How to make a Snapchat filter on Canva?

To make a Snapchat filter on Canva, start by choosing a custom size (1080×2340 px). Use elements, graphics, and text to design your filter. Keep space clear for faces. Download it as a PNG with a transparent background. Then, upload it to Snapchat’s Filter Creator, adjust settings, and submit for approval. Canva makes filter design easy!
 
You can easily create your own custom Snapchat filter using Canva. Log into Canva and search for “Snapchat Geofilter” or “Custom Filter”. There you'll find pre-made templates that you can edit to suit your event (like birthday, wedding, party). After adding or customizing text, icons, and images, export a transparent PNG or high-resolution image. Then go to the Create Filter section of Snapchat.com, upload, select a date and location, and submit. Canva's design interface is beginner-friendly, so it's perfect for making stylish filters without pro skills.
 
Snapchat's classic time filter (the one that shows the current time on the screen) is not officially available to download, as it is rendered live inside the app. But if you need a time filter-style PNG (for editing reels or snaps), you can search for it on Google Images, Pinterest, or PNG websites — type "Snapchat time filter transparent PNG". Make sure you're using royalty-free or for personal use. You can also recreate the time filter in Canva by manually adding digital clock-style text.
