Paste an X (Twitter) profile link or @username, not a post link, to list the archived copies of that account’s posts on the Wayback Machine.

Xtracticle’s deleted tweet finder searches the Wayback Machine for an account’s posts. Type an @username or paste a profile link and you get the posts of that account that the Internet Archive captured, newest first, each with a link to its snapshot. If a post was deleted from X after someone archived it, the snapshot is how you see it again. It’s free and needs no account.
@username or paste the profile link (x.com/username). Use the profile, not a single post link.A deleted post can only be seen if a copy was made before it disappeared. This tool looks for one kind of copy, Wayback Machine snapshots, and is honest about the gaps:
For an account that is still live, the same panel has a Download latest 20 posts (ZIP) button. It saves the account’s 20 most recent public posts as Markdown files while they are still online, which is the only reliable way to keep a post for later.
If you have the link of the post itself (x.com/username/status/…), paste that instead. When X no longer serves the post,
Xtracticle shows one-click searches for that exact post on the Wayback Machine and on archive.today, plus a shortcut to the account’s other
archived posts. A search can still come back empty: archives only hold copies someone made before the deletion. The
Wayback Machine guide covers the manual searches step by step.
Paid tracker services such as TrackTweets watch an account and keep a copy of every post it deletes from the day you start tracking. They answer a different question from this page, and they cost money per account:
| Xtracticle | Paid tracker | |
|---|---|---|
| Finds | Posts archived in the past, including ones deleted before you looked | Posts deleted after you start tracking |
| Price | Free | About $9 a month per account (TrackTweets, at the time of writing) |
| Account | No login, nothing to connect | Sign-up and subscription |
| Best for | A one-off look at what an account posted | Ongoing monitoring of specific accounts |
Xtracticle Pro is coming with the full archived list instead of the newest 50, CSV export and account monitoring. Until then, one-off lookups stay free.
To save a post or thread that is still online, use the tool on the home page, unroll a Twitter thread to read it as one page, or keep it as a file with thread to PDF and tweet to PDF.
No account, no login, no upload. Xtracticle fetches the public post on demand through the open-source FxTwitter API and builds your file in your browser. We don't store the posts you extract. We use Google Analytics to count anonymous visits and downloads so we know which features matter. The source code is on GitHub.
Type their @username or paste their profile link into Xtracticle and press Extract. It lists the posts of that account archived on the Wayback Machine, with a link to each snapshot. Deleted posts appear only if someone archived them before they were deleted.
No. Once a post is deleted, X stops serving it. If nobody archived it first, there is no copy left for any tool to show.
No, because X does not report deletions. Press Try live post on an entry: if it opens, the post is still online; if it is not found, it was deleted or the account is private.
Yes. It is free, needs no login and never asks you to connect your X account.
Yes. Paste the post link instead of the profile. If X no longer serves it, Xtracticle offers one-click searches for that post on the Wayback Machine and archive.today.
No. Protected posts were never public, so they can’t be read and archives normally don’t have them.
