Lens Studio

Lens Studio is a powerful and user-friendly creation tool designed by Snap Inc. for building augmented reality experiences that can be shared on Snapchat. Though it was primarily made for developers, even those with little to no programming experience can use it to create immersive AR filters and lenses.

Lens Studio offers a vast library of 3D models, particle effects, animations and sound effects that creators can use as building blocks for their projects. Creators also have the freedom to import their assets from external programs such as Photoshop or Maya. Those who are well-versed in programming can even use the Lens Studio scripting API to create custom interactions for their lenses.

One of the unique features of Lens Studio is that creators can test their filters and lenses in real time using Snapchat's camera, which allows them to see how the AR experience will look before launching it to the public.

Once a lens is completed, users can share it with their followers on Snapchat by scanning a unique QR code or sharing a direct link. The Lens Studio website also provides resources for creators to learn new techniques and concepts, as well as access to webinars, forums and other useful information.

Lens Studio is an intuitive and powerful tool that makes it easy for anyone to create amazing AR experiences on Snapchat.
