What it does

What this Twitter screenshot generator does

This Twitter screenshot generator turns any public post into an image in three steps. Free to use, no account, and nothing you make is stored on our servers.

You paste the post's link and it loads here with the author, text, media and counts intact. Then you set the canvas size, the background, the theme and the type size before you download it, so the image arrives finished instead of needing a trim in another tool.

How to take a Twitter screenshot

Paste a link, pick a size, style it, download it. No design skills, and no account.

  1. Paste the link

    Open the post on X, copy the URL from the address bar or the share menu, and paste it in. The link looks like x.com/username/status/1234567890.
  2. Pick a canvas size

    Auto fits the canvas to the post. Or pick a preset sized for where the image is going.
  3. Style it

    Set the background, theme and post styling in the editor panel. The preview updates as you go.
  4. Download or copy

    Save the image, or copy it straight to your clipboard and paste it into the post you are writing.

Customization

Every control in the screenshot editor

A post that looks right on a timeline looks wrong as a square feed post or a 16:9 thumbnail. Set the canvas, style the post, and export it in the format you need.

Background & canvas

  • Canvas sizes for Instagram post, Instagram story, YouTube thumbnail, Dribbble shot and App Store screenshot
  • Auto, which fits the canvas to the post
  • Solid colour or gradient background
  • Ready-made gradients, or build your own
  • Padding, to control the space around the post
  • Position the post anywhere in the canvas, centre, corners or edges

Coverage

Which posts work, and which do not

The tool reads one public post from its link. Here is exactly what comes through.

Works

  • A standard post, with the author name, handle, avatar, timestamp and counts
  • A quote post, with the quoted post rendered inside it
  • A post with images, up to the four X allows in one post
  • A post with video, captured on its cover frame
  • Long posts, in full, without truncation

Does not work

  • Threads. One link gives you one post, not the whole chain.
  • Replies shown with the post they answer.
  • Profile pages. The link has to point at a post.
  • Private accounts and deleted posts, which cannot be read from a link.

What people make with it

Creators

Turn your best post into a square image and repost it to Instagram or TikTok.

Social media managers

Send the same post out across four platforms with one look and one set of brand colours.

Founders

Put a customer's post on the landing page as it was written, counts and all.

Marketers

Drop real posts into a deck or a case study instead of describing them.

Designers

Set the gradient, corners, shadow and tilt yourself rather than accepting someone else's default card.

Writers and educators

Save a post as an image for a newsletter or a slide, so it stays readable if the original disappears.

Questions about the Twitter screenshot generator

Yes. Screenshots are unlimited on every plan, including Free, and you do not need an account or a card to make one. Paid plans from $12/month add high-quality downloads, presets, image backgrounds, font and colour control, and your own watermark.

No. Paste a link and download the image. An account only matters if you want the paid styling controls or want to save presets.

No. Screenshots are unlimited on every plan, free ones included.

PNG, JPEG and WebP, all three on every plan. You can also copy the image straight to your clipboard instead of downloading it.

Yes. Choose PNG in the export format selector before you download. PNG keeps text sharpest, which matters most on small type and dark backgrounds.

An Instagram post preset gives a 2160 by 2160 image on the free plan, and the high-quality export doubles that to 4320 by 4320. Every preset works the same way, so the image is always well above what the platform you are posting to asks for. High quality is included from the Professional plan.

Not as one image. Each link gives you one post. For a thread, capture the posts you want separately and arrange them yourself.

Yes to all three. A quote post renders with the quoted post inside it, a post with up to four images keeps all of them, and a post with video is captured on its cover frame.

No. The link has to point at a post, so a URL with /status/ in it. Profile pages and replies shown with their parent are not supported.

Yes. Background, canvas size, padding, position, corners, shadow, 3D tilt, light or dark theme, logo, font size, and which counts are visible are all free. Font family, text and link colours, image backgrounds and watermarks need a paid plan.

A phone screenshot captures the screen, so you get whatever crop your thumb landed on plus any interface around it. This builds the image from the post itself, at the exact size you need, with the styling you choose.

Yes. The post is rendered rather than captured from a screen, so nothing is cut off and you never have to trim the edges by hand.

A preset saves your current styling so you can apply the same look to the next post in one click. Presets are a paid feature: 5 on Professional, unlimited on Agency and Elite.

Yes, in any modern mobile browser. The editor has a lot of controls, so a larger screen is easier for fine styling work.

No. X does not tell anyone that their post was captured. In 2022 X did begin prompting some users to share a post rather than screenshot it, but that is a nudge shown to the person taking the screenshot, not a notification sent to the author.

Yes. You can use the images you make in marketing, articles, decks and ads. The post itself still belongs to whoever wrote it, so keep the author's name and handle visible.

No. The image is built and downloaded in your browser and never reaches us.

No. The tool reads the post from its public link, so anything that link cannot reach, including protected accounts and deleted posts, cannot be captured.

Screenshot your first post

The editor is at the top of this page. Nothing to install, and your first image takes under a minute.
