The ZIP Snapchat makes when you ask for your data. Open it right here as your chats with their saved pictures, beside your snaps, friends, memories and places. Nothing leaves your device.

What you'll see
Your chat opens as its conversation, each message in a bubble in its sender's color, with the days, replies, reactions and calls, and the photos and voice notes the export holds.
- Every conversation • Each person in a color of their own
- Search • Every match counted, and a date jumps to its day
- Stats • Who wrote how much, by hour, weekday and month
- Export • Save as PDF, CSV or text
About Snapchat data
Snap has sent people their data since 2018, as Europe's GDPR asked. On accounts.snapchat.com, My Data asks what to include and for which dates, and a day or so later a ZIP comes, named mydata and a number, in HTML, JSON or both.
Its json folder holds account.json, chat_history.json, snap_history.json, friends.json, memories_history.json and location_history.json, among others, and chat_media holds the chats' saved photos, videos and voice notes, named for their day and media ID. Memories are links to Snap's servers, not the pictures.
Filepeek reads the ZIP into your chats, each message in a bubble with its saved photos and videos from chat_media, and lists your snaps, friends, memories and the places Snapchat noted, which Show on the map puts on a map. Search finds any word, Stats counts who wrote how much, and Export saves a chat as PDF, CSV or text. Memories' links are never opened.

Questions
How do I download my Snapchat data?
Sign in at accounts.snapchat.com, choose My Data, pick what to include, JSON among the formats, and submit. Snap emails a link to the ZIP when it's ready.
Why don't my Memories show?
The export lists each Memory with a link to download it from Snap's servers. Filepeek never opens those links, so they show as a list with their dates and places.
Why do some chats have no pictures?
Only the snaps and media someone saved in a chat are in chat_media. A snap that was opened and gone is listed without its picture.
Can I see where Snapchat placed me?
Yes. Places lists what location_history.json noted, and Show on the map opens them on a map.
Is my data uploaded?
No. The ZIP is read in your browser and stays on your device.
