About Snapchat downloads
How Snapchat serves video
Only Snapchat’s public surfaces can be downloaded — Spotlight and public Stories. Snaps sent directly between people are encrypted and are not accessible to any third-party tool, including this one.

Before you download
Downloading a video you do not own is only lawful in limited circumstances — your own uploads, material published under a licence that permits it, or personal offline viewing where your local law allows. Redistributing someone else’s work is not one of them.
