Introducing the Lens Studio iOS app and web tool

Over the past eight years, Lens Studio (the desktop application) has fostered a thriving ecosystem of over 400,000 professional developers and teams, equipping them with tools to build innovative AR experiences and grow their careers. And we’re constantly adding new features to fuel creativity and lower the barrier to entry, including Easy Lens launched late last year, which makes it possible to build Lenses in a matter of minutes just by typing what you want to create.

Today, we’re excited to introduce the Lens Studio iOS app and web tool. These are experimental new tools that make it easier than ever to create, publish, and play with Snapchat Lenses made by you. Now, you can generate your own AI effects, add your dancing Bitmoji to the fun, and express yourself with Lenses that reflect your mood or an inside joke–whether you’re on the go or near your computer. 

Lens Studio (the desktop application) remains the primary tool for professional developers and teams across Snapchat, partner mobile apps and websites, and Spectacles. These new offerings are designed to empower more people– at all skill levels–to make fun Lenses. We look forward to seeing how the next generation of Snapchatters will leverage these tools, applying their insights to make each offering that much better over time.
