Snapchat Spotlight Downloader

A Snapchat Spotlight downloader saves a public Spotlight clip to your device. Spotlight posts stay up rather than expiring, but Snapchat still gives you no way to keep one, so paste the link here and the video is yours.

Paste a Snapchat Spotlight link and Snapchat Spotlight Downloader hands you the file. Free, and there is nothing to sign up for.

How it works

Copy the link

Open Snapchat, find the Spotlight you want, and copy its link or "Share" URL.

Paste it above

Paste the link into the box and click Download. Snapchat Spotlight Downloader reads the page behind the link and finds the file.

Save your file

The Snapchat Spotlight lands on your device at the size Snapchat stores it.

Spotlight stays up, and still has no save option

Spotlight is Snapchat's public short-video feed. Unlike a Story it does not expire, so there is no clock on it, but the app gives you no way to keep someone else's clip and no way to open it outside Snapchat.

Every Spotlight post has a public web page, though, and the video on that page is a plain MP4. Paste the link and it is yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Snapchat Spotlight Downloader from PublishQ

Start for Free

No credit card required • Set up in under 3 minutes

Copy the link to the Snapchat Spotlight you want, paste it into the box above, and click Download. Snapchat Spotlight Downloader reads the link, finds the file behind it and hands it to you. There is nothing to install.

Yes. Snapchat Spotlight Downloader is free and carries no ads, and you do not need an account to use it.

No. Snapchat Spotlight Downloader is a web page, so it works the same on a phone, a tablet or a computer. Paste a link and the file comes down to whatever you are reading this on.

We add nothing to the file and we never re-encode it. What you get is the file Snapchat stores, at the largest size it keeps, so the Snapchat Spotlight is byte for byte what was published. We also cannot strip a watermark that the creator burned into the Snapchat Spotlight before posting it.

Something you can find again: the file arrives named for PublishQ, the platform and the post it came from, with the right extension on the end. Most downloaders hand you the platform's internal filename, which is a long string of characters and often has no extension at all, so the file will not open until you rename it yourself.

We keep no record of the links you paste and no copy of the Snapchat Spotlights you save. In most cases the file travels straight from Snapchat to you and never touches our servers at all.

Yes. Once a Snapchat Spotlight is on your device you can schedule and publish it to X (Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Threads and Bluesky with PublishQ, which is the scheduler this tool comes from. A free account is enough to plan a week of posts from one place.

— me 👋

Hi, I'm Alexandro 👋

I left my Software Engineer role at Amazon to build tools that solve real problems — the kind big companies ignore because they read spreadsheets instead of using their own products.

I was spending over an hour daily just scheduling 2 shorts across 3 platforms — logging in, reformatting, uploading one by one. That felt broken. So I built PublishQ . Now I create 4 shorts in 3 minutes and schedule them to 4 platforms in under 30 seconds.

PublishQ is bootstrapped. No investors, no vanity metrics. I build what actually helps you — because I use it every day myself.

Thank you,

Alexandro
