Redirect twimg image URLs to enforce name=orig for full-resolution images

Redirect twimg to :orig

A simple UserScript that automatically redirects Twitter image URLs to their full-resolution versions, ensuring you always get the highest quality images.

📜 Description

Twitter serves images with various quality parameters. This script intercepts such URLs and forces a redirect to the original, full-resolution version by appending or replacing the ?name with the value orig.

🚀 Features

Automatically redirects to full-resolution images

Works silently in the background

Lightweight and fast

Auto-updating with Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey support

📦 Installation

To use this script, you must have a UserScript manager like:

Tampermonkey (Recommended)

Violentmonkey

Click here to install directly:

👉 Install Redirect twimg to :orig

Or add it manually in your UserScript manager using this URL:

🔄 Auto-Update Support

This script includes @updateURL and @downloadURL metadata so it will automatically update when new versions are released.

🛠 How It Works

If the current image URL does not already have the value orig in the ?name= variable, the script will modify the URL accordingly. This will redirect the browser to the full-resolution version.
