Snapchat downloader: Paste a Snapchat Spotlight URL or a public Story link to download the clip as MP4 in its original vertical resolution, or pull just the sound as MP3. MediaGrabber handles short Spotlight videos and longer Story compilations from public creators. Private snaps and friends-only Stories aren't downloadable. Everything runs in your browser so we never see the file.
We're still wiring up Snapchat. YouTube downloads work right now — and Instagram is next.

Open the Spotlight clip on snapchat.com or in the app, tap Share, and pick Copy Link. Paste the URL into MediaGrabber. Spotlight videos return as vertical MP4 in the original resolution Snapchat hosts. Captions burned into the video stay; MediaGrabber doesn't re-render. The download starts immediately and saves to your device.
No. Private snaps and friends-only Stories are encrypted between you and the sender and are designed to disappear. MediaGrabber only supports content that Snapchat exposes publicly — Spotlight, public profile Stories, and shared Lens videos. Screen-recording your own device is the path for private content, but consider the sender's expectations first.
Snapchat encodes Spotlight at 1080×1920 for newer uploads and 720×1280 for older clips, both vertical. MediaGrabber pulls whatever the source serves without re-encoding, so quality matches what you see on the app. Frame rate is typically 30 fps. There's no "HD upgrade" — if the source is 720p, that's the ceiling.
