Snapchat Video Downloader
Paste a Snapchat Spotlight link and save the public video as MP4.
Quick answer
Snapchat Video Downloader saves public Snapchat Spotlight videos as MP4 files. Spotlight posts are public by design, but ordinary snaps and private stories are not, so only Spotlight links are accepted. The tool fetches the video the public page serves and keeps its audio. Files are removed two hours after they are created.

Frequently asked questions
Can it save a snap sent to me privately?
No. Private snaps and stories are end-to-end and are never exposed as public web media. Only Spotlight posts can be fetched.
Do I need a Snapchat account to download a Spotlight video?
Not here. The Spotlight page is public, so the tool reads it anonymously. Snapchat itself may still ask you to install the app when you browse.
What resolution are Spotlight downloads?
The source rendition, which is usually vertical 720p or 1080p depending on how the creator uploaded it.
Why does a Spotlight link sometimes fail?
The creator may have deleted the post, or the link may point to a region-restricted or age-gated Spotlight entry that blocks anonymous access.
