Browser helper
Platforms sometimes limit how often our server may ask for posts. When that happens, the browser helper lets your own browser collect a public post and hand it to us, so you can still download it.
Works with public posts on X and Bluesky.
Public posts only
Before handing anything over, the helper asks the platform for the post without your cookies, exactly like a logged-out visitor. If a logged-out visitor can't see the post, the helper stops. It never reads or sends your login, cookies or account data.
Browser extension for Chrome, Edge and Firefox
The most complete option, and the only one that can save X videos. Open a post and click the PastePull button in your browser's toolbar.
The extension is in store review. Until it's listed, use the bookmark button below.
It can only read the tab you click it on, it only contacts the platforms' public endpoints, and it contains no remote code.
Bookmark button, no install
Works in computer browsers. On X it saves photos and GIFs; X videos need the extension.
- Show your bookmarks bar: Ctrl+Shift+B, or ⌘+Shift+B on a Mac.
- Drag the button below onto your bookmarks bar.
- Open a public post and click the bookmark. PastePull opens in a new tab with the post ready to download.
Drag this button to your bookmarks bar instead of clicking it.
On iPhone or iPad: bookmark any page in Safari, edit the bookmark, and paste the code as its address.
