Download Snapchat Spotlight videos
Spotlight is Snapchat’s public video feed, similar to TikTok and Reels. Every Spotlight video has its own link (snapchat.com/spotlight/…). Paste it here and TapDL saves it as an MP4 with sound. Links that include a username, like snapchat.com/@name/spotlight/…, work too.
Download public Snapchat stories
Creators and brands with a public profile post stories anyone can watch on snapchat.com. Paste the profile link (snapchat.com/add/username or snapchat.com/@username) and TapDL lists the snaps in their current public story. Photo snaps save as JPG and video snaps as MP4. Use Download all to save the whole story in one go.
Save Snapchat videos on iPhone, Android and PC
iPhone: Safari → Save to phone → Save Video. Android: the MP4 goes to Gallery and Downloads. Computer: copy the address of a Spotlight video or public profile from snapchat.com, paste it here and click Download.
Does Snapchat notify people when you save their snap?
Snapchat’s screenshot and save alerts work inside the app. Saving a public Spotlight video or public story from its web link with TapDL doesn’t go through the app, so no alert is sent. Still, respect the creator: ask before you repost and give credit.
Snapchat video not downloading?
- The account is private or the story is only shared with friends.
- The story expired. Public stories usually disappear after 24 hours.
- The Spotlight video was deleted or set to private.
Saving short videos from other apps too? Try the TikTok downloader or the Instagram reels downloader.
