Filter Twitter/X Posts by Content Type and Media
Redact doesn't only delete tweets. Retweets, replies, quote tweets, X Articles, and likes are all first-class, and you choose which to wipe and which to keep in a single click. Layer media filters on top to target posts by what they contain: images, videos, or links.
Free for your last 30 days of tweets, replies & likes.

Media posts carry the most exposure
Photos and videos leak more than text does, and they're buried across years of timeline where you'll never scroll to them. Targeting by type and media lets you remove the riskiest posts without losing the account you want to keep.
Keep what works, drop the rest
Remove only retweets, only replies, or only old media while protecting your best originals and every X Article you've published. One pass, no collateral damage.
Images carry hidden personal data
Old photo tweets capture faces, locations, and routines you'd rather not leave public. Removing them in bulk shrinks the profile a stranger can build from your account.
Your video is AI training material
If a video features you, your likeness can be pulled into models that generate video. Clearing old video posts limits what can be scraped.
Find what you never could manually
X gives you no way to list every post with a video, or every retweet with a link. Redact does, then deletes the whole set at once instead of one tap at a time.
Filter by content type and media
Most cleanup tools treat your account as one undifferentiated pile of tweets. Redact doesn't. Pick exactly which content types to remove, then narrow further by what each post contains. The two filters stack, so you can be as broad or as surgical as you want.
Delete only your retweets and keep every original. Clear every quote tweet. Keep every X Article you've published while wiping the rest. Then layer media on top: wipe every video tweet from 2020, or delete only retweets that contain external links. Your deletions run locally on your device, with a preview before anything is removed.

Delete only posts with attached photos, or keep them while wiping the rest.
Video
Target every post carrying video, the highest-exposure media on your account.
Link
Clear posts that contain external links, down to specific domains.
Content type
Tweets, retweets, quote tweets, replies, X Articles, or likes, in any mix.
Date range
Combine with Before, After, Between, or All Time to scope by era.
Preserve lists
Whitelist accounts, hashtags, and phrases so safe posts always survive.
