Export is stuck or failed — what to do

Common reasons exports fail and how to fix them.

3 min read·Troubleshooting

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

  1. Open the URL in an incognito window — does it load? If not, the post is private or removed.
  2. Try again in 5 minutes if the platform is busy.
  3. Re-copy the URL from the post's share button.
  4. Still stuck? Contact support with your export ID and we'll investigate within a few hours.
