How to create custom lenses on Snapchat<\/h2>\n

Snapchat\u2019s Lens Studio<\/h3>\n

As an add-on to the regular Snapchat app, the platform released its second app at the end of 2017. This app, referred to as the Lens Studio<\/a>, allows users to design and build their own augmented reality lenses to use on the regular app. Pretty cool, right?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This app is a bit different in the fact that it works on desktop computers rather than mobile devices. One of the neat things about it, though, is that the tools you use to create your custom lenses are similar to those Snapchat\u2019s professionals use\u00a0to create theirs.<\/p>\n

This app was a huge release for the social media giant: A whopping 70 million users interact with Snapchat lenses on a daily basis. Now that\u2019s a lot of dog faces and flower crowns!<\/p>\n

Designing your own lens<\/h3>\n

So how difficult will it be for users to take advantage of this platform and create stellar lenses? Not hard at all! You don\u2019t have to be a design whiz to do this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Lens Studio will conveniently include templates and guides that help individuals get started on their creation, including those for both two- and three-dimensional designs. It\u2019s as easy as building a filter base and then tapping on items to change their shapes or other characteristics.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once these lenses are created, users receive a unique Snapcode and Lens Link<\/a> that they can share and utilize to put their lenses into action. It\u2019s as easy \u2014 and fun \u2014 as that!<\/p>\n
