What movie is this Snapchat clip from?
Trace cannot open Snapchat links, so the way in is the video itself. Save the Spotlight clip or story to your phone where Snapchat allows it, or ask the sender for the original, then upload it in the Trace app.
Trace names the film or show, the moment the clip comes from when it can find it, and where it is streaming.
Free. Share a clip from TikTok, Instagram, YouTube or X straight to Trace, or upload one saved on your phone. The box below takes links; uploads need the app.

How to find a movie from a Snapchat clip
- 1
Save the video
Hold the Spotlight clip and choose Save, or keep a video someone sent you in your camera roll.
- 2
Open Trace
Upload is in the app. This page's box takes links, and Snapchat links do not open outside Snapchat.
- 3
Upload the clip
Pick the saved video and the answer comes back in the app.
A movie scene on Spotlight
Spotlight is full of film scenes with a song laid over them and no title anywhere. Save the clip if the creator allows saving, then upload it in Trace.
If the same clip is also on TikTok, Instagram or YouTube, which it often is, that link works on this page straight away.
Why Snapchat is different
Snapchat links only open inside Snapchat, so no outside service can read them. That is why this page asks for the video, not the link. Some creators turn saving off; then look for the same clip on another app.
Questions
Can I paste a Snapchat link?
No. Snapchat links do not open outside Snapchat. Save the video and upload it in the Trace app.
Is uploading free?
Yes. Uploading a saved video is part of the free app on iOS and Android.
What if I cannot save the clip?
Look for the same scene on TikTok, Instagram or YouTube and paste that link here instead.
