Some media CDNs use special HTTP headers such that when you visit the links, the media starts downloading instead of playing in the browser. In such cases, it can be frustrating if you want to preview the media before downloading it.

This simple tool allows you to preview media by entering the media URL in the input field above.

All data is processed and requested client-side. No data is sent to third party servers other than the URL you enter.

URL tip! You can autofill the site using a known media type and URL by appending it into this site's URL.
Example: https://not-a-normal-robot.github.io/PolyPreview/?type=1#https://example.com/video.mp4
A type of 1 corresponds to video, 2 corresponds to image, and 3 corresponds to audio. You can put the URL to the media after the type, preceded by #.
The type is optional and is sometimes inferrable from the URL. For example: https://not-a-normal-robot.github.io/PolyPreview/#https://example.com/video.mp4
