Spotlight is Snapchat’s public feed of short videos, and each one has a link anyone can open. FetchBolt saves the video behind that link as an ordinary MP4.
Snaps sent to you and private Stories aren’t public and never have a link, so they can’t be downloaded.

Troubleshooting and safety
The download doesn’t work. What can I do?
Check that the video plays for everyone: private posts, age-restricted content and anything that needs you to sign in can’t be downloaded, and FetchBolt tells you if a video was removed or is region-locked. Copy the link with the app’s Share button and paste it on its own. If Snapchat is limiting traffic for a moment, wait a minute and try again. Large files take longer to prepare, and the button shows the progress while they do.
Is FetchBolt safe to use?
FetchBolt runs in your browser: no app, no extension and no sign-up, and it never asks for your Snapchat password. Files use temporary storage for preparation and delivery; hosting backups may retain copies. We don’t keep a download history. Our Privacy Policy explains cleanup and backups. The only buttons that download anything are the ones in the FetchBolt card, next to each quality.
