Browser playback for the recipient
The recipient gets a watch page instead of a source-file download or an account invitation.
Video link sharing
Upload a video and share it with one link
A local video may be too large for chat or awkward to play on another device. Save Replay uploads the part you choose and gives it a browser watch page. The basic workflow works without an account.
No account required for the basic flow.
Direct answer
Direct answer
Choose a local MP4, MOV, M4V, or WebM file, preview it in your browser, select the moment you want, and start the upload. Save Replay reserves one watch URL as the upload begins. Public or unlisted recipients can open that page without creating an account.
The workflow
From local file to watch link
- 1
Choose the local video
Drop in a supported file and preview it immediately before anything is uploaded.
- 2
Keep the part you need
Set the start and end points so the browser prepares only the selected segment.
- 3
Send the watch link
Copy the reserved share URL as soon as upload completes. The same page moves from processing to ready.
Why it works
A direct route from local file to watch page
Email attachments, chat upload limits, and device-specific playback can block the handoff. Save Replay gives the selected moment its own browser page, so you send a link instead of passing the source file around.
The original video stays on your device during preview and local preparation. Save Replay uploads the prepared selection, then processes it for reliable playback on the same share URL.
One stable URL
The link is reserved early and remains the place to watch once processing finishes.

Questions for this workflow
Does the viewer need a Save Replay account?
No. A viewer can open a public or unlisted watch link without signing in.
Can I copy the link before processing finishes?
Yes. Save Replay reserves the watch URL as the upload begins, and that page reports the current state until the clip is ready.
Is the complete original video uploaded?
No. The source stays local while you preview and trim it; Save Replay receives the browser-prepared selection.
Which source files can I choose?
MP4, MOV, M4V, and WebM are accepted when the current browser can decode and safely prepare their video and audio tracks.
