What do you get?
Some accounts show a Bitmoji instead of a photo. When Snapchat includes it on the public page, SnapViewer offers the full render: 1050×1400 pixels in our test, as a 22 KB WebP and a 270 KB PNG with a transparent background. Many public creator profiles show a photo and no Bitmoji; then there is nothing to save.

Which app opens it on iPad?
Files (Quick Look preview) or Photos once saved there.
How do you keep it with your photos?
Photos and videos saved from Safari appear in Photos › Recently Saved on iPad; a downloaded file stays in Files › Downloads until you move or share it.
What should you know on iPad?
If Safari is set to save to iCloud Drive, the file appears in iCloud Drive › Downloads.
What if the download does not show up on iPad?
- Check Files › Downloads first: Tap Safari's Downloads button to see the status of the download and open the file.
- Make sure the profile is public. Friends-only Stories and private accounts cannot be read without logging in, and this tool never asks for a Snapchat password.
- Download links expire after one hour. If a button stops working, look the username up again.
- Stories disappear from Snapchat after a while; if a snap is gone from the profile, it is gone here too.

Is SnapViewer part of Snapchat?
No. SnapViewer is an independent tool and is not affiliated with Snap Inc. It only reads public profiles.
Can I see private or friends-only content?
No. Only public profiles and public Stories can be read without logging in. Anything shared with friends only is out of reach, by design.
Why is there no Bitmoji for this profile?
Snapchat only includes a Bitmoji on some public pages; many creator profiles show a photo instead. When it is not on the public page, there is nothing to save.
Does the PNG have a transparent background?
Yes. The PNG keeps the transparent background, so you can place the Bitmoji on any colour. The WebP is smaller.
