Obsidian Link Embed

This plugin allows you to convert URLs in your notes into embedded previews.

This is how it looks.

Usage

The easiest way to use is by pasting your link and then creating an embed preview.

Additionally, there are three ways to pass the URL to this plugin.

1. Selecting the URL you want to parse

If nothing is selected

2. Put your cursor within the URL text that you want to parse

Or

3. Copy the URL into the clipboard

Then

• Open the command Palette
• Select the command Link Embed: Embed link

In case some parsers are not working, you can also use the Link Embed: Embed link with ... to specify one parser.

Settings

You can change the default parser in the plugin settings.

And In Place means the selection in the editor will be removed.

The embedded preview will always be inserted into the next line.

Here is the table comparing the supported parsers.

Parser	Speed	Stable	Desc Length	Limitation
JSONLink	**	*	***	Unlimited
MicroLink(Default)	***	***	**	50/day
Iframely	**	**	*	1000/month
