About Tweet Preview for X (Twitter)
See exactly how your tweet will look on the timeline — before you post it.
Tweet Preview for X (Twitter) adds a live post preview right inside x.com. Open the
compose box and a "Preview" button appears next to the Post button. Click it and a
preview panel opens, updating with every keystroke: your real name, handle and avatar,
your text with links, @mentions, #hashtags and $cashtags highlighted, your attached
photos, videos, GIFs and polls — all rendered in X-style timeline layouts,
surrounded by real tweets you can interact with (likes, reposts, bookmarks, Show
more) so you see your post in context. Unlike web-based tweet
mockup generators, nothing to copy-paste and no login: it previews the tweet you are
actually writing, where you are writing it.
WHAT YOU GET
📱 Phone preview — an iPhone-style frame with true device proportions, so you see the
exact line breaks and image crop mobile followers will see
🖥️ Desktop preview — a browser-window mockup of the X web timeline
✍️ Live as you type — text, emoji, line breaks, links, mentions and hashtags update
instantly; up to four mixed photos, videos and GIFs appear the moment you add them
▶️ Playable video — muted video plays in place and stays mounted while you type; short
and GIF-like media loops while longer video follows X's non-looping behavior
🔢 Character counter — accurate weighted counting (URLs count as 23, emoji and CJK
count as 2) with X-style progress ring; Standard mode enforces 280 characters while
Premium mode previews posts up to 25,000 characters with working Show more/Show less
📊 Poll preview — options and poll duration appear inside the timeline card
🧵 Thread preview — composing a thread? Every tweet in it is stacked with the connector
line, just like the timeline
💬 Replies & quotes — reply previews include the "Replying to" line
🌗 Theme aware — Dark by default; matches or overrides X's Light / Dim / Lights-out
🪄 Your timeline, your context — swap the tweets shown around your preview by pasting
any tweet links; their author, avatar, text, images and counts are fetched on your
device and rendered in place
🎛️ On your terms — the panel opens only when you click Preview, can be dragged
anywhere, collapses to a pill, and every new compose box starts clean
PRIVACY FIRST
No account, no login, no analytics, no third-party servers. Everything runs locally in
your browser; the only network requests are to X's own public endpoints (to fetch
tweets you explicitly paste). Settings sync through your own Chrome profile.
WHO IT'S FOR
Creators, ghostwriters, social media managers, marketers, founders building in public —
anyone who wants to check a post's line breaks, image crop, link preview length or
character count before hitting Post, without a separate tweet mockup tool.
HOW TO USE
1. Install and pin the extension
2. Go to x.com and open the compose box (click Post, or press N)
3. Click the new "Preview" button next to the Post button
4. Type away — the preview updates live beside the composer
5. Toggle Phone/Desktop and theme in the panel header; configure posting limits and
defaults in the popup
