Questions, answered

Which links are supported?
YouTube videos, Shorts and youtu.be links, plus public Instagram posts and Reels and public Facebook videos, photos and Reels.
Why does a private post fail?
We only read publicly available preview data. Private or login-gated posts expose no cover image, so nothing can be fetched.
Can I reuse a downloaded thumbnail?
Thumbnails stay the property of the original creator. Use them for reference, moderation or reporting — not for republishing as your own.
