About Snapchat Stories
How Snapchat Stories work
Snapchat is built around content that deletes itself, and Stories are the clearest example: twenty-four hours after posting, the file is gone. Only Stories on public profiles — creators, brands and public figures — can be reached at all. A friend's personal Story is tied to your logged-in session and is not downloadable by any external tool.
Step by step
Saving Snapchat Stories
-
01
Confirm the profile is public
Open
snapchat.com/add/usernamein a signed-out browser window. If the Story plays there, it is public and reachable. -
02
Copy the Story link
Use the share control in the app, or take the URL straight from the address bar on the web while the Story is playing.
-
03
Download it the same day
Do not leave it. Once twenty-four hours have passed the file is deleted at Snapchat's end and cannot be recovered.
Formats
What you get
| Quality | Format | Audio | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1080p | MP4 | Included | Stories recorded in the Snapchat camera |
| 720p | MP4 | Included | Uploads from the camera roll, or older posts |

Public Stories only. A private friend Story requires your own authenticated Snapchat session, which no download tool has access to.
Common questions
Snapchat Stories questions
No. Personal Stories are visible only inside your signed-in account, and GripVid is not signed in as you. Only Stories on public creator profiles can be downloaded.
Snapchat notifies people when you screenshot or screen-record inside the app. Copying a link and downloading here does not trigger that, though opening the Story still marks you as a viewer.
No. Expiry means deletion at Snapchat's end, so there is no file left anywhere to retrieve.
Either the twenty-four hours have elapsed, or the profile is private. Test it in a signed-out browser window — that is the same view GripVid gets.

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.
