What is a Twitter video downloader?
A Twitter video downloader saves the video from a post on X (the app that used to be called Twitter) to your phone or computer as an ordinary MP4 file. X only offers a download option to paying subscribers, and only on videos whose creator allows it, so for everyone else the easiest way to keep a clip is to save the file X stores for it. You paste the post's link, this tool reads the list of MP4 files X keeps for that post, and you pick which one to save. Nothing is re-encoded along the way, so you get the same MP4 that sits on X's servers.
How to download videos from X (Twitter)
- Copy the link: On the post, tap the share icon and choose “Copy link”. On a computer you can copy the address straight from your browser bar while the post is open.
- Paste it above: Drop the link into the box and press “Get video”. The clipboard icon inside the field pastes for you if you would rather not long-press.
- Choose a quality: X keeps several sizes of every video, often from 320p up to 1080p. The sharpest one is selected already, and smaller ones are there if you want a lighter file.
- Save the file: Press “Download MP4” and the video goes to your downloads folder. The cover image has its own button if you need a thumbnail too.
GIFs, multi-video posts, quoted posts and brand videos
A GIF on X is not really a GIF file. X converts it to a short silent MP4 when it is uploaded, so that is what this tool saves. It plays and loops in every video player, and it is much smaller than the original GIF would have been.
A single post can hold up to four clips. When it does, each one gets its own card with its own quality picker and download button. If you copied a link ending in /video/2, that clip is shown first. And when the post you paste is quoting someone else's video and has none of its own, the tool fetches the video from the quoted post and labels it that way.
Brand and promoted posts often wrap their video in a card with a website or app button underneath, sometimes as a carousel you swipe through. Those videos are read out of the card in the same way, one card per clip.
Which links work
X hands out slightly different links depending on where you copy them from. All of the usual shapes work, so there is nothing to tidy up first:
- Post links, such as x.com/username/status/1234567890
- Older twitter.com and mobile.twitter.com links
- Short t.co links copied from inside another post
- Links ending in /video/1 or carrying ?s= share parameters
- Embed-fixer links such as fxtwitter.com, vxtwitter.com and fixupx.com
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is this Twitter video downloader free?
Yes. There is no payment, no account and no daily limit on how many videos you save.
Does it work now that Twitter is called X?
Yes. x.com and twitter.com links point at the same posts, and both work here. Old links you saved before the rename still resolve.
What quality do I get?
The same quality X itself stores, up to the resolution the video was uploaded at. Most clips top out at 720p or 1080p, and some go higher. We list every size X has and preselect the largest, and we never compress or re-encode the file.
Is there a watermark on the downloaded video?
No. X does not stamp a logo on its videos, and we do not add one either. The file is the MP4 exactly as X stores it.
Do promoted and brand video posts work?
Yes. Brand posts often put their video inside a card with a website or app button underneath. The tool reads the video out of that card too, including carousels where you swipe between several clips.
Can I download videos from private or protected accounts?
No. Only public posts can be fetched. We never sign in to X on your behalf, so anything that needs an account stays out of reach.
Why does an age-restricted post fail?
X hides age-restricted posts from anyone who is not logged in, so there is no public file to fetch. The tool tells you that is the reason instead of a generic error.
Can I download live broadcasts or Spaces?
No. Live broadcasts are streamed in short pieces rather than stored as one file, and Spaces are audio-only, so neither can be saved here. Regular uploaded videos and GIFs both work.
Will the person who posted it know I saved it?
No. The download happens outside X, nothing is tied to your account, and no notification is sent.
Is it legal to download videos from X?
Saving your own posts, or videos you have permission to use, is fine. Videos belong to the people who made them, so do not repost or sell someone else's work without asking. This tool is meant for backups, offline viewing and personal reference.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. It runs in any browser on Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac and Windows, with nothing to install. On iPhone, Safari saves the file to the Files app, and you can move it into Photos from there.
