At a glance
Features
X has no button to save an Article or a thread as a file. X Article to PDF adds one: no screenshots, no copy-pasting, no print dialog.
Real PDF
X Article to PDF puts its icon in the post’s action bar, next to Bookmark and Share. One click turns an X Article or a Twitter thread into a PDF with selectable, searchable text and images at their original resolution — generated in the background and saved straight to your Downloads folder.
Markdown
Grok Markdown is an optional AI rewrite through your signed-in X account with Grok access. Direct PDF, Markdown and HTML exports work without Grok.
Offline archive
Export a self-contained HTML file with every image inlined, so a saved X Article still opens after the original post is deleted. Every export also leaves a self-contained copy in a local archive on your own device, where you can search it and reopen it later.
About
X Article to PDF is a free browser extension for Chrome and Edge that saves long posts from X, formerly Twitter, as files you can keep. X Articles and threads are easy to lose: bookmarks break when a post is deleted, screenshots cannot be searched, and the browser's print dialog cuts long posts into a mess of timeline fragments. X Article to PDF adds a red PDF icon to the post itself, and one click saves a clean PDF with searchable text and full-resolution images straight to your Downloads folder.
It also works as a Twitter to PDF converter for an author’s thread. It uses the posts X makes available, in thread order. You can also export plain Markdown or save HTML for offline reading. Thread exports cover available posts by the thread’s author. Replies by other accounts and posts you cannot access are outside this scope.
Everything happens locally in your browser: no account, no servers and no tracking. Read our guide on how to save a Twitter thread as PDF or how to convert a Twitter thread to Markdown.
Privacy
No account, no servers, no analytics, no tracking. Every PDF, Markdown and HTML export is created locally in your browser.
Exports and the optional archive stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded to us.
There is no account to create and no personal data to hand over.

How it works
Add it to Chrome or Edge from the Chrome Web Store. It’s free.
Open an X Article, or a post the author continued as a thread. A red PDF icon appears in its action bar. Reload the thread after installing so the extension can read the posts delivered by X. If it falls back to reading the page, the export can be partial.
Left-click for a PDF, or right-click for Markdown, HTML or Grok Markdown. The file lands in your Downloads folder.
Thread exports cover available posts by the thread’s author. Replies by other accounts and posts you cannot access are outside this scope.
Export an author’s thread to PDFFAQ
X Article to PDF is a free Chrome extension that saves X (Twitter) Articles and threads as PDF files with searchable text and full-resolution images. It can also export Markdown and self-contained HTML, and rewrite a long thread into a Markdown article with Grok.
Yes. It is completely free and open source, with no account, no export limits and no watermark.
No. X lets you bookmark or share a post, but it has no option to download an X Article or a thread as a file. X Article to PDF adds that: one click saves it as PDF, Markdown or self-contained HTML on your computer, and your copy stays readable even if the original post is deleted.
Thread exports cover available posts by the thread’s author. Replies by other accounts and posts you cannot access are outside this scope. Reload the thread after installing so the extension can read the posts delivered by X. If it falls back to reading the page, the export can be partial.
Yes. X Article to PDF creates a real PDF with vector text, not a screenshot, so you can search, select and copy it. Images keep their original resolution.
Grok Markdown is an optional AI rewrite through your signed-in X account with Grok access. Direct PDF, Markdown and HTML exports work without Grok.
That is how the extension renders a real PDF without a print dialog: it uses Chrome’s debugger API to print the page to PDF in a background tab. Chrome always shows this notice while it runs, and it disappears when the export is done.
Yes. It runs entirely in your browser: no servers, no analytics and no tracking. The only feature that sends content anywhere is Grok Markdown, which sends the thread’s text to X’s own Grok in your own account.
Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, and other Chromium-based browsers such as Brave and Opera. Mobile browsers do not support extensions.
Guides
Thread exports cover available posts by the thread’s author. Replies by other accounts and posts you cannot access are outside this scope. Reload the thread after installing so the extension can read the posts delivered by X. If it falls back to reading the page, the export can be partial.
