Use desktop Chrome or Firefox to import.

Chrome extensionFirefox extension

You need desktop Chrome and an X account.

1. Create your library

Create an account or sign in. Confirm your email if prompted.

2. Install in Chrome

Add Likes Library to Chrome, then open it from Chrome’s extensions menu.

Install manually instead

Download the Chrome extension and extract the ZIP into a folder you will keep.

Open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, click Load unpacked, and select that folder. Open Likes Library from Chrome’s extensions menu.

3. Connect once

Sign in at x.com and leave the tab open. Open Likes Library from Chrome’s extensions menu and click Connect my account. Allow access when asked.

Check that the website and extension show the same code, then click Approve connection.

4. Import your likes

Return to the extension and click Import my likes. Keep Chrome open and the X import tab visible while it runs. Your posts appear in your library automatically.

Need help?

Update the extension

Download version 1.5.2, replace the files in the folder you originally loaded, and click Reload beside Likes Library at chrome://extensions.

My X account wasn’t found

Sign in to X in the same Chrome profile, then click Use my signed-in X account in the extension. You can also enter your handle under Account and capture settings.

The import paused

Click Open / resume import and keep the X tab visible. If you closed it, click Import my likes again. Saved posts won’t be duplicated.

If you reached the free limit, choose Subscription in Settings. View plans.

Some likes or text are missing

X may not make older or deleted posts available. An archive can help fill gaps. See the missing likes guide.

Save new likes

Keep capture enabled to save new likes made in this browser, within your import allowance. Run another import to collect likes made elsewhere.

Upload an X archive instead

You can import likes and your own posts directly from an archive you request from X. No extension is needed.

  1. On X, open More → Settings and privacy → Your account → Download an archive of your data.
  2. Confirm your password and identity, then choose Request archive. X will notify you when it is ready; this can take a few days.
  3. Download the ZIP from X and extract it on your computer. Open the extracted data folder.
  4. For liked posts, select like.js (or the similarly named like files). For posts you wrote, select tweets.js or tweet.js. If X split the data into several files, select all the relevant parts.
  5. In My dashboard → Settings → Import & sync → Upload your X archive, choose those .js files. Upload the extracted files, not the whole ZIP. Likes Library JSON exports also work.

Repeated posts are merged, so you can safely select the same files again to resume. Archives may omit older likes, author details, or full text; importing can only save what X includes.
