Bring your Snapchat Memories home.

Snapchat now keeps only 5 GB of Memories for free. Beyond that, you pay or you export. SnapMemories turns your export into a real photo library: every photo and video gets its date, place and stickers back.

Why the raw export isn't enough

Snapchat does give your files back, just not in a shape a photo app understands. Here is what a real export looks like, and what SnapMemories fixes.

What Raw Snapchat export With SnapMemories
Date The date is not stored inside the photos. It only lives in the file name and file date, which change as soon as you copy or send them. The exact date and time are written inside every photo and video, in your time zone. '25 6 01
Place GPS positions sit apart, in a technical file nobody opens. The place is written in the file, so Google Photos and Apple Photos show it on a map.
Stickers Text, stickers and drawings come as a separate transparent file. They are put back on the photo, the way you posted it.
Sorting Hundreds of files with unreadable names in a single folder. 2025-06-01_8FEAB72D-F839-4B84-BE0C-5A26D4067D3E-main.jpg One folder per month, one file name per date. 2025/2025-06/2025-06-01_02-11-34.jpg

Get your Memories back

Already have your ZIP files? Drop them below. Not yet? The tutorial above shows how to get them.

Nothing is uploaded: your files are read inside this tab.

    0Photos
    0Videos
    0Size

      Pick or create a folder, for example “Snapchat Memories” in your Pictures. Memories already saved there are skipped.

      This browser can't write into a folder, so you'll get ZIP files of 1 GB max. Chrome or Edge on a computer save straight into a folder.

      Your photos never leave your device

      No server

      This page reads your ZIP files inside your browser and writes the result to your disk. Nothing is sent anywhere.

      Original quality

      Photos are not recompressed. Only the date and place information is added.

      Open source

      All the code is public on GitHub, so anyone can check what it does.

      Questions

      How much does it cost?

      Nothing. No account, no ads, no subscription.

      Is it safe?

      Your export never leaves your device. There is no server behind this page: it reads the ZIP files in your browser and writes the result to your disk.

      How long does it take?

      Snapchat needs a few minutes to a few hours to prepare the export. After that, the time depends mostly on the size of your export and the speed of your disk.

      Snapchat sent me several ZIP files.

      That's normal for big exports. Drop all of them at the same time.

      Can I do it on my phone?

      It works for small exports. For a big library, use a computer with Chrome or Edge.

      How do I put them in Google Photos or iCloud?

      Upload the folder you got. The date and place are read automatically.

      What if it stops halfway?

      Start again with the same folder: memories already saved are skipped.

      Is there an app?

      Yes, for Windows. It's useful for very old exports that only contain download links.
