What's a Geofilter?


Geofilters are a way for Snapchat users to let each other know where they are located. Snapchat has different requirements on what can be in a geo filter and what cannot. 

Snapchat's submission guidelines state that "Geofilters cannot include any branding, business marks, business names, business logos, or other promotional content for a business or brand." Geofilters are primary for celebrations in a specific location. Geofilters also may not include photos of people, URLs, drug-related content or content that you don't have copyrights for. 

Every time I go to a new location, I always look to see what kind of filters Snapchat has to show my friends. For as small as Ada is, we are lucky to have three or four geofilters specifically for Ada or Ohio Northern University. 

Geofilters are primarily for celebrations in a specific location or for events. Anyone can create a Snapchat geofilter if they have a computer! Here is a tutorial on how to make your own geofilter for Snapchat. 

What are your favorite geofilters? Would you create one for an event? Comment below.

  3. My cousin is having a geofilter for her wedding! According to her, they aren't terribly expensive, like $5 for 24 hours! If you were using it over an extended time like Ada does, the cost would add up but it is definitely a reasonable option for a one day event where a lot of pictures are being taken!
