  2. Paste it and press Get photos. Every photo in the post appears, with photos from a quoted post and video cover images.
  3. Pick the size and format. Original gives the full uploaded file. Choose JPG, PNG or WebP - the real file size is shown.
  4. Download. Press Download. One or two photos come as separate files, three or more as one ZIP.

Works with x.com, twitter.com, mobile links and fxtwitter / vxtwitter / fixupx links.
