What you get with DownSpotlight
A small tool that does one job and stays out of your way.
Spotlight as MP4
The video comes as a single MP4 file with its sound, ready to play on any phone or computer.
Every link style
Links like snapchat.com/spotlight/… and the short snapchat.com/t/… share links both work.
Preview first
You see the video, its caption and the creator before you download, so you know it's the right one.
Public videos
Anything that opens in a browser without logging in can be saved. Private snaps can't.
Any device
iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux — if it has a modern browser, it works.
No account, no storage
You don't sign in to Snapchat, and files pass straight through to your device instead of being kept on our side.
A Snapchat Spotlight downloader without the clutter

People use it to watch clips offline, back up their own Spotlight videos, or reuse their own footage in another app.

Saving Snapchat Spotlight videos on your phone or computer
Where the file ends up depends on your device.
iPhone & iPad
Open DownSpotlight in Safari and tap the download button. The file lands in the Files app, under Downloads. To get it into Photos, open it, tap Share, then Save Video.
Android
Chrome and most other browsers save the video to your Downloads folder. A moment later it usually shows up in the gallery too.
Windows, Mac & Linux
Click the download button and the file goes to your browser's Downloads folder. If a video opens in a new tab instead, right-click it and choose Save video as.
If something doesn't work
These are the usual suspects.
It says the video wasn't found
The video is probably private, was removed, or isn't public. Make sure the link opens in a browser where you're not logged in.
It asks me to try again
Snapchat sometimes refuses automated requests. Wait a minute and try once more — most of the time that does it.
The link doesn't open a Spotlight page
Copy the link from a Spotlight video itself. Links to profiles, stories or chats have no single video to download.

How do I download a Snapchat Spotlight video?

Can I download Snapchat stories or private snaps?

Why does it say the video is blocked or not found?

No. Files stream through to your device and aren't stored on our side. The privacy page has the details.
Is it legal to download Spotlight videos?
Saving a video for your own offline viewing is generally fine, but the video still belongs to its creator. Don't re-upload or sell content you don't own, and follow the copyright rules where you live.
