The World is Your Canvas

Lens Studio is a powerful application designed for artists and developers to build augmented reality experiences for hundreds of millions of Snapchatters. With a huge set of built-in features including custom shaders and advanced tracking technology, the possibilities are endless.

    Unparalleled Engagement

    AR is core to the Snapchat experience. On average, over 75% of our community engages with augmented reality to communicate, play, and learn every day. With cross-platform distribution on iOS and Android, your creations can reach people all over the world.

    Unlimited Customization

    Realize any graphical style with our visual programming tool. Create custom shaders with our powerful Material Editor, or choose from the premade Materials Library.

    Powerful Interactive Experiences

    Start with the Script Graph Editor or Behavior helper script to build interactive experiences without writing code, or use JavaScript to create more complex Lenses.

    Transform Anything, Anywhere

    With multiple tracking options and features like segmentation and Landmarker tracking, you can create whatever world you dream up.

    Add Magic to Your Creations

    SnapML allows you to make your Lenses even more intelligent with machine learning. Just plug in an ML model to apply any art style to the camera feed, use custom segmentation masks, attach images to custom detected objects, understand what’s in the scene, and more.

    A Whole New Dimension

    Seamlessly bring the physical and digital worlds closer together by applying your AR creations to the next generation of Spectacles content, so you can share your world—the way you see it.
