How to See Who Retweeted a Tweet

1

Copy the post’s link

(Share, then Copy link).

2

Paste it above.

The newest reposts come first, each with audience size and verification.

3

Find the amplifiers.

Sort by followers to see which reposts carried the post furthest, then download the list as CSV.

On X itself, open the post, tap the three dots and choose View post engagements, then Reposts. That requires a login, and the list has no follower counts or export.

Frequently Asked Questions

Paste the post’s link above. The viewer lists the accounts that reposted it, newest first, with their follower counts and verification. No login needed.

Can I see who retweeted my post?

Yes. Paste the link to your post. You’ll see the reposters and can sort them by audience size to find your biggest amplifiers.

Why are fewer retweeters listed than the repost count?

The first page shows the newest reposts, and more load through the API. X may also not list every repost publicly, for example reposts from protected accounts.

No. Quote posts carry their own commentary and are listed on the Quote Tweets page.

Can I see who liked a tweet?
