Tweeten 3.0: Save GIFs, Drag and Drop, Copy URLs, and more!
Hey everyone,
Today, I am really excited to announce Tweeten 3.0 for Windows and macOS. Today’s update adds a bunch of new features which we have received a tonne of requests for. We have been working really hard on these new features, and we hope you’ll like it.
Save GIFs and images
With Tweeten 3.0, we are adding the ability to save GIFs….as .gif. This is a feature which you can’t get on TweetDeck, or any other major third-party Twitter clients.
Tweeten will allow you to save GIFs while retaining its quality, which is very handy as it’s quite hard to download GIFs on Twitter.
GIF saving is a feature which requires a lot of things as Twitter stores GIFs as .mp4 on their servers. Therefore, when you save a GIF using Tweeten, it may take a little while for it to download — based on the GIF’s size and quality. When you download a GIF using Tweeten, you will get a dialog saying that the download has started and you can continue browsing your timeline while the GIF gets processed in the background. Quite handy, right?
Alongside GIFs, you can also save static images with Tweeten 3.0. Unlike GIFs, saving static images is instant just like you’d expect it to be.
Drag and Drop
Another major feature that we are adding with Tweeten 3.0 is the new Drag and Drop feature. With Drag and Drop, you will easily be able to drag and upload a static image or GIF to Twitter. We got a tonne of requests for this feature over the past couple of months, and we are really excited to announce that it is now available for Windows and macOS with the latest update.
Copy URLs
With the latest update, we are also adding the ability to copy URLs to your clipboard. This is another handy feature which a lot of you have asked us to add. With the update, you will be able to copy URLs to a tweet, the links on a tweet, links to user profile’s (from @mentions), and much more. Alongside copying the “regular” links, you can also copy image URLs to your clipboard which is also pretty useful when you want to share an image with someone who isn’t on Twitter.
…and more
Tweeten 3.0 is undoubtedly the biggest update we have ever released. Alongside the above three features, we have added some other tiny new improvements and bug fixes. Here is the changelog:
- Firstly, there’s a new font for Tweeten on macOS which looks a lot nicer than the previous one.
- The Settings window (finally) closes by itself when you click “Save Settings”
- We have added support for TweetDeck’s native polls (you can only view the results for now)
- We have fixed the overlay issue for videos and GIFs
- We have fixed a bunch of other UI issues and optimized some parts of the app with Tweeten 3.0.

We really hope you like the latest update for Tweeten. Of course, this is just a beta release and bugs are expected — so, if you notice any bugs, please make sure to let us know here. We have a bunch of exciting things planned for the upcoming updates, including native update support which will be a major addition to Tweeten.
Thanks for all the support and love :)
