Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about TwitterShots API.

What output formats are supported?
We support SVG, PNG, and HTML formats. SVG is the default and provides the best quality for web use. PNG is perfect for social media sharing and high-resolution prints. HTML output is useful for server-side rendering and email templates.
How does the vertical image layout work?
When you set mediaLayout=vertical, tweets with multiple images display them stacked vertically instead of in a grid. This creates a tall, portrait-style image perfect for mobile viewing and cross-posting to Instagram Stories.
Can I customize the screenshot appearance?
Yes! You can customize themes (light/dark), colors, aspect ratios, padding, border radius, and even add background images. Check our documentation for the full list of customization options.
Is there a rate limit?
Rate limits depend on your plan. Free tier includes 50 requests per month. Pro tier offers 1,000 requests per month. Business tier provides 10,000 requests per month. Contact us for custom high-volume plans.
What happens if a tweet is deleted?
This is exactly why TwitterShots exists. Once you generate a screenshot, you have a permanent copy of the tweet. If the original tweet is deleted, your screenshot remains accessible. We recommend generating screenshots immediately for content you want to preserve.
