public figures with public profiles whose stories anyone can browse at snapchat.com without an account at all. That public layer is what can be saved.
The distinction is not a matter of difficulty. Private content is tied to an authenticated session belonging to someone the content was shared with, and the whole product is built on the expectation that it disappears. Reaching it would require either that person's credentials or an active security flaw, which is why every site advertising private Snapchat viewers is either a scam or a credential harvester. There is no third option, because a third option is not technically possible.
Public profile stories also behave differently on timing. Personal friend stories follow the strict twenty-four hour rule most people know. Public profile content is not bound by that in the same way, so there is generally more room to come back and save something — though it is still removed eventually, and treating it as permanent is a mistake.
One practical note that comes up often: Snapchat's screenshot notification, the thing that tells a friend you captured their snap, applies to private content. It does not extend to public profile stories, which are published for an audience and designed to be shared onward. Saving one generates no alert to anyone.
The dividing line is whether an account is needed to view it.
| Needs an account | Supported here | |
|---|---|---|
| Public profile story | No | Yes |
| Spotlight | No | Yes — see our Spotlight tool |
| Friend story | Yes | No |
| Personal snap | Yes | No |
| Chat media | Yes | No |
No. Friend stories require an authenticated session belonging to someone it was shared with. Only stories on public creator profiles are accessible here.
No. Snapchat's screenshot notification covers private snaps. It does not extend to public profile stories, which are published for an audience.
Spotlight is Snapchat's algorithmic public feed, like a TikTok For You page. This covers stories posted to a specific public creator profile, which is a curated feed from one account.
Longer than the strict 24 hours that governs friend stories, though they are still removed eventually. Do not treat them as permanent.
No. Public profiles are browsable at snapchat.com without signing in, which is exactly why saving from them requires no credentials.
Memories are your own saved content inside your account. Export them through Snapchat's own account data download, which gives you everything at once.
Up to 1080p depending on what the creator uploaded. Snapchat compresses on upload, so the original recording quality is not recoverable.
Only with permission. Public to view is not the same as free to reuse, and the creator retains their rights.
We do not host any content. All files are fetched directly from the source platform and streamed to your device — nothing is stored on our servers.
