If you've been saving tweets on X (formerly Twitter), you already know how valuable those bookmarks are. But what happens when a tweet gets deleted, an account goes private, or Twitter changes its features? Your saved bookmarks could vanish overnight.
In this guide, we'll show you exactly how to save your Twitter bookmarks so you never lose access to the content you've curated.
Why You Need to Save Your Twitter Bookmarks
Twitter bookmarks are stored on Twitter's servers, which means:
- Deleted tweets disappear from your bookmarks — if the original author removes a tweet, it's gone from your saved collection too
- Suspended accounts take their content with them — when accounts are banned or deactivated, all their tweets vanish
- Platform changes can affect access — Twitter/X has been making rapid changes to features and APIs
- No built-in export — X doesn't provide a native way to download or back up your bookmarks
That's why saving a local copy of your Twitter bookmarks is essential for anyone who relies on bookmarked content for research, learning, or reference.
How to Save Twitter Bookmarks with BookmarkSave
The easiest way to save your X bookmarks is with the BookmarkSave Chrome extension. Here's how it works:
Step 1: Install the Extension
Visit the Chrome Web Store and click "Add to Chrome" to install BookmarkSave. It's 100% free with no account required.
Step 2: Go to Your X Bookmarks
Navigate to x.com/i/bookmarks in your browser. Make sure you're logged in to see your saved tweets.
Step 3: Open BookmarkSave and Export
Click the BookmarkSave icon in your browser toolbar. The extension will detect your bookmarks and let you choose your export format: PDF, CSV, Markdown, or TXT.
Step 4: Download Your File
Click "Export" and your bookmarks are saved to your computer. That's it — your tweets are now safely backed up offline.
Which Export Format Should You Choose?
- PDF — Best for reading and archiving. Preserves the visual layout of tweets.
- CSV — Perfect for spreadsheets and databases. Great for research and data analysis.
- Markdown (MD) — Ideal for note-taking apps like Obsidian, Notion, or Roam Research.
- TXT — Simple plain text backup. Works anywhere.
Tips for Keeping Your Bookmarks Organized
- Export regularly — Set a weekly or monthly reminder to save new bookmarks
- Use Smart Feed Cleanup — BookmarkSave can automatically un-bookmark tweets after export, keeping your feed tidy
- Organize by topic — Save exports into topic-specific folders on your computer
- Combine with note-taking — Use Markdown exports directly in your knowledge management system
Is It Safe to Save Twitter Bookmarks This Way?
BookmarkSave processes everything locally in your browser. Your bookmark data never leaves your device and is never sent to any server. The extension is privacy-first by design — we can't see your bookmarks even if we wanted to.
