How to Build Your Own Examples
- Take a task already on your calendar for this week.
- Write the brief in two sentences: the job and the audience.
- Generate, compare against the version you would have written manually.
- Save the prompt alongside the result so the second run takes seconds.
Getting More From Each Example
Most people stop at the first result. Generate a second version with one changed variable - length, tone or angle - and compare. The better version usually appears on the second run, not the first.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work on private accounts?
No - only public posts can be fetched, since private content is not visible outside the account.
Can I use the photo however I like?
Ask the owner first - permission matters for reposting, publishing or any commercial use.
What resolution will I get?
The tool saves the largest version the post exposes, which is usually the original upload size.
Can I download stories too?
This tool handles post images - stories are short lived and fall outside what public post URLs provide.
