Once you have approved your filter proof, we will send a final email that provides two easy ways to access your filter. The first is a clickable URL link that takes your guests directly into their app and loads the filter so they can use it immediately. Alternatively, we also provide an event QR code that you can share via email; on a Snapcode poster or tablecard. Your guests simply open their camera and scan the code, thats it! Its ready to use, share and enjoy!

Geofilter Studio is a design agency that specializes in Snapchat and now Instagram filters. Filters are all we do! Being the first and largest filter company in the world, we have learned many tips and tricks. Our experience sets us apart from all of our competition. We have become a reputable producer of filters.

Everywhere! Snapchat, TikTok and Instagram filters work everywhere - making filters more accessible than ever before!

As long as you have the URL link or have scanned the QR code once before, it will be saved in your filters on Snapchat and/or TikTik and Instagram camera, allowing you to use it at any time, anywhere.

Every event! For example: weddings, festivals, birthdays, nightclubs, sporting events, high school events, proms, fundraisers, corporate events, university events and many more!

Here's a video that will show you how to order a Snapchat event filter

Processing time for template orders take 1-2 days, while custom orders usually take 2-4 days to complete. Orders that have cartoon imagery need at least 3 days to process. Please take into consideration that Instagram filters do require 24 hours in order to be approved by META.

We suggest ordering in advance to avoid receiving your final filter product after your requested start event time. If you need your filter sooner, we do offer a rushed service where an additional rush fee will be applied.

A Rush Fee is something we charge when you need your order sooner than the design turnaround time. All template orders placed within 24 hours of the event start time will be subjected to a $15 rush fee. All custom orders will be subjected to a rush fee of $30 when placed within 48 hours of the event start time. A rush fee of $100-$200 is applied when a cartoon order is placed within 48 hours of an event. Pricing varies depending on the number of people in the cartoon. Please note: rush fees are subject to change during periods of high demand.

Our designers create custom filters from scratch. For this reason, it takes more time to design them. Custom filters also allow us to work more one-on-one with the customer and require more attention to detail.

Geofilter Studio reserves the right to submit a filter to Snapchat and Instagram without explicit approval from the customer if the order was placed within 4 hours of the requested start time. If the final email was already sent out to the customer, to request any changes, please respond to your proof email and we will do everything possible to change your filter design!

We work with every customer one-on-one to ensure complete satisfaction. We do allow minor revisions to every design at no additional fee. We recommend providing as much detail as possible when placing the order to help us understand what you’re looking for. You can even send us examples or reference pictures to help illustrate your desires. Major revisions may be subjected to an additional charge depending on the requested artwork.

If the designer has not sent you the initial proof, you may cancel the order and receive a full refund. However, if the initial proof and/or final product email has been sent to you, there will be no refunds for your order.

Not quite! After approving your filter proof, the designer will activate your filter. You will then receive a final email containing your Snapcode and/or Instagram filter, link and instructions on how to use the filter! If you do not receive this email, please contact via email to info@geofilter.studio.

If you are experiencing an issue, please contact via email to info@geofilter.studio.
