Turn a tweet into a Slack image
Slack's tweet unfurls broke when X restricted its embed APIs, so links now often render as a bare URL with no preview at all. Posting an image of the tweet is the reliable way to make it readable in a channel without asking everyone to click through.
Paste a link above to see the preview here.

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.
This page uses minimal padding and a lower render scale, because a Slack message renders the image small and inline: a huge file with a wide margin just wastes upload time and vertical space in the channel.
Questions
- Why do tweet links no longer preview in Slack?
- X restricted the embed APIs Slack relied on, so many links now show as plain text. An image sidesteps that entirely.
- Why is the resolution lower here?
- Slack displays inline images small. 2x is plenty and keeps the upload fast on a phone.
- Will the image work in Microsoft Teams too?
- Yes. It is an ordinary PNG, so any chat client that accepts image uploads will render it inline.
