Best Snapchat Filters and Lenses
1. Screen Scanner Pro
First introduced on TikTok as Time Warp, this filter took the internet by storm and could be seen all over the social media sites and YouTube. While it’s not made by the same person, this Snapchat filter essentially works in a similar fashion. Once you hit the record button, a glowing bar moves from one side to the other (or top to bottom), freezing the row(or column) of pixels creating hilariously ingenious results.

2. Split Time
Split Time is another clever Snapchat lens that splits the preview screen into horizontal sections and as you move, each section delays just a little bit, creating an illusion that you’re glitching in real time. It looks really cool and you can have lots of fun with it. Get Split Time for Snapchat
3. YouTube Caption
YouTube Caption is another fun Snapchat filter where you can create that YouTube caption meme where the title of a YouTube video is something hilarious. You just need to open the filter and tap to generate a random and hilarious caption. It’s great for schitz and giggles. Get YouTube Caption for Snapchat
4. Show Only 1 Color
The next Snapchat filter allows you to shoot Stories in Black and White with just one hue showing up in the entire frame. You can adjust the slider to preview how that color would look on the screen and how many background elements have that hue. It’s finicky at times but works really well in good lighting.
