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.

- 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.
