Export is stuck or failed — what to do
Common reasons exports fail and how to fix them.
Most common causes
- The post is from a private account — only public posts are supported.
- The post was deleted between when you copied the URL and when we tried to fetch it.
- The platform is rate-limiting us — usually self-resolves within a few minutes.
- The URL is malformed (missing video ID, e.g.).
Fixes
- Open the URL in an incognito window — does it load? If not, the post is private or removed.
- Try again in 5 minutes if the platform is busy.
- Re-copy the URL from the post's share button.
- Still stuck? Contact support with your export ID and we'll investigate within a few hours.
