Snapchat is a popular way to share moments with friends. While the app encourages live photos and videos, you can also send pictures from your camera roll. This article provides several methods for sending a photo as a Snapchat, including using filters, stickers, third-party apps, and editing software.
Using Snapchat Filters to Send a Photo
Snapchat allows you to apply filters to photos from your camera roll. This method is simple but has a drawback: the recipient will know the photo isn’t a live snap.
- Open Snapchat and swipe up to access Memories. Navigate to your Camera Roll and select the desired photo.
Accessing Camera Roll in Snapchat Memories - Tap the “Edit” icon (bottom left) and swipe right to find a filter.
Applying a Filter to a Photo - After applying the filter, tap “Send To,” choose a recipient, and tap “Send.”

Choosing a Photo from Camera Roll - Tap the “Pencil” icon (bottom left), then the “Scissor” icon to create a custom sticker by tracing an object.
Creating a Custom Sticker in Snapchat - Take a new snap or use the existing photo. Tap the “Sticker” icon to add built-in or custom stickers.
