Video Link Inspector — Platform, Title & Thumbnails for Any Video URL

Paste a TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, YouTube or Vimeo link: the tool detects the platform, fetches public metadata (title/author/thumbnails) via CORS-open APIs, and shows every available thumbnail size. Honest note: actual video-file downloads need server-side tools — this inspector gives you what a browser can genuinely fetch, instantly and without uploading your link anywhere.

Quick answer: Paste any TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X/Twitter or YouTube video link to instantly see its platform, public metadata and available thumbnails. Free, no login, private — runs in your browser.

How to use

  1. Paste the link — TikTok, YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, Facebook, X, Dailymotion or any video URL.
  2. See the truth — platform detected, public title/author fetched where APIs allow, thumbnails rendered.
  3. Act — download thumbnails, open native save options, or jump to the right tool for the file.

About this tool

Before using any downloader people want to know: is this link valid, which platform is it, and what does the post contain? This inspector answers all three in one paste. It recognizes 10+ platforms from the URL shape, fetches public oEmbed/metadata where those APIs are CORS-open (TikTok, YouTube, Vimeo, and more), and renders every thumbnail size. Links from platforms that block browser access (Instagram, Facebook, X) are detected and explained with direct links to their native save options — no fake promises. Why this exists: every downloader site on the internet shows you an ad-wall before telling you the video is private or the link is broken; this tool tells you the truth in one second, for free, without uploading your link anywhere.

FAQ

Which platforms does this support?
TikTok, YouTube, Vimeo and several others expose public metadata APIs that work from a browser — those fetch live. Instagram, Facebook and X are detected from the link and explained (their APIs block browsers), with direct links to each platform's own save/download option.
Does this download the actual MP4?
No — and no browser-only tool can, despite what some sites imply. Video-file downloads require server-side code that fetches from the platform's CDN (which is why those sites break often and log links). This inspector does everything a browser can: platform detection, metadata, thumbnails — instantly and privately.
Is my link logged or shared?
No. Detection and API calls happen from your browser directly to the platform's public endpoints. Nothing passes through our servers.
Why would I use this instead of a downloader?
To check a link before wasting time on an ad-wall downloader: is it valid, public, what's in it, and which platform's own save option should you use.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes — paste from any share sheet, results render in one tap, thumbnails save straight to your gallery.
What about private or deleted videos?
If metadata returns empty, the tool says so plainly: private, deleted, or region-blocked — instead of looping you through fake progress bars like many downloader sites.
