Your memories are broken the moment you export them. Wrong dates. Empty map. Captions and stickers split into separate black squares. FixMyExport fixes all of it and saves everything to your iPhone Photos, Google Drive, or Dropbox. NOT ENOUGH STORAGE ON YOUR IPHONE? SAVE TO GOOGLE DRIVE OR DROPBOX INSTEAD. Most libraries run 5–20 GB. If your iPhone doesn't have room, you don't need to delete anything first. FixMyExport can upload your fixed memories — with correct dates, GPS, and merged captions — directly to Google Drive or Dropbox as it processes them. Your memories go to cloud storage without ever needing space on your device. YOUR PHOTOS SHOW THE WRONG DATE Every exported memory shows today's date instead of when you actually took it. A photo from 2019 lands under today in your timeline. FixMyExport reads the correct capture date from your export file and writes it into every photo and video before saving. Your Photos timeline sorts correctly. Albums by year work. Smart albums work. YOUR CAPTIONS AND STICKERS ARE SPLIT (WE'RE THE ONLY APP THAT FIXES THIS) When you export memories, any photo or video with text, stickers, or location geofilters arrives as two files: the base photo, and a separate transparent PNG that shows as a black square in Photos. Every other app ignores this. FixMyExport detects every overlay, composites it back onto the original photo or video, and saves one clean merged file per memory. YOUR MAP IS EMPTY Your export stores GPS coordinates for every memory in a separate file rather than inside the photo itself. iPhone Photos reads location from inside the photo — so your map stays empty even though the data is there. FixMyExport reads GPS from your export and embeds it into each file. After processing, your location-tagged memories appear as pins on your Photos map. YOUR VIDEOS ARE SPLIT INTO FRAGMENTS Snapchat stores videos as internal 10-second or 60-second segments. A 60-second recording exports as 6 separate files. No other app detects that these belong together. FixMyExport identifies consecutive segments from the same recording and joins them into one complete video before saving. BULK SAVE. NOTHING MANUAL. Load your export, configure your settings, tap Start. FixMyExport processes your photos and videos entirely on your device and saves them to your iPhone Photos, Google Drive, or Dropbox automatically. No tapping to save one by one. Tested on libraries of 64,790 files and 1,163 GB. 100% PRIVATE. YOUR PHOTOS NEVER TOUCH OUR SERVERS. Every file is processed on your device. Your memories are handled locally and go straight to your Photos, Drive, or Dropbox — they never pass through any third-party server. No account required. FREE FOR UP TO 200 FILES Try it free on your first 200 memories. Unlock unlimited processing with a one-time Pro purchase — $14.99, no subscription, no recurring fees. Pay once, use forever.

Your Snapchat Memories, saved to your own phone. Unsnap reads the export Snapchat gives you and puts every photo and video into your Photos library, where they stay yours. Private. No Snapchat subscription, no uploads, no account. HOW IT WORKS 1. Request your Memories from Snapchat (Settings, then My Data). Unsnap walks you through it. 2. Snapchat emails you the export, usually within a day. 3. Open Unsnap, pick the ZIPs — all of them, still zipped — and start. No unzipping. Snapchat splits large exports across several ZIPs, and Unsnap expects that. THEY ARRIVE COMPLETE Captions. Stickers, drawings and the timestamp go back onto the photo or video — one finished file, the way you remember it. Dates. Every memory carries the day it was taken, so a photo from 2016 sits in 2016, not under today. Places. The location goes back inside the file, so your Photos map fills in. Order. Everything lands in an "Unsnap" album, in the order it happened. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Unsnap works entirely on your phone. It reads the ZIPs, rebuilds each memory, and writes it into Photos. No file leaves the device, no server sees your photos, and Unsnap never signs in to Snapchat or touches your account. There is no cloud mode to switch off. Private is the only way it works. BUILT FOR TEN-YEAR LIBRARIES A decade of memories runs to tens of gigabytes. Unsnap tells you how long it will take before it starts, pauses when you need the phone, and picks up where it left off if you close it. TRY IT FIRST Your most recent 200 memories are free. One purchase unlocks the rest, for about what a month of Snapchat+ costs — except you pay once, and you keep them. Unsnap is an independent app, not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Snap Inc. or Snapchat. It reads only the data-portability export Snapchat gives you.
