Snapchat's export doesn't embed metadata into your files. The dates, GPS coordinates, and timeline info exist only in the JSON file—your actual photos/videos have no EXIF data, so they all show the download date instead of when you actually took them.
ExportSnaps reads your memories_history.json file, downloads your media directly from Snapchat's servers, and embeds the correct dates, GPS coordinates, and timezone into each file. It also automatically merges separated overlay files (text/stickers) into single finished photos.
100% private. Everything processes locally on your computer. Your photos never leave your device—we don't have servers that store or process your files.
macOS 12.0+ (Intel and Apple Silicon) and Windows 10 1809+. ExportSnaps is a desktop app, it's not available for mobile or web because large exports require proper file system access and processing power.
