Question 1

What is a magnet link?

Accepted Answer

A magnet link is a URI scheme (magnet:) used in BitTorrent peer-to-peer file sharing. It contains an info hash plus optional display name and tracker URLs, allowing clients to start a download without needing a .torrent file.

Question 2

How do I create a magnet link?

Accepted Answer

Switch to the Build tab, enter the 40-char hex info hash, give the torrent a display name, and add one or more tracker URLs. The magnet URI is generated live as you type.

Question 3

What is the info hash in a magnet link?

Accepted Answer

The info hash (xt=urn:btih:HEX) is a 40-character SHA-1 of the torrent's info dictionary. It's the unique identifier BitTorrent clients use to find peers sharing the same content.

Question 4

Can I extract trackers from an existing magnet link?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Switch to the Parse tab and paste any magnet URL. The tool splits out the info hash, display name and every tr= tracker, and shows each tracker as a clickable link.

Question 5

Is this tool safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All parsing and generation runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or logged.
