Smart URL Grab Explained

Learn how LINQLO pulls in rich metadata and auto-builds beautiful bookmark cards just by pasting a link.

🔍 What Is Smart URL Grab?

Smart URL Grab is one of LINQLO’s most powerful features—and frankly, it’s the reason saving links finally feels satisfying.

When you paste a link into LINQLO, Smart URL Grab does the heavy lifting by:

  • Automatically pulling in the page title, meta description, and featured image or favicon

  • Creating a visually rich, animated card with that content

  • Organizing it instantly into your workspace layout

No more dull text links. No more switching tabs to copy-paste titles or hunt for previews.

Just beautiful, complete bookmarks—ready to go.

To initiate the Smart URL Grab, simply click the Add Link button on any page you’ve created. Or, for an even quicker experience, just drag and drop a link directly from your browser onto a LINQLO page—Smart Grab will kick in automatically.

🎯 Why It Matters

Smart URL Grab makes link management fast, clean, and genuinely enjoyable.

By transforming each URL into a card with visual and contextual depth, it helps you:

  • Recognize content quickly at a glance

  • Reduce manual work—no need to format or decorate every card

  • Maintain visual consistency across your projects

  • Stay in your creative flow, instead of dealing with clunky copy-paste tasks

It turns your workspace into a curated gallery of ideas—not just a digital junk drawer.


✏️ Can I Customize the Card?

Yes! Smart URL Grab gives you a solid foundation, but you always stay in control.

You can manually update:

  • 🔤 Title – Rename the card however you'd like

  • 📝 Description – Add context or personal notes

  • 🖼️ Image or Icon – Replace the auto-grabbed image or upload your own

This flexibility makes your workspace truly yours—polished, expressive, and crystal-clear.


🛠️ What If It Doesn’t Work?

Sometimes websites block metadata or don’t provide preview content.

If Smart URL Grab can’t find enough details, you’ll get a basic card with the link only.

But don’t worry—you can still:

  • Manually input a custom title

  • Upload your own image or icon

  • Add notes, labels, and styling like any other card

It’s still fast. It’s still flexible. You’re never stuck.
