How to Extract Text from a Tweet

  1. Copy the Tweet URL - Open the tweet you want, click the share button and select "Copy link", or copy the URL from your browser's address bar.
  2. Paste the URL - Paste the copied link into the input field above. To capture a whole thread, tick "Extract entire thread" and paste the URL of the last tweet in the thread.
  3. Copy or Download - Click "Extract Text" and get the full text instantly. Copy individual tweets, copy everything at once, or download it all as a .txt file.

Works with twitter.com, x.com, mobile.twitter.com, fxtwitter.com and vxtwitter.com URLs. Writing your own post afterwards? Check its length with the Twitter Character Counter or style it with the Twitter Font Generator.

Why Extract Tweet Text?

Twitter/X makes copying text surprisingly hard: without an account you hit a login wall, on mobile the app only lets you select whole tweets, and long posts get collapsed behind "Show more". This tool pulls the complete, unformatted text straight from the source - ideal for:

AI Prompts & Code

People share great prompts, commands, and code snippets in tweets. Extract them as clean plain text without smart quotes or formatting surprises.

Quotes & Citations

Save the exact wording of a statement together with the author, date, and link for referencing or archiving.

Whole Threads

Turn a multi-tweet thread into one continuous document instead of screenshotting tweet by tweet.

Long Posts

Premium accounts can post thousands of characters. The extractor grabs the full text, including the part hidden behind "Show more".

Tip: if the text you need is inside a screenshot posted to the tweet, that requires OCR rather than text extraction - first save the picture with the Twitter Photo Downloader.
