Snapchat

Chat with friends on Snapchat directly from your Windows PC with a native desktop app that brings the social network to your computer. Stay connected using your keyboard, send snaps to specific contacts or share them publicly, and enjoy video calls with your friends—all without switching between browser tabs.

Messaging and video calling are seamless on the Windows version. Type out longer messages using your full keyboard instead of hunting and pecking on a mobile device. Make crystal-clear video calls to your contacts using your computer's microphone and webcam, perfect for catching up with friends when you're already at your desk.

Create and customize your own Bitmoji avatar directly on your PC. Design a personalized avatar that looks like you, then use it to express yourself across the app when communicating with friends. This feature eliminates the need to rely on your smartphone for avatar management, giving you full control from your computer.

Send snaps and share photos with ease. While content creation is more streamlined on the Windows version compared to mobile—limited to your webcam and essential filters—you can still capture and send photos to chosen friends or broadcast them to your audience. For advanced photo editing and creative snapshots, the mobile app remains the premier choice, but for quick sharing and communication, the PC version handles the essentials.

Snapchat for Windows works as a dedicated desktop application, providing quick native-style access without the friction of opening a new browser tab each time. Note that Microsoft Edge must be installed on your system for this app to function properly. Once set up, you'll have a convenient shortcut to launch Snapchat instantly.

Download Snapchat if you spend most of your day at your computer and want to stay connected with friends using a proper keyboard, if video calling matters to you, or if managing your Bitmoji avatar from your desktop is important. This Windows version strikes the right balance between accessibility and functionality for desktop users who don't want to constantly reach for their phone.
