Posted under Off Topic

I have a program (actually, an extensions for Google Chrome) that can download Twitter pictures except TwitPic pictures. Is there any program that can downloade TwitPic pictures?

A website that allowed users to post pictures to Twitter before Twitter introduced their own. Nowadays, their images are still there on Twitter, but their website don't exist anymore, so it's hard to save pictures nowadays. Not helped by the fact that Twitter doesn't have the usual pagination like e621 did so you have to spend more times scrolling through endless pages without bookmarks or anything until you reach the end.

The program I've currently use can only download Twitter pictures, not TwitPic pictures. I'm trying to find a program that can download TwitPic pictures, but I can't seems to find anything that works.

Here's the website for a program I've currently use.

Can you give us a page to a Twitter post with a twitpic image?

It's because it's not a picture but a link instead.
Twitter just shows you a preview (of links).

Well, it's more of a link to a picture, but still.

If you want to see what happened to TwitPic, here's the link.

Probably the easiest to find since not much recent pictures posted.

I just click it and I'm being brought to page with image embedded, where I can simply right click and save like I would with any image.

Twitpic is so old and already years discontinued service, so information about it has been somewhat buried and last ability to do anything in there was 2017. It is possible that there are way to get better versions of the images, but at least what I found and tried simply redirect back to twitpics front page which states that service has archived. (/show/full/ID and /ID/full)

Also no idea why you would want browser extension for downloading twitter stuff specifically. Twitter images can also be just opened in new tab, write :orig at the end and right click -> download.

I used browser extension because saving pictures manually can be tedious and sometimes long. The fact that I have a slow internet connection didn't help.
