I will NOT respond to questions that have already been answered. Refer to this comment before asking a question. There's a good chance your question has already been answered. Q: My download seems frozen. What should I do? A: If you really thing your download is frozen, restart the download with the "Show progress updates" (under advanced settings) enabled. This will show you exactly how many files have been downloaded at each step. Q: Why does it keep saying my input file is expired? A: This happens when ALL of the URL's found in the `memories_history.json` file return a bad response from Snapchat's servers. The `memories_history.json` file only contains valid URL's for approximately 7 days after downloading your data from Snapchat. Watch this video to verify your download file is still valid: ua-cam.com/video/fDc3pZ9guCg/v-deo.html Q: Why does it say some of my memories failed to download? A: Something went wrong when trying to fetch some of your files. The application attempted to download those memories twice, but failed both times. This is likely because something went wrong on Snapchat's side. When this happens the application shows you the time and type of memory so that you can manually save these files. Q: Does this application respect my privacy or do anything with my data? A: Your data is only used for requesting your files from Snapchat's servers. Your data is used to communicate with Snapchat's servers directly and is not used in any other way.

Hey! Thanks for making such a great program! I just downloaded all of my memories, but the program downloaded all my pictures as .MP4 files… is there a way that i can view them as the actual pictures? Windows doesn’t let me open it…
Wait nevermind, it did download all of the photos of some years, but now when i try to open the .MP4 file it says i need to buy a codec go play the video…..
@@Noneofyobiss If you upload the files to something like google photos or transfer them to your phone does it let you view them? This codec issue is likely a problem specific to Windows :/ As for the ordering of your files, it is probably because your file explorer is sorting them by the name of the file (which is why April would come first). You can sort them by the actual date metadata.
This needs more publicity. I am FINALLY able to remove myself from snapchat! Escaping the botnet isn't easy, but this was a start, thank you brother! Bye bye snap fam !
Your absolute hidden gem man! appreciate you more than you realize. Deleting social media and you made it easy. I subscribed and liked because you made a positive impact and helped me. Much love, stay safe brother.
dude.. you are a life saver after sadly getting permanantly locked out of my account and lost about 6 years worth of pics and vids. i was on the verge of tears about losing them, tried many guides but yours was by far the easisest and shortest, all i can say is tank you man for creating this amazing program, you saved so many good times,
I was in the same boat a few days ago bro and felt the same exact way. Fuck Snapchat but I’m so happy they let me still access my account to download the memories
you are amazing, i hope your pillow is always cool, you always get good sleep. i hope you never stub your toe ever again. i wish that you never encounter any check engine lights or flat tires. i hope your packages arrive early and your internet gets faster. i hope you find money left in a pocket. i hope your flights never get delayed and that security never gives you trouble. you are a saint and a legend
You have given us a brilliant solution - being someone from the tech background, I was despising clicking on download for gazillion photos. I appreciate this! Thank you for sharing with the world. :)
thank you so much bro I was trying different methods for about 5 hours until i found your video tutorial and it was really helpful , keep up the great work.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping me out !!! I was searching for this but your video was the only one clearly explained and truly solved my problem. Keep making videos !
Thank you so much! I had begun downloading my memories manually, but it took me forever and it also didn't even download it chronologically. This applications worked perfectly and it only took around 20 minutes to download my almost 1841 memories - I can't even begin to imagine how long that would have taken manually😂 It was so easy to use too, I'm so glad i found this video, and thank you again! Still gonna use Snapchat tho hahahh
For whoever might be wondering, the tool is GREAT but it has some limitations: - it will embed the UTC date & time of the Snapchat memory, so if you're in any other timezone you will need to manually adjust the date & time - it will embed the location only for photos (for videos, you'll need to do that manually based on the GPS coordinates from the JSON file)
Does this save all snap memories? Also does it save all memories that were currently on the phone? Or all memories made on the phone from years that are deleted?
i have 40k memories and they're downloading into my external hard drive now. thank you so much. going to buy you 5 coffees on payday. tytyty i cant thank you enough
OHMYGOD THANK YOU SO MUCH IT WORKS YOU'RE AMAZING I JUST WANTED TO DELETE MY SC ACCOUNT FOR SO LONG BUT ALL THOSE MEMORIES WOULDN'T LET ME DO THAT AND THOSE VIDEOS HERE ON UA-cam DIDN'T TELL WHAT EXACTLY WE GOTTA DO. ALL THANKS TO YOU CHRISTIAN FOR BUILDING THIS APP!! AND I SUBSCRIBED:))
I have around 2400 memories but it just downloaded 321 i tried downloading it multiple times with different versions, it say reattempting download but it gets completed and shows the files which I haven't downloaded Is there any fix or ways to download the remaining files?
Been a couple years, but my photos saved with UTC timestamps and my videos saved correctly (CST) - MacBook. Any way to fix this without manually adjusting the times?
I did this and it worked! Only downside is that the audio that was in my videos did not transfer. Therefore I have my videos but I cannot hear anything.
Hey man, I just have a few privacy concerns. Does the application save, transfer, or copy any of the photos from the zip file to external sources? thanks
Good question! The only time the application uses that data from the zip is when it asks Snapchat's servers for the memory files. You can check out the project's source code to see the full process here: github.com/cal-overflow/memory-download
Yoo what I don’t understand is why do I have to continue the steps after I already downloaded my data and have it on my computer? Technically I’m successfully done right before the Json file step no?
yes. Snapchat made the ability to download your memories directly from the data export AFTER I made this. So in most cases now you don't need to complete all of the steps.
in the third step selecting the memories json file there is none in the list, i followed the steps exactly… what do i do? i’m just trying to download all of my pictures so i can delete my account
My download keeps freezing halfway through. Why is this happening? Also, does it download duplicates if I have to restart the process (selecting the same destination folder)?
Is there a way to convert the mp4 files to an mov or something compatible with Apple's photos library? My data downloaded wonderfully, I'm just having a hard time finding a way to convert these files to something I can use. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks and you're a lifesaver for this!!
I started using this tutorial, but now on Snapchat you can select memories when you download the data. And I had everything didn’t to use the memory download app anymore.
If the download is frozen can I just refresh it or will it redownload from the beginning and make too many copies? I would like to get these all on my computer soon. This app has been great and very helpful I lost my 7+ year old account and there were very precious memories there and I am very grateful for this app. Edit: using version 1.3.4
i downloaded my data last year because my account was deleted, i haven’t done anything with it since then.. does that count as the 7day threshold or am i fine to download them now. i’m trying but it’s at 0%
Thanks it worked I used the windows version. Date is 3-23-2022 had to make 2 seperate folders because I had to restart the application 1 time due to freezing or maybe because i was impatient.
@@Andre-th9of sorry for the late reply. If the program freezes when your transferring your photos and videos create a new folder copy and paste, restart your computer and try again.
@@ironicgamer2883 could you explain Just a little bit more, do I just make an empty folder on my desktop and then copy and paste the previous folder into that one and just use that?
hey, i have windows and im very lost. Your website didnt have all the options your video shows. Ive gotten to the part where it says view downloads internet explorer. Im around the 3:35 of your video tho, so not terribly behind.
Fantastic Program!!! Is there any way to include your location data in the downloaded images? I see all the longitude/latitude data is there in the .json file
To my account got permanently locked outta nowhere but I’m trying to download all my memories saved pictures videos ect is there a way I can download my all the people I had added like their usernames ect to add them back on my new account?
Hello I just used your program and was only able to receive my data from the last 2 years would you know how to get the rest of my data past 2 years?? Thanks!
When Snapchat emailed me a link to download all my data, two ZIP files were available. Their names are identical except one ends in "-1.zip", but when I download them both they are different sizes. So what is the difference between them and which one should I use?

Same here; did you ever figure it out?
Uncheck the option to download your memories as a separate file. It will give you a .json file instead.
I got my data from Snapchat but there is no memories_json file. Could it have been named something else?
same thing here! I have no idea
you have to not click do you want to include your memories as a downloadable file and give a range. and that gave me the memories_history.json file
buying a hard drive now. tysm for this you're so thoughtful
Omg it doesn\t download any text on my memories! Why would i not want the text that came with the memories dont do this ong
