X Articles (long-form posts up to 100,000 characters) are converted block by block: headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, links, bullet and numbered lists, quotes, code, dividers, cover image, inline images, videos and embedded posts.
Threads are unrolled automatically. Paste the first, a middle or the last post — Xtracticle finds the whole self-thread and merges it into one numbered document. Try the X thread downloader.
Single posts keep their text, line breaks, photos, videos and quoted posts. Need many at once? Switch to Batch mode and paste up to 20 links to get one ZIP.
On any post, change x.com to xtracticle.com in the address bar and press Enter: x.com/user/status/123 → xtracticle.com/user/status/123. The post opens here, ready to download.
Drag this button to your bookmarks bar, then click it while reading any X post: ⬇ Xtracticle
On Android you can also install Xtracticle (Add to Home screen) and share posts to it straight from the X app.
Add the Xtracticle shortcut to the Shortcuts app, then in the X app tap Share → Xtracticle. Run from the Home Screen, it opens the link on your clipboard.
