How To Create Your Own Snapchat Geofilter

One of the better features in Snapchat is the often goofy geofilters that pop up when you’re making a snap from a specific location.

The new themes are accessible through Snapchat’s web tool for creating geofilters.

Snapchat rolled out customizable templates for users looking to purchase and create on-demand geofilters, eliminating the need for the use of image-editing software.

You can also animate your captions the same way you can animate emojis, “pinning” them to an object inside a video snap by long-pressing the caption after you’ve recorded your video. Snapchat clearly doesn’t want to limit the appeal of this offering, given its pricing; Geofilter costs start at just $5 depending on how big of an area you want to cover, and how long you want the filter to last.

Users can now tap their faces once to use lenses, rather than having to press and hold.

You can also now preview a person’s public stories before adding them as a friend – something that could help users discover new accounts a little more easily. That said, the price does add up quickly if you want to extend the time or distance, and you can reserve one for up to a month within a 5-mile radius.
