[ 01 ] HOW IT FINDS THE STREAM

From a vertical repost to the long upload.

01

Give us the clip

Upload the file if you can: a pasted link only covers the first ~5 seconds, the file covers the whole clip.

02

We search the frames

Distinctive frames are searched visually across the web. The facecam, overlay and game screen all help a frame stand out.

03

Follow the long version

Matches are labelled exact or visually similar. A long YouTube upload that matches on several frames is the one to open and scrub.

[ 02 ] THE MODEL WE REFUSE

One clip, one search, no plan.

You want to see what happened before and after one moment of a stream. That is not something you need every month.

$0.90 a search, a balance that never expires, and half back when a search finds nothing.

How do I find the full stream from a clip?

Upload the clip or a screenshot of it. We search its frames across the web and list the pages carrying the same footage. Long uploads on YouTube — a VOD or a highlight video — are the ones that lead to the full stream; open one and scrub to the moment.

Will it find the VOD on Twitch or Kick?

Usually not directly. Live VODs on Twitch and Kick are rarely indexed as images, so results tend to come from reposts, clip channels and YouTube highlight uploads. Those often name the stream, or link to it.

Why upload the file instead of pasting the link?

A pasted link only downloads the first ~5 seconds. Stream clips often open on a caption or a reaction, so uploading the file lets us search frames from the whole clip.

Some matches look similar but are a different stream. Why?

The same streamer often sits in the same room with the same overlay, so different streams can look alike. Each match is labelled exact or visually similar and shows how many frames agree: an exact match on several frames is the one to trust.

What if nothing turns up?

Then the footage is not on public pages search engines have indexed — a fresh clip, or one that only lives on private accounts. A search that finds nothing gets half its price back.
