What do you get?

A public Story is a set of snaps that a public profile has posted recently. SnapViewer lists each snap with its date and gives one download per snap: photos as JPG, videos as MP4. In our test on 2026-10-30 one large public profile had 112 Story snaps (76 videos and 36 photos); a photo was 1242×2208 pixels (178 KB) and a 10-second video was a 480×270 MP4 of 320 KB.

Which app opens it on Android?

The Files app or Google Photos (On this device).

How do you keep it with your photos?

Google Photos shows pictures and videos saved by other apps under Collections › On this device (device folders), so a downloaded file can be viewed there.

What should you know on Android?

Google's help does not give one fixed folder path because phone makers choose it; open the Files app and look at Recents.

What if the download does not show up on Android?

  • Check the Files app first: In Chrome, tap More (top right) › Downloads. Files by Google also lists new downloads under Recents.
  • 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.

Do I need an app or a Snapchat account?

No. It runs in the browser (Chrome), with no sign-up and no app to install.

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.

Does the person know I saved their Story?

SnapViewer does not log in to Snapchat, so it does not use your account to open the Story. We cannot speak for what Snapchat records on its own servers.

How long are Stories available?

Snapchat removes Story snaps after a while. In our tests, a public profile still listed snaps up to about six days old; regular friends' Stories last 24 hours.
