Turn a tweet into a Reddit image
Screenshots of tweets are a whole genre of Reddit post, and the ones that do well are legible in the feed thumbnail and free of browser chrome, sidebars and half-visible replies. Rebuilding the card gives you exactly the tweet and nothing else.

The card keeps the author's name, handle and timestamp so your export credits them. The post itself still belongs to whoever wrote it, so check you have the right to reuse it before you publish.
Many subreddits ban editorialised or cropped screenshots, so the default here keeps the timestamp and engagement figures visible: an unmodified-looking card is much less likely to be removed by a moderator.
Questions
- Why keep the timestamp and like counts?
- Many subreddits remove screenshots that look edited or cropped for effect. Leaving the metadata visible keeps the post verifiable.
- What background colour suits Reddit?
- #1a1a1b is Reddit's night-mode background, which is what most users see.
- Should I censor usernames?
- Many subreddits require it for non-public figures. This tool does not blur handles, so do that in an editor before posting if the rules demand it.
