What PostCopilot does

PostCopilot is a set of free tools for getting data out of Threads and X/Twitter, and for making content to put back into them. Neither platform gives creators a real export button: there is no "download my followers" link, no way to archive your own posts, and no official route to save a video you want to re-cut. Everything here exists to close one of those gaps, and everything here works on public data you could already see in your browser.

There are two ways to use it. The web tools run entirely on this site — paste a username or a link, wait a few seconds, download a file. Nothing to install, and no account needed to start. The Chrome extensions run on the Threads or X page you are already looking at, which means they work with your own logged-in session and can go deeper than an anonymous web request can. Most people start on the web and move to the extension once they need bigger exports.

Exporting followers and posts

The follower export is the tool people come back for. Give it any public handle and it walks the full follower or following list and hands you a spreadsheet: username, display name, bio, follower count, verified status, and profile URL for each account. The post exporter does the same for a profile's posts, capturing the text, timestamp, like and reply counts, and the media URLs. Both produce CSV or JSON — CSV opens straight in Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets, and JSON is there for anyone piping the data into a script.

On the free web tier you get 3 exports a day, capped at 20 posts or 100 followers per export, with one export file download per day. That is deliberately enough to answer "is this list worth having" before anyone asks you for money. The free Chrome extension is more generous for bulk work — 250 followers and 250 following per account, with no daily cap — because it runs on your machine and your session rather than on our servers. Paid plans lift the web limits to 10,000 items per export; the pricing page lays out exactly what changes.

Downloading videos and images

The Threads video downloader without watermark takes any public post link and returns the original MP4 exactly as Meta's CDN serves it — no re-encode, no quality loss, and no watermark burned over the top. Images come back as full-resolution JPGs. It handles both /post/ permalinks and the short /share/ links the mobile app produces, which is the format most people actually have in their clipboard. It cannot reach private accounts or posts that require a login, and it is not meant to: if you cannot see it signed out, neither can the tool.

Writing posts

The AI post generator drafts Threads posts from a topic or a rough idea, in a couple of different angles so you can pick rather than accept. The mockup maker is a different thing entirely — it renders a Threads-styled image for design comps, tutorials, and memes. It makes pictures, not posts; it cannot publish anything, and using it to impersonate a real person is against our terms.

Privacy, and what we do not keep

Web export results live in server memory for at most an hour, only so you can download the file you just made. They are never written to disk and are gone if the server restarts. Extension exports never reach us at all — the file is built in your browser and saved straight to your computer. We do not sell data, we do not build profiles from what you export, and we only ever touch information the platforms already publish publicly. The privacy policy covers this in full, including a section on data about people other than you.

Common questions

Do I need an account to export?

No. Every web tool works signed out, and no export asks for an email first. Signing in with Google only matters for tracking your own daily allowance and for paid plans.

Can I export a private account?

No. Every tool here works on public data only. If a profile is private, or a post requires a login to view, nothing on this site can reach it — by design, not by oversight.

What file formats do I get?

CSV and JSON. CSV opens directly in Excel, Numbers, or Google Sheets; JSON is the one to pick if you are feeding the data into code. Videos download as MP4 and images as JPG.

Why is the Chrome extension less limited than the website?

Because it runs on your computer, in your own logged-in session. The website has to do the work on our servers for every visitor at once, which costs real money and is why the free web tier is capped at 3 exports a day.

Is any of this affiliated with Meta or X?

No. PostCopilot is an independent project with no connection to Meta Platforms, Threads, or X Corp. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.

Is it legal to export this data?

The tools only retrieve information the platforms publish publicly. What you do with an export is your responsibility — if you handle data about people in the EU, UK, or California, laws like the GDPR and CCPA may apply to you as the party holding it. Our terms spell this out.
