How to download a Snapchat Spotlight video: copy the link from Snapchat, paste it into the box at the top of this page and press Download. You get an MP4 video in a few seconds. It is free, needs no login and adds no watermark.
Spotlight is Snapchat's public stream of short videos, and the best ones disappear into the feed quickly. ReelGrab saves a public Spotlight video as an MP4 file from its link, with no login and nothing to install. Private Snaps, friends' stories and anything that requires an account are never available, and we would not want them to be. Copy the link from the Share menu, paste it here and save the file. Videos belong to their creators, so keep them for personal viewing, credit the author and do not repost private moments of other people. Everything runs in your browser, so it works the same on a phone, a tablet and a computer.
What it supports: Public Spotlight videos. Private Snaps and friends' Stories are never available.

How to download a Snapchat Spotlight video?
Copy the link from Snapchat, paste it into the box at the top of this page and press the button. You get a preview and a Download button in a few seconds. It is free and needs no account.
Is there a Snapchat video downloader?
Yes, for public Spotlight videos. Private Snaps and friends' stories are never available.
Is this a free online video downloader app?
It is a free online downloader that runs in your browser, so you do not need an app or an APK. For one-tap access, add the site to your home screen from the install card on this page.
Do I have to install anything?
No. Everything runs in your browser, so it works the same on Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows, Mac and Linux.
What quality will I get?
We return the best file the platform makes available for that post. That is often 1080p for video and a full-size JPG for photos. We never upscale or re-compress.
Can I download from private accounts?
No. Only public posts are supported. We never ask for, and you should never share, your login details.
Where does the file end up?
On desktop it goes to your Downloads folder. On phones it lands in Downloads or Files; from there you can move it to your gallery or camera roll.
Do you keep copies of what I download?
No. Files pass through as a stream and nothing is saved on our servers.
Why does a video fail sometimes?
The post may be private, deleted, age-restricted, or the platform may be temporarily rate-limiting requests. Wait a moment and try again, or report the link to us.
