An export is a folder of files you have to dig through. In Feedmirror you can save public TikTok links as private references and upload your originals to a private library where videos play and images open.

  • History import from connected Instagram and Facebook accounts
  • Uploads up to 250 MB each: video, audio, images, PDF and text
  • Public YouTube and TikTok links kept as private references
  • Export your whole library as a ZIP whenever you want
