❓ Frequently Asked Questions

🐦 ▼ Does this work with both Twitter and X (formerly Twitter)?

Yes! Our tool works with both twitter.com and x.com URLs seamlessly. Since Twitter rebranded to X, both domain names are supported. You can paste URLs from either domain and we'll extract the thumbnail. The tool automatically handles the redirect between twitter.com and x.com.

📸 ▼ What types of Twitter/X media can I download thumbnails from?

Our tool extracts thumbnails from Twitter/X posts containing videos, animated GIFs, and preview cards with images. For tweets with multiple images, we extract the first image as the thumbnail. Video posts (native Twitter videos and external links) will show their preview frame as the thumbnail.

🔓 ▼ Can I download thumbnails from protected Twitter/X accounts?

No, our tool only works with public tweets and posts. If a Twitter/X account is protected (locked), we cannot access its content or thumbnails. This is a privacy restriction enforced by Twitter/X to protect user content. The tweet must be publicly visible to everyone for our tool to extract its thumbnail.

🔗 ▼ What Twitter/X URL formats are supported?

We support all standard Twitter/X URL formats:

twitter.com/username/status/ID
x.com/username/status/ID
mobile.twitter.com links

Both the old twitter.com domain and new x.com domain work perfectly. Just paste any tweet URL and we'll automatically extract the thumbnail.
