Automatically Merge Snapchat Overlay Files with Your Memories
Stop wasting hours extracting zips and manually combining overlay files. Our app automatically merges Snapchat overlays, stickers, text, and drawings into a single complete file for each memory. Get your Snapchat export ready to use in minutes, not days.
The Snapchat Overlay Export Problem
When you download your Snapchat memories, any memory with stickers, text overlays, drawings, or filters comes in multiple separate files. The base photo or video is one file, and overlay.png is another. Each memory is packaged in its own individual zip file. This means you have to manually extract hundreds or thousands of zips, then use photo editing software to layer the overlay on top of each base image. For a typical Snapchat export with 2,000 memories, this could take days of tedious manual work. The separate overlay files make your Snapchat export practically unusable.
Every Memory Split Into Multiple Files
Snapchat exports each memory with overlays as separate files: the original photo/video plus overlay.png. You can't view the complete memory without manually combining them. This splits thousands of memories into tens of thousands of separate files that need manual processing.
Hundreds of Individual Zip Files to Extract
Each memory comes in its own zip file. For a large export, you might have 3,000+ individual zip files to extract one by one. Standard unzip tools can't batch process Snapchat's nested folder structure efficiently, leaving you with manual extraction.
Manual Overlay Merging Required
After extraction, you need photo editing software to open the base image, import the overlay.png, position it correctly, and export the combined result. Doing this for every memory with overlays is practically impossible without automation.
Stickers & Text Lost Without Merging
If you skip the overlay merging process, you lose all the stickers, text captions, drawings, and filters you added in Snapchat. The base image looks incomplete and nothing like how the memory appeared in your Snapchat app.
Automatic Snapchat Overlay Merging
Our desktop application completely automates the overlay merging process. It automatically extracts every zip file in your Snapchat export, identifies memories with separate overlay files, and intelligently merges them into single, complete files. The overlay images are perfectly composited onto the base photos and videos, preserving all stickers, text, drawings, and filters exactly as they appeared in Snapchat.
After processing, you get a clean, organized folder of complete memories—one file per memory with all visual elements combined. No manual extraction, no photo editing required, no missing overlays. Your Snapchat memories look exactly as you remember them, ready to view, share, or upload to any photo service.
• Separate files for base & overlay
• Photo editor needed to combine
• Hours of manual work per 100 memories
✓ Overlays merged into single files
✓ Stickers, text & filters preserved
✓ Ready to use immediately
Benefits of Automatic Overlay Merging
Save Days of Manual Work
Stop spending hours extracting zips and merging overlays manually. Our app processes your entire Snapchat export in minutes, automatically handling thousands of memories while you focus on enjoying them instead of fixing them.

The overlay merging works perfectly for both photos and videos. For videos, overlays are properly composited onto the video frames, so your final video file includes all visual elements exactly as you remember.
No Photo Editing Skills Required
You don't need Photoshop, GIMP, or any photo editing knowledge. Our app handles all the complex image compositing automatically. Just load your Snapchat export and get back perfectly merged memories.
Batch Process Entire Export
Process your entire Snapchat export in one go. The app intelligently handles all zip extractions and overlay merging in the background, showing real-time progress so you know exactly when your memories will be ready.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are Snapchat overlays in separate files?
When Snapchat exports your memories, it splits the original photo/video and any overlays (stickers, text, drawings) into separate files. The main file contains the base image, while overlay.png contains all the added elements. This makes the export extremely difficult to use.
How do I merge Snapchat overlay files manually?
Manually merging requires extracting each zip, opening both files in photo editing software, layering the overlay.png on top of the main image, and exporting. For hundreds or thousands of memories, this is practically impossible and takes days of work.
Does your app automatically merge all overlays?
Yes. Our app automatically processes your entire Snapchat export, detects which memories have overlay files, and merges them perfectly. You get a single, complete file for each memory with all stickers, text, and drawings already combined.
Will the merged files lose quality?
No. We use high-quality image processing that preserves the original resolution and quality of both the base image and overlay. The final merged file looks exactly as it did in Snapchat, with no compression or degradation.
What happens to memories without overlays?
Memories without overlays are processed normally without any changes. The app intelligently detects which files have separate overlays and only merges those, leaving other memories untouched.
Can I still extract individual zips if needed?
You don't need to. Our app handles all zip extraction automatically in the background. It processes every zip file, merges the necessary overlays, and exports everything in a clean, organized folder structure.
Does this work with both photos and videos?
Yes. The app merges overlays for both photos and videos. For videos, it ensures the overlay is properly composited onto the video frames so your final video file includes all visual elements.
How long does the merging process take?
Processing time depends on the size of your export. Most users with 1,000-5,000 memories see completion in 5-15 minutes. The app shows real-time progress so you know exactly where you are in the process.
Do I need photo editing software after using your app?
No. Once our app merges your Snapchat overlays, you have final, complete files ready to view, share, or upload anywhere. No additional software or manual editing is required.
