Twitter Screenshots Extension

Capture high-resolution and beautiful screenshots of tweets with one click. Screenshots Guru adds a little camera icon to every tweet on the Twitter website (now X) for you to instantly screen capture the tweet and download as a PNG image.

Unlike most other screen capture tools, Screenshot Guru cleans the tweet of any distracting elements and what you get is a beautiful frame-worthy screenshot of the tweet.

Internally, it fetches the Tweet HTML using the oEmbed protocol, renders the tweet inside Headless Chrome, coverts the web page into a PNG Screenshot with Puppeteer running on the Google Cloud platform. Everything is automated and none of your data ever gets recorded or saved anywhere.

The APA Style recommends including the Tweet URL (or permalink) and only the date (and not the time) of the tweet in the citation.

Tomas Berezovskiy (ID: 000000f07240832a) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/25/2022 Very good! Here is another suggestion to activate the screenshot and take the screenshot itself with a keyboard combination. Thank you, in our time it is worth saving and not making unnecessary movements. Thanks again, good luck! Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Carabez (ID: 000000a89324769a) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/16/2022 El único inconveniente es que la FECHA de captura NO coincide con la hora local del dispositivo que hace la captura.

David W. (ID: 000000beccb15f5c) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 11/13/2022 Totally unecessary video intro in chrome webstore. Just use screenshots. Videos as last slide. Nice app.

Xander W (ID: 000000e553ef81e6) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/04/2022 Good but room for improvement. As other users have mentioned, showing the RT numbers would be good. If I am on someone's profile that RT'd something, I would like it to show "Soandso retweeted...." to include them. If I wanted it without that, I could go directly to the tweet.
