Why visual bookmarks matter

Rich visual previews make bookmarks more scannable, recognizable, and useful.

Rich Visual Previews
Replace plain-text bookmarks with rich visual cards showing the website favicon, logo, title, and description. Make your bookmark manager feel like a curated reading list.
Favicon & Logo Extraction
Automatically extract favicons, Apple touch icons, and company logos for every bookmarked URL. Give each bookmark a unique visual identity for instant recognition.
OG Image Thumbnails
Display Open Graph images as thumbnail previews in bookmark cards. Show users what the page looks like before they click — just like social media link previews.
Any Website, Any Page
Works with any URL — articles, docs, tools, SaaS pages, blogs. Brandohue extracts metadata from any public webpage regardless of platform or tech stack.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I add rich previews to my bookmark manager?
When a user bookmarks a URL, call Brandohue's /api/v1/extract with that URL. The API returns the favicon URL, logo URL, page title, meta description, and OG image. Use these fields to build a visual bookmark card — show the favicon next to the domain, the title as the headline, and optionally the OG image as a thumbnail.
What if a website doesn't have Open Graph tags?
Brandohue handles this gracefully: if og:image is missing, your app can show a text-only bookmark or use the favicon as the visual element. If og:title is missing, Brandohue falls back to the HTML <title> tag. The API always returns the best available data — your bookmark UI just needs to handle null fields gracefully.
How fast is metadata extraction for bookmark previews?
Most extractions complete in under 3 seconds. For bookmarking where users expect instant results, enable caching (useCache: true) — cached responses return near-instantly and cost 0 credits. Many bookmark tools fetch metadata in the background after saving the URL.
Can I enrich existing bookmarks in bulk?
Yes. If you have a collection of bookmarks with URLs, iterate through them and call Brandohue for each URL. Use batch processing with rate limiting for large collections. Enable caching so frequently accessed URLs cost 0 credits after the first extraction.
What metadata is most useful for bookmark previews?
The most commonly used fields for bookmark previews are: faviconUrl (small icon next to the URL for brand recognition), logoUrl (larger logo for rich bookmark cards), title (page or article title), description (meta or OG description for context), and ogImage (hero image for visual bookmark thumbnails).
How much does it cost to enrich bookmarks?
Each URL extraction costs 1 credit. Cached extractions (when the same URL was recently extracted and useCache is enabled) cost 0 credits. New accounts get 1000 free credits. For bookmark tools, caching is highly recommended since users often revisit the same URLs.
Does this work for dynamic or JavaScript-heavy pages?
Yes. Brandohue renders pages with a headless browser before extraction, so JavaScript-heavy websites (React, Vue, Angular SPAs) are fully supported. Your bookmark tool gets metadata from the rendered page, not just raw HTML — critical for modern web apps and SaaS tools.
