PostCapture is a web-based tool that transforms links from social media platforms (X, Bluesky, TikTok, YouTube) into polished, customizable screenshots, eliminating the need for manual editing.
What is PostCapture?
PostCapture is a web-based screenshot generator that accepts URLs from X (formerly Twitter), Bluesky, TikTok, and YouTube (including Shorts) and outputs high-resolution images with customizable themes and backgrounds. It runs entirely in the browser with no software installation required. The tool was created by PostCapture (no founder named on site).
Key Features
- Customizable backgrounds — solid colors, gradients, patterns, dotted, or transparent, plus no background option.
- Light and dark themes — switch themes to match your brand, with all elements designed for both modes.
- Thread support — automatically detects and captures entire X and Bluesky conversations in one image, including replies, quoted posts, and media.
- Engagement metrics — optionally include like, repost, and reply counts on screenshots.
- No watermarks — all paid plans (credit packs and monthly subscription) remove watermarks from generated images.
- Scale factor up to 4x — paid users can generate images at 4x resolution; free users are limited to 2x.
- One-click capture — paste any supported URL and get a screenshot in seconds; thread capture counts each post as separate credits.
- API access — credit packs and monthly subscriptions include API access for automated workflows.
Who is it for?
- Social media managers — quickly create professional-looking posts for client reports or social feeds without manual editing.
- Content creators — capture viral moments, threads, or video screenshots to share across platforms with consistent branding.
- Marketers and brands — maintain a polished, uniform look for social media evidence or campaign screenshots.
- Journalists and analysts — screenshot important tweets, Bluesky posts, or YouTube content with clean formatting and full context.
How does PostCapture work?
The process takes under 30 seconds: copy a post URL from X, Bluesky, TikTok, or YouTube; paste it into the PostCapture dashboard; customize the screenshot using theme, background, scale, and optional engagement metrics; then download or copy the generated image. Each action (loading a post and generating a screenshot) consumes credits. Re-downloading previously generated images is free.
