Snapchat came out in 2011 and, since then, it has only grown in popularity and creativity. In the beginning, there was the O.G. Snapchat filters: the dog, the flower crown, the rainbow puke. These filters were the building blocks upon which we all started, but now there are endless filters and face lenses from Snapchat and hundreds of other creators. With so many to choose from, here’s a selection of some of the best filters on Snapchat right now. If they strike your fancy, just search the name or scan the handy Snapchat code straight from this article.
1. Golden Hour
People love the Golden Hour filter on Snapchat because it attempts to replicate one of photography’s favorite times of the day. The warm colored hues of this filter make it seem like you’re under the light of sunrise or sunset, especially if you use it outside.
2. Anime Style
The Anime Style filter is one that’s super popular because everyone that uses it sees a different result.

If you’re ever wanting to take a picture of you or you and your friends in a place where there isn’t as much light, the Bright Filter is the perfect tool. It adds a bit of brightness with a slight blue hue so you never miss a moment, even if it’s the middle of the night.
5. HUJI Lens
The HUJI Lens is a Snapchat filter that aims to produce the same effect as the HUJI Cam app. This app is a photo-taking tool that replicates some of the ways that photos taken with film cameras come out. So, instead of having to pull out that app, you can just snap a quick photo on Snapchat instead.
6. Polaroid Lens
Another alternative camera style filter, the Polaroid Lens makes all of your pictures just slightly grainy, but in an aesthetically-pleasing way! You also get a little bit of a border around the end result, hence the name: Polaroid.
7. VOGUE NOIR
Ever wanted to see what you look like on the cover of a magazine? Well now you can with the Vogue Noir filter on Snapchat! This black-and-white effect elevates all of your pictures, but truly takes it to the next level with a properly placed Vogue logo that can change colors.
8. Soul Lens
If you like black-and-white filters like the one above, you might also want to check out the Soul Lens Snapchat filter. This one adds a slight blur and some grain to every picture, making for a dark and alternative vibe.
9. Cartoon 3D Style
Arguably one of the most popular Snapchat filters is the Cartoon 3D Style. Tons of people use this filter, much like the Anime Style filter, it shows what you might look like as an animated character; this time in the stylings of 3D animation. One of the best things about it is that you can have multiple people use it in the same shot rather than just one person.
