RedditClipper FAQ

❓ Do I need to create an account or install anything?

No. RedditClipper runs entirely in your browser. Simply open the web app and start extracting Reddit content immediately. No registration, downloads, or installations required.

❓ What Reddit content can I extract?

Complete post extraction: Extract full post titles, body content, author information, scores, and all comments with their nested replies. The tool preserves the complete hierarchical structure of comment threads.

❓ Which browsers work best?

Modern browsers recommended: Chrome 90+, Firefox 88+, Safari 14+, or Edge 90+ provide the best experience. Mobile browsers are fully supported with touch-optimized interfaces.

❓ How accurate is the content extraction?

High fidelity extraction: The tool extracts content with high accuracy, preserving original formatting, special characters, and the complete comment hierarchy structure. All nested replies are correctly organized.

❓ What URL formats are supported?

Standard Reddit URLs: Supports standard Reddit post URLs in formats like https://reddit.com/r/subreddit/comments/post_id/post_title/ and short URLs like https://redd.it/post_id.

❓ Why do I sometimes see "Invalid URL" errors?

URL validation system: RedditClipper uses real-time URL validation to ensure you're entering valid Reddit post URLs. Make sure you're using a direct post link rather than a comment link or subreddit link.

❓ How does Markdown export work?

Clean Markdown formatting: The tool generates clean, properly formatted Markdown that preserves the structure of posts and comments. You can copy the entire Markdown output or selectively copy parts of the content.

❓ What export options are available?

Flexible export capabilities: You can copy content to clipboard for instant pasting into documents, blogs, or note-taking apps. The tool also supports downloading content as .md files for permanent storage.

❓ Can I edit the extracted content?

Easy editing workflow: Yes! Once extracted, you can copy and paste the content into any text editor or word processor for further editing, formatting, or customization.

❓ Can I use it offline?

Progressive Web App: Yes! Install as a PWA or keep the page loaded. After initial loading, it works completely offline. Add to your device's home screen for app-like experience.

❓ Does it work well on phones and tablets?

Fully optimized for mobile: Yes! Touch-friendly interface with responsive design that adapts to all screen sizes. Perfect for extracting content on the go.

❓ How can I copy content on mobile devices?

Mobile copy support: Tap on any content section to copy it to your clipboard. For longer content, you can selectively copy sections or use the "Copy All" button for the entire post.

❓ Are my extracted posts uploaded to any server?

100% local processing: No. All content extraction and processing happens entirely in your browser. Your extracted posts never leave your device unless you explicitly copy or share them.

❓ Can I use this for sensitive content?

Safe for sensitive content: Yes! Since everything runs locally, it's safe to use with sensitive or private Reddit content. No data transmission means no exposure risk.

❓ The content won't load or appears incomplete

❓ The app feels slow or unresponsive

❓ Copy to clipboard doesn't work

About copy: Some browsers or pages block copying for security. If that happens, the app will offer a download instead, or you can manually select and copy the content.

❓ Can I extract only specific comments?

Selective extraction: While the tool extracts the complete comment thread by default, you can selectively copy individual comments or sections after extraction.

❓ How does the dark/light theme work?

Automatic theme switching: The app automatically detects your system preference for dark or light mode and applies the appropriate theme. You can also manually toggle between themes using the theme switcher.

❓ Are there keyboard shortcuts available?

Essential shortcuts: Ctrl+V/Cmd+V (Paste URL), Ctrl+C/Cmd+C (Copy content). Full list in the User Guide.

❓ How does the internationalization work?

Language detection: The app automatically detects your browser language and displays content in English or Chinese. You can manually switch languages using the language selector.
