Start with the link you have, check the returned text, and keep the original URL when you copy or save it.
Paste the source you already have
Open the Twitter Viewer, paste the handle or URL, and submit it. Use the handle rather than a display name when you want one particular account.
If someone sent a long tracking link, open or expand it to the final X URL first. For a specific post, use its `/status/` link so the result opens the post you mean.
| You want to read | Paste |
|---|---|
| A public profile | @NASA or https://x.com/NASA |
| One public post | https://x.com/handle/status/post-id |
| A thread | A status URL from the thread, then check which related posts were returned. |
| An X Article | The public article link; the result includes article text when available. |
Check the text and the original link
A post result groups the author, date, returned text, source URL, and available media. Read the whole returned passage before quoting it. For a thread or quoted post, check which speaker wrote each part.
A profile result can show identity, bio, profile media, and returned recent public posts. It is useful for checking an account; the original X profile link remains the place to return for account actions.
If you only remember a phrase or rough date, start with Advanced Search. The old-post guide has query examples for finding the direct URL.
Copy or save the result
Use Copy full text when you want the wording. For a note that includes the source details, open Export → Copy as Markdown or Download Markdown. PNG and PDF exports are available when you want a visual record.
Keep the original status URL with a quote or summary. The link helps you reopen the post even if you change readers later.
If you want ChatGPT to summarize the result, this source-reading guide shows what to paste. For choosing another reader, use the viewer comparison.
- For a research note, save the text and source URL as Markdown.
- For a visual reference, export PNG or PDF after checking the displayed content.
- For an attached photo or video, use the matching downloader when you need the file itself.
If the source cannot be read
Check the final URL and account handle first. If the viewer cannot retrieve the source, try opening that same link on X. A protected post requires an account authorized to read it; an unavailable post may need another public citation.
Without an X account, the supported task is public reading. Following, replying, liking, and account settings use an authenticated X session.
CarryFeed does not ask for your X password for this viewer. Here, no-login or anonymous viewing means reading without supplying X credentials; it is not a network-privacy service.
