To save Snapchat stickers to your phone, you must save the entire Snap they're on or take a screenshot, because Snapchat does not have a dedicated sticker export button. The documented way to save a Snap with stickers to your camera roll is through the Save Button in Snapchat settings, not a sticker-only export feature.
How to save Snapchat stickers to your phone
Snapchat does not provide a built-in way to export a sticker as a separate image file. Instead, stickers are attached to Snaps, so saving the Snap itself is the only official method. You can either save the Snap to your camera roll via Snapchat's settings or take a screenshot of the sticker within a Chat.
Save a Snap with stickers to your camera roll
This method saves the entire Snap, including any stickers you've added, directly to your phone's camera roll.
- Open Snapchat and tap the gear icon in My Account to open Settings.
- Scroll to App & Privacy and tap My App.
- Under Customize My App, tap Memories.
- Tap Save Button.
- Choose one of these options: Memories, Memories & Camera Roll, or Camera Roll.
Once this setting is enabled, any Snap you create and save will be stored to the location you selected. This is the only current Snapchat support page that documents saving content to the camera roll.
Take a screenshot of the sticker
If you only want the sticker image and not the full Snap, taking a screenshot is a viable workaround. Snapchat support confirms you can still take a screenshot of a saved Snap in Chat.
- Open Snapchat and navigate to the Chat containing the sticker.
- Position the sticker on your screen as desired.
- Take a screenshot using your device's standard button combination (for most Android phones, press volume down and power simultaneously; for iPhones, press the side button and home button together).
- The screenshot is saved to your phone's camera roll or gallery, where you can crop the sticker from the image.
Note that screenshots may have reduced quality compared to a native image export.
What Snapchat does not support
Snapchat does not offer a sticker-only export feature or a sticker-specific camera roll save flow. No official Snapchat help page documents using third-party apps or extensions to save stickers. While third-party apps exist, they are not officially supported by Snapchat and may violate the platform's terms of service. Examples include SNappy (mobile app for Android/iOS), SC Upload (browser extension for Chrome/Firefox), SnapSaver (mobile app), Sticker Saver for Snapchat (iOS/Android), Snap Save: Screenshots+ (with screenshot editing), and SnapTools (iOS, save stickers with single tap). Additionally, the retrieved Snapchat support pages do not give model-specific limits, supported device lists, or region-specific restrictions for sticker saving. Always be mindful of copyright and intellectual property rights when using and saving Snapchat stickers. Respect the rights of the original creators and use the stickers only for personal purposes.
