Convert an X post, thread, Article, or profile
- Paste a public post link, any post from a thread, an X Article link, or a profile link.
- Choose which posts to include and whether to keep the counts, then select Convert.
- Copy the Markdown, download it, save a PDF, or copy it for ChatGPT or Claude.
Copying text straight from X drops the thread order, links, and images, and picks up buttons and counts you did not want. The converter returns one tidy document with the author, date, and a source link for every post, so you can cite it later.
Whole threads, single posts, or the replies too
Whole thread is the default. Paste any post from a thread and the converter finds the author's posts and numbers them in order, so you do not need the first post. This post only converts just the link you pasted. Thread and replies adds the replies below the post, which helps when the best detail is in the discussion.
Quoted posts, images, link cards, polls, and community notes stay with the post they belong to. The free converter returns up to 20 posts per conversion and says so when a result stops there.
X Articles keep their structure
X Articles are long-form posts with headings, lists, links, images, quotes, and code. The converter turns each of these into real Markdown, so an Article reads as a proper document instead of a flattened wall of text.
Profiles as one Markdown file
Paste a profile link such as x.com/paulg to get the account's name, bio, website, joined date, and public totals, followed by up to 20 of its recent original posts. Reposts and replies are left out so the file holds what the account wrote.
Markdown for notes, Obsidian for your vault
Use the format menu above the result to switch between Plain Markdown and Obsidian without converting again. The Obsidian version adds YAML frontmatter with the title, source, author, handle, publish date, post count, and tags, so the note sorts and searches well in your vault. Preview shows the rendered document before you copy it.
Use Counts to keep reply, repost, quote, like, bookmark, and view counts on every post, on the first post only, or leave them out. Turn off Include author details to drop the author's bio, follower counts, and website when you only want the posts.
Hand a thread to ChatGPT or Claude
Most AI assistants cannot open X links. Copy for ChatGPT and Copy for Claude copy the full Markdown with a short prompt that asks the model to read it and wait for your question, then link to a new chat. Paste it in and ask for a summary, a blog draft, or the claims that need a source.
To save the posts you want to keep in one searchable library that your AI tools can read, sync your X bookmarks to Keep.
