Comparison

A browser-based alternative to FixMyExport

Updated

FixMyExport (formerly ExportSnaps) is the closest thing to a direct competitor and it is a good product. It processes everything on your own machine, it is honest about doing so, and its free tier of 200 files is far more generous than the 20 here. The real differences are price and shape: it is a $14.99 desktop app for Mac and Windows, and this is a $5 web page that also runs on a phone.

When FixMyExport is the better choice

Plainly: under 200 files, both are free, so use whichever you prefer. Between 200 and 500, only this one still is.

A native app can't be put to sleep by the browser, which matters on a fifty-gigabyte archive. Here, a run that stops in Chrome or Edge carries on where it left off, and a full disk gets handled instead of ending the run.

We also agree on the thing that matters most: neither of us uploads your photos. This is not a privacy comparison, and anyone framing it as one is selling you something.

When this one is the better choice

One thing to check whichever you pick

Ask what the tool does with locations when several memories share a day. Snapchat's export has no field joining a photo to its entry in the JSON, so within a single day the files are genuinely indistinguishable. A tool that gives every photo a pin anyway is guessing, and a pin on the wrong photo looks exactly like a pin on the right one. You will never catch it.

This site writes the shared centre of a day when the day's memories were in one area, leaves the field empty when they were spread too far for a centre to mean anything, and marks every row exact or approximate in the CSV it hands you. That is not a claim about anyone else's tool; it is a question worth asking of all of them, including this one.

Details checked

Read off fixmyexport.com in August 2026, after exportsnaps.com began redirecting there. Prices and platform support change, so check theirs directly rather than trusting a competitor's summary of it.

500 files, free, right now

Under 200 files, both are free. Over that, or on a phone, drop your export here and get the first 500 back before anyone asks you for money.
