Frequently asked questions

Can I preview the video before downloading?
Yes. After analysis, play a browser-direct preview, choose an available quality, then download a compatible MP4.
Does the video pass through this website?
No. After the public source is resolved, compatible media is processed in your browser and saved to your device.
Which Substack URLs can I use?
Use a public Substack Post or public Note URL that contains native Substack-hosted video.
May I download any public video?
Only download content you own or you are authorized to use. Public access does not replace the creator’s rights.
