Image & Video Preview on the Cylinder
Saving Images and Videos
Curv Link is not just a link manager — you can save images and video clips directly to the cylinder. They appear as media cards alongside your regular bookmark tiles.
How to Save Media
- Drag and drop an image or video file onto the cylinder.
- Paste an image from the clipboard (Ctrl+V) on the new tab page.
- Add from URL — enter an image URL in the add dialog and Curv Link downloads a local copy.
Previewing Media
Click a media card to open a full-screen preview inside Curv Link. Images load at full resolution; videos play inline with standard controls. No external app is needed.
Media Mode
Switch the cylinder to Media mode using the mode toggle at the bottom. In this mode, cards show large image or video thumbnails instead of favicons, making it easy to scan a visual collection.
Organizing Media
Media items live inside the same folder structure as links. Create a dedicated folder (e.g. "Screenshots", "Reference images") to keep your visual saves separate.
Tip: Media is stored locally on your device and is never uploaded to external servers, keeping your personal files private.
