What do you get?
Some accounts show a Bitmoji instead of a photo. When Snapchat includes it on the public page, SnapViewer offers the full render: 1050×1400 pixels in our test, as a 22 KB WebP and a 270 KB PNG with a transparent background. Many public creator profiles show a photo and no Bitmoji; then there is nothing to save.

The Gallery app (.jpg, .jpeg and .png are supported).
How do you keep it with your photos?
Because Downloads is temporary storage, move files you want to keep to Google Drive or another folder in the Files app.
What should you know on Chromebook?
Move files you want to keep out of Downloads: ChromeOS may delete them there to free up space.
What if the download does not show up on Chromebook?
- Check Files › Downloads first: Open the Files app and choose Downloads.
- 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.
Why is there no Bitmoji for this profile?
Snapchat only includes a Bitmoji on some public pages; many creator profiles show a photo instead. When it is not on the public page, there is nothing to save.
Does the PNG have a transparent background?
Yes. The PNG keeps the transparent background, so you can place the Bitmoji on any colour. The WebP is smaller.
