Overview
Power Downloader analyzes public Facebook and Instagram media links. Paste any supported URL at https://www.zoeapps.tech/powerdownloader and tap Analyze link. If the content requires a logged-in session, is private, or uses an unsupported format, analyze will fail with a clear error message.

How to test if a link is public
Open the URL in a private/incognito browser window without logging into Facebook or Instagram. If the platform asks you to sign in or shows "content isn't available," Power Downloader cannot download that link either.
Link hygiene tips
- Copy the link directly from Share → Copy link in the app.
- Remove tracking parameters if a paste fails — the core path should remain.
- Prefer instagram.com over third-party redirect wrappers.
- For Facebook share links that fail, open in browser and copy the watch URL instead.
