About ThreadGrab

Last updated: June 6, 2026

ThreadGrab is a free tool that helps you save, archive, and convert X (formerly Twitter) threads into clean, readable formats. Paste a thread URL, get back the full thread as Markdown, plain text, or a permanent archive link.

Who is it for

• Journalists — archive sources before they disappear or get deleted
• Researchers — build reproducible datasets from public conversations
• Content creators — turn threads into blog posts or newsletter issues
• Anyone who reads long threads — get a clean reading view without the algorithmic noise

What ThreadGrab does

• Extracts the full thread (original post + all replies) from any public X/Twitter URL
• Outputs in Markdown, plain text, or HTML — paste anywhere
• Generates a permanent archive link so the thread survives deletion
• Works without an X account (we use the public API)

What ThreadGrab doesn't do

• Access private or protected accounts (we can't, and we won't)
• Track you, sell your data, or show ads (see the privacy policy)
• Replace X — if you want to follow people in real time, use X. ThreadGrab is for the long-form threads worth saving.

Who built it

ThreadGrab is built by Jason Mai, a developer who kept losing access to important threads when authors deleted them. Read more on About.me.
