tweet2md: Export X (Twitter) Threads, Tweets & Articles to Markdown

Export X (Twitter) threads, tweets, and articles to clean Markdown with images and metadata. No API required.

Key features: - Full support for long-form X Articles (formerly Notes) with headings, lists, and code blocks - Extract tweets, nested threads, and quote tweets into clean Markdown - Preserve quoted-post structure and context in a reusable format - Download all embedded images locally alongside your md file to prevent link rot - Rich YAML frontmatter with author, handle, date, source URL, content type, and engagement stats (likes, reposts, replies, bookmarks, views) - Copy Markdown to clipboard or download as a file - Automatically expand truncated posts and strip engagement buttons, follow prompts, and trackers - Multi-language UI: English, Spanish, German, French, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), Chinese (Simplified), Arabic, and Persian. Content extraction works on any language regardless of UI translation - Light and dark mode popup, matching your system preferences Great for: - Importing X content into Obsidian, Notion, Logseq, Hugo, or any Markdown-based PKM system - Exporting clean text for LLM prompts, RAG pipelines, or AI training workflows - Archiving research threads, news references, and long-form articles offline - Building a searchable Second Brain from your Twitter/X activity - Preparing source material for writing, translation, or summarization Why use it: - One-click workflow from any tweet, thread, or article page - Clean, well-structured Markdown output that is easy to edit and index - Local image archiving so your saved content never has broken links - Zero-API architecture — works directly in your browser with no API keys or accounts - Processes everything locally on your device. No analytics, no tracking, no data leaves your machine. Current limitations: - Focused on x.com content extraction - Videos and GIFs are not exported as playable media files - Requires a page reload if the extension was installed or updated after opening the tab. This is intentional to avoid silent failures and ensure content is extracted reliably from a properly initialized page. - Some content may stop working if x.com changes its page structure significantly This is an open-source project.
