Lens Web Builder

A self-serve web tool for building branded augmented reality lenses without writing code or using Lens Studio.

You open Lens Web Builder in the browser, pick a template such as a face effect or a world effect, drop in your logo, colors, and a few assets, and it produces a working AR lens you can run as an ad or share by Snapcode. It is the entry-level path to AR: the deeper tool is Lens Studio, but the Web Builder gets a competent brand lens out the door in an afternoon instead of a project cycle.

A coffee brand wants a lens that puts its cup and logo floating around the user's face for a weekend promotion. Instead of briefing a developer, someone on the marketing team picks a face template, uploads the cup art and brand colors, and publishes a lens people can try and share, all from one web page.

Easy to build is not the same as worth building. A template lens with a logo slapped on gets ignored like any lazy creative. The formats that earn shares give the user something fun to do, not just something to look at. The tool removes the production barrier; it does not supply the idea.

The template is free. A reason to open the lens is not.
