Peekly — Link Preview

About

See what's behind any link — before you click.
Peekly shows instant, beautiful hover previews of any link on any webpage, complete with Reading Mode, Dark Mode, and one-click screenshot capture — all in a sleek floating popup that never interrupts your flow.

The Problem: Every Link Is a Gamble
You're reading an article, a Reddit thread, or a research document packed with links. You want to know what's behind them — but clicking means opening a new tab, waiting for the page to load, deciding if it's relevant, and then navigating back. Multiply that by twenty links and you've lost ten minutes and your entire train of thought.
There's no way to quickly peek at a link without fully committing to it. Until now.

The Solution: Peekly — Instant Link Previews for Chrome
Peekly lets you hover over any link and instantly see a live preview in a beautiful floating popup — without opening a new tab, without losing your place, and without breaking your reading flow. And when you want to go deeper, Reading Mode, Dark Mode, and Screenshot are one keystroke away.

✨ Why Users Love Peekly
👁️ Instant Hover Previews — See Before You Click
Hover over any link and Peekly surfaces a live floating preview immediately. Decide in seconds whether a link is worth your time — without opening a single new tab. Browse smarter, click less, stay focused.
🧠 Smart Detection for Every Site
When a site blocks iframe embedding, Peekly automatically switches to a rich metadata card showing the page title, description, favicon, and domain — so you always get useful context regardless of how the target site is configured.
📖 Reading Mode — Clean, Beautiful Article Extraction
Press R to strip away ads, sidebars, navigation bars, and visual clutter from any article-based page inside the preview. Peekly extracts the core content, displays it in beautiful optimized typography, and shows reading time and word count so you know exactly what you're committing to.
🌙 Dark Mode — Comfortable Reading Any Time
Press D to toggle Dark Mode across the entire popup — including iframe content, reading mode, and metadata cards. Smooth transitions, consistent theming, and easy on the eyes during late-night research sessions.
📸 Screenshot — Capture the Entire Preview Instantly
Press S to capture the full popup content as a high-quality PNG, downloaded automatically to your device. Screenshots respect your current theme (light or dark), work across all preview modes, and hide the toolbar for a clean, professional output.
🖱️ Draggable Popup — Put It Where You Want It
Drag the Peekly toolbar to reposition the popup anywhere on screen. Keep it out of the way of the content you're reading or move it closer for easy reference — full control, zero obstruction.
⌨️ Keyboard-First Workflow
Every core action has a shortcut: R for Reading Mode, D for Dark Mode, S for Screenshot, Esc to close. Designed for power users who live on the keyboard and hate reaching for the mouse.
