Why We Built This Extension?

SchatDownloader.com already lets you download Snapchat videos by pasting a link. It works great. But we kept hearing the same thing from users:

“The copy-paste step is annoying.”

Fair. So we removed it.

The Schat Story Saver extension is basically SchatDownloader.com with the friction taken out. Instead of you going to find the link, opening a new tab, pasting it in, and hitting download – the extension handles all of that the moment you click one button.

It’s the same tool. Just faster.

What Is SchatDownloader Firefox Extension?

It’s a browser extension for Firefox. You install it once. That’s it.

After that, every time you open a public Snapchat Story or Spotlight video at snapchat.com, you’ll see a bright yellow Download button sitting right on the video player. Click it. Done. SchatDownloader.com opens automatically with your video ready to save.

No copying links. No opening new tabs and pasting URLs. No figuring out “which part of the link do I need?”

Just one click.

One Thing to Know Before You Install

Schat Story Saver works with public Snapchat content only.

Private Stories, friend-only Snaps, and content from private accounts won’t work and that’s intentional. The extension is built for public content that’s already visible to everyone.

Also worth saying clearly: this is for personal use only. Saving a Spotlight video to rewatch it, keeping a copy of your own Story, or archiving content you created — all totally fine. Downloading someone else’s content to repost it or use it commercially is a different story, and we don’t encourage that.

We’re also not affiliated with Snapchat Inc. in any way. This is an independent tool built to make your life easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Use this space to provide your website visitors with a brief description on what to expect before clicking on a section title.

Right now, Schat Story Saver is built for Firefox only. We’re working on versions for other browsers — stay tuned.

Nope. You just need to be on snapchat.com and viewing public content. No login, no account linking.

It’s genuinely free. No catch, no premium tier, no “free trial.” SchatDownloader.com is a free service and the extension is a free add-on to it.

No. The extension only does anything when you’re on snapchat.com. It’s not running in the background on other sites.

A few things to check: make sure the video is public, make sure you’re on snapchat.com (not the mobile app), and try refreshing the page. If it still doesn’t show, reach out to us at SchatDownloader.com and we’ll help.

Yes — both Stories and Spotlight videos. If it’s public and playing on snapchat.com, the button will appear.

Firefox desktop extensions don’t carry over to mobile. For phone downloads, use SchatDownloader.com directly — it works great on mobile browsers.
