Snapchat Downloader Firefox Extension
Download Snapchat Stories & Spotlight videos in one click. Our Firefox extension is free, private, no login needed. Install now!
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.
How to Install SchatDownloader Firefox?
Installing the firefox extension takes less than 30 seconds:
1. Go to the Firefox Add-ons page and hit Add to Firefox. Takes about 10 seconds. No account needed.
2. Then a message box will pop-up from top right corner, please select on “Allow extension to run in private windows” and then hit “Add” button.
3. Head over to snapchat.com and open any public Story or Spotlight video. Just browse like you normally would.
4. You’ll see it right on the video player, a yellow Download button that wasn’t there before. That’s Schat Story Saver doing its thing.
4. The extension automatically opens SchatDownloader.com with the video URL already filled in. Just hit download and save the file to your computer.
That’s the whole process. Four steps. Under 30 seconds.

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.
