Xposter helps you move your work from your computer to X Articles. You write your content in Markdown files on your machine. This tool imports these drafts directly into the X editor. You save time by avoiding copy and paste operations. It works as a Chrome extension. It follows the modern Manifest V3 standard required by Google Chrome.
Ensure your computer has the following items before you start:
- A Windows 10 or Windows 11 computer.
- The Google Chrome web browser.
- A stable internet connection.
- At least 50 MB of free disk space.
Follow these steps to get the extension files on your machine:
- Visit the official releases page.
- Look for the section marked Latest.
- Click the zip file link that ends in .zip under the Assets list.
- Save the file to your Downloads folder.
- Right-click the downloaded file and select Extract All.
- Choose a folder on your desktop to store these files.
Chrome requires a specific mode to run extensions you download outside the official store. Follow these steps to prepare your browser:
- Open Chrome.
- Type
chrome://extensionsin the address bar and press Enter. - Find the switch labeled Developer mode in the top right corner.
- Toggle this switch to the On position.
- Click the button labeled Load unpacked in the top left corner.

The xposter icon now appears in your browser toolbar.
You perform your publishing tasks through the browser interface. Open the extension to begin:
- Click the xposter icon in your Chrome toolbar.
- A small window opens showing your import options.

- Check the preview window to verify your text and formatting.
- Click the Publish button to send your draft to the X Articles editor.

No. The extension processes your file locally on your computer. It does not upload your content to a third-party server.
The extension supports standard Markdown. This includes headers, bullet points, bold text, and links. It handles these elements to ensure they match the X formatting rules.
When a new version exists, return to the download page. Download the new zip file. Extract the files and replace your old folder. Go to the extensions page in Chrome and click the Refresh icon on the xposter card.
The extension works on browsers built on the Chrome engine, such as Microsoft Edge or Brave. You enable developer mode in those browsers using similar steps as documented above.
Check that your Markdown file is valid. Ensure your internet connection stays active during the transfer. If the issue persists, restart your browser and try the import again.
- Use clear headers in your Markdown files. These help the extension categorize your post structure.
- Include a short summary at the start of your document.
- Check your file naming convention. Keep names short and avoid special symbols in the file path.
- Organize your images in the same folder as your document to maintain smooth imports.
- Test your draft with a small file before attempting to import a long article.
The extension requests specific permissions to function. It needs access to your local files to read your Markdown content. It also needs access to the X website to place your text into the editor. It never monitors your browsing habits or collects your personal data. Everything happens inside your browser. All your login sessions and account details remain secure on the X platform. The extension serves only as a bridge between your local computer and the web browser.
