Everything you need to download Snapchat.
One paste, and it’s yours, at the quality and format you want.
Save Spotlight clips
Paste the link to a public Spotlight video and Vidferry saves it as an MP4 you can keep, play, or drop into an edit.
No app, no login for public clips
Spotlight is public, so a link is all Vidferry needs. Nothing to install alongside it, no account to sign into.
Keep just the audio
Only want the sound from a clip? Switch to MP3 or M4A and Vidferry saves the audio and skips the video.
Private and on your machine
It all runs locally. No account, no ads, no telemetry. What you pull off Snapchat stays yours.
A Snapchat downloader for Spotlight
Snapchat is built to be temporary, but Spotlight is the public, keep-it corner: short vertical videos anyone can watch without an account. Vidferry saves those to your own machine. Paste a Spotlight link, and it reads the video and writes an MP4 to a folder you choose. No ad page, no login, nothing logged.
Every link is handled on your machine, and Vidferry merges the video and audio into a single MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio) that plays anywhere, from your phone to an edit timeline.
What it can reach, and what it can’t
It’s worth being straight about this. Vidferry works with public Spotlight clips, and that’s the line. It can’t pull a private snap, a friend’s Story, or a message someone sent you, and it doesn’t get around the parts of Snapchat that are designed to vanish. If you can only see something inside the app because it was sent to you, Vidferry can’t reach it either.
One link, one file
There’s no setup here. Copy the Spotlight link, paste it into Vidferry, pick Best or drop to a smaller size, and the clip lands in your folder. Want only the sound behind it? Switch to MP3 or M4A and it saves the audio instead.

Snapchat downloader FAQ
Public Spotlight clips. Copy a Spotlight link from the app or the web and paste it into Vidferry, and it saves an MP4.
No. Vidferry only reaches public content. It can't pull private snaps, a friend's Story, or anything that's meant to disappear, and it doesn't work around Snapchat's own limits.
Not for Spotlight. Public clips download from the link alone, with nothing to sign into.
Yes. Switch the format to MP3 or M4A and Vidferry keeps the sound on its own.
Whatever Snapchat serves for that clip, usually a vertical HD file. Pick Best and Vidferry takes the top the source has and saves it as an MP4.
