How to Install the OpenTweet Chrome Extension
Last updated: April 17, 2026
The OpenTweet Chrome extension adds Save and Screenshot buttons to every tweet on X (twitter.com), letting you capture inspiration and create styled screenshots without leaving the platform.
How do I install the extension?
Go to opentweet.io/features/chrome-extension and click 'Add to Chrome'. You'll be directed to the Chrome Web Store. Click 'Add to Chrome', confirm the installation in the popup, and the OpenTweet icon will appear in your browser toolbar. Click the toolbar icon and log in with your OpenTweet credentials to activate the extension.
What does the extension add to X?
Once installed and logged in, the OpenTweet extension automatically adds two buttons to every tweet on x.com: a Save button that sends the tweet to your Inspiration library with full metadata, and a Screenshot button that sends the tweet data to the OpenTweet Screenshots editor for custom styling and download. No copy-pasting or manual data entry is needed.
What data does the extension capture?
When you click the Save button, the extension captures the complete tweet: full text, author name, username, avatar URL, verified status, publication date, tweet URL, any attached media, and engagement metrics (likes, retweets, replies, views). All data is stored in your OpenTweet Inspiration library under the 'From Extension' filter and is visible on each saved tweet card.
What browsers are supported?
The OpenTweet extension works in Google Chrome and all Chromium-based browsers: Brave, Microsoft Edge, Arc, and Vivaldi. It does not support Firefox or Safari. Install it from the Chrome Web Store — Chromium-based browsers can use Chrome Web Store extensions directly.
