Tweet Downloader — FAQ
What does this tool actually save?+
Everything in the tweet: the full post text, author name and handle, profile picture, timestamp, like and reply counts, video (if any), GIF (if any), every image in a multi-image post, and the original X URL. You can pick how to package it — PDF, ZIP, offline HTML, Markdown, or raw JSON.
Why use this instead of just taking a screenshot?+
A screenshot loses the original media file (video quality, image resolution) and contains no machine-readable data. This tool preserves everything in its original form — useful for archival, evidence preservation, research, and personal backup. The screenshot tool is still available separately for quick visual sharing.
Which format should I pick?+
ZIP for "save everything" use cases. PDF for sharing or printing. Offline HTML for opening anywhere without internet. Markdown if you save tweets to Notion, Obsidian, or GitHub. JSON if you're analyzing tweets programmatically or building a dataset.
Does the offline HTML really work offline?+
Yes. All media — video, images, author avatar — is embedded as base64 directly inside the HTML file. The single .html file opens in any browser without internet and renders the full tweet exactly as archived.
Is this useful for legal or journalistic evidence?+
It's a starting point. The PDF and offline HTML formats include the original tweet URL, archive timestamp (UTC, when you saved it), author handle and stats — useful for citing or preserving a tweet before it can be deleted. For court-admissible evidence, also consider services like Archive.today or the Wayback Machine in parallel.
Does it work with deleted tweets?+
No. The tool reads from X's public syndication endpoint, so if the tweet is already deleted, private, or from a protected account, we cannot retrieve it. Save tweets proactively before they're lost.
How are images handled in multi-image tweets?+
For tweets with 2-4 images, all images are downloaded at original resolution. They appear in the PDF and HTML formats stacked, and in the ZIP as separate files (image_1.jpg, image_2.jpg, ...).
I pasted the first tweet of a thread — why did I only get one tweet?+
X does not expose a free API for descendant tweets, so we walk the chain upward from the URL you paste. If you paste tweet 1 of a 10-tweet thread, you get 1 tweet. To capture the whole thread, paste the URL of the LAST tweet in the chain — we then walk upward to the root and bundle every tweet chronologically. Open the thread on X, scroll all the way to the bottom, click the timestamp of the final tweet, and copy that URL.
Is it free?+
Yes — completely free, no account, no limits. All processing happens in your browser, not on our servers, so we don't store anything you archive.
