Frequently Asked Questions

Snapchat has announced they will delete all cloud-stored Memories on September 1, 2026. After this date, any memories you haven't downloaded will be permanently lost. This is not a rumor — it's an official policy change. Our service helps you preserve your memories with their original dates intact before the deadline.

Any Snapchat Memories stored in the cloud that you haven't exported will be permanently deleted. Snapchat will not be able to recover them. This includes photos, videos, stories, and any other content saved to Memories.

The countdown on our homepage shows exactly how much time remains. We recommend acting soon rather than waiting until the last minute, as Snapchat's data export process takes 24-48 hours, and there may be a rush of users near the deadline.

As of now, Snapchat has not indicated any plans to extend the September 1, 2026 deadline. We recommend treating this as a firm deadline and exporting your memories as soon as possible.

SnapSavior takes your Snapchat data export (which is a confusing mess of files) and transforms it into properly organized photos and videos. We merge overlay files (captions, stickers, filters) back onto your base images, embed the original capture dates into file metadata, and organize everything chronologically.

Snapchat's data export gives you: (1) Base images and overlay files as SEPARATE files that need manual merging, (2) Random file names with no dates, (3) JSON metadata files instead of embedded EXIF data, (4) Files scattered across confusing folder structures. With thousands of memories, manually fixing this would take hundreds of hours.

Yes! We automatically merge the base image with any overlays (captions, stickers, drawings, filters) to recreate your snap exactly as you remember it. The final result looks just like what you saw in Snapchat.

Most uploads are processed within minutes, depending on the number of memories. Larger exports (10,000+ memories) may take up to an hour. You'll receive a notification when your memories are ready.

No. Each SnapSavior purchase is tied to a single Snapchat account. If you have multiple accounts, you'll need to make separate purchases for each one.

Open Snapchat, go to Settings > My Data > Submit Request. Snapchat will email you a download link within 24-48 hours. Download the ZIP file (don't unzip it) and upload it directly to SnapSavior. Check our tutorial page for detailed step-by-step instructions.

Snapchat typically prepares your data within 24-48 hours after you submit a request. Larger accounts with many years of memories may take slightly longer. You'll receive an email when it's ready.

The export includes all your saved Memories (photos and videos), Stories you've saved, Camera Roll backups (if enabled), Spotlight submissions, and metadata about when each item was created.

No! Upload the ZIP file directly without unzipping it. Our system handles the extraction and processing automatically.

Only you. Your memories are processed automatically by our system — no human ever views your content. Your files are isolated and only accessible through your authenticated account.

Your processed memories are available for download for 90 days after processing. After that, they are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers. You can also manually delete your data at any time from your dashboard.
