What gets saved
Exactly what Stashr stores for each platform and content type, and what it deliberately leaves out.
Stashr's goal is a permanent copy: the parts of a post that matter should survive the original being deleted. This page is the reference for what is stored, per platform. It covers the platforms supported today; as new platforms are added, they follow the same general rules below, and the Connections page always lists what is live.
The general rules
- Text is always stored. The post body, author name and handle, and the date, with formatting preserved (lists, code, spoilers, and so on where the platform supports them).
- Images and GIFs are stored by Stashr. They are copied to Stashr's own storage at save time, so they keep working after the original disappears.
- Videos are not stored as files. Stashr keeps a poster or cover image and links to the original post for playback. TikTok and Instagram covers are copied to Stashr's storage, so they keep working; X video posters are still loaded from X and can stop working if the post is removed.
- Author avatars are stored, so your library still looks right when a profile changes or vanishes.
- The original link is always kept. Every bookmark links back to the source post.
- Already-deleted content is skipped. If a post was removed before you saved it (for example a Reddit post showing "[removed]"), there is nothing to capture and no bookmark is created.
Your copy survives deletion
Because text and images are copied at save time, a bookmark keeps its content even if the post, the account, or the whole thread is later deleted. Only video playback depends on the original still existing.

Instagram's image links expire quickly, which is exactly why Stashr copies the files instead of hotlinking them.
Web clips
Anything you clip from the open web with the right-click menu: a selected image (up to 20 MB) or selected text. See Web clips.
A note on honesty
If Stashr ever cannot fully parse a post, it still archives the raw data it received, so nothing you saved is silently thrown away.
