X video downloader, formerly Twitter
Videos and GIFs attached to public posts on X, saved as clean MP4 files. Old twitter.com links work exactly the same as x.com ones.
Why people use it
Files stream straight to your device. We keep no copy of the video or the link.
No sign up, no email, no tracking pixel. Paste a link and save the file.
Every tool on the site is free to use, with no daily download cap.
We pick the highest stream the source offers, up to 4K where it exists.
One paste, one click. No queues, no waiting rooms, no forced ads between steps.
Runs in any modern browser on phone, tablet and desktop. Nothing to install.

What quality X actually serves
X serves video through an HLS ladder, so a single post can contain four renditions plus a still frame. Quality depends entirely on what the poster uploaded, since X re encodes anything above its own ceiling.
| Format | What to expect |
|---|---|
| MP4 1280x720 | The usual top rung for uploads from the web composer. |
| MP4 640x360 | The mobile rendition, small enough to text to someone. |
| GIF style loops as MP4 | X stores GIFs as silent MP4s, so that is what comes back. |
| MP3 audio | Only when the original post carried a sound track. |
X on mobile versus desktop
On your phone
- 1.Tap the share icon under the post, then Copy link.
- 2.Paste it above. Both x.com and twitter.com links resolve.
- 3.Pick the largest rendition unless you need a small file.
On a computer
- 1.Click the timestamp so the post opens on its own page, then copy the URL.
- 2.Paste it above and press Download.
- 3.Quote posts resolve to the quoted video when the outer post has no media of its own.
Why a X download sometimes fails
A protected account link fails
Protected posts require an approved follower session, so they cannot be reached from a logged out request.
The saved clip has no audio
X strips audio from GIF style uploads by design. If the original had none, the download cannot add it.
The resolution looks lower than on the timeline
X picks a rendition based on your player size. We take the highest available in the manifest, which is the ceiling the poster's upload allowed.
X Frequently asked questions
Do twitter.com links still work?
Yes, both x.com and twitter.com addresses point at the same post.
What happens with GIFs?
X stores GIFs as short silent videos, so you get an MP4 that loops the same way.
Can I save from a protected account?
No. Protected posts are only visible to approved followers, which needs a session.
Why are there several qualities?
X encodes each video at a few bitrates. The top one is the sharpest, the lower ones are smaller files.
Does the poster get notified?
No, nothing is sent to them.
Can I download a whole thread?
One post at a time, paste each link separately.
Do old twitter.com links still work?
Yes. Both domains point at the same post and both resolve here.
Can I save video from a thread with several clips?
Copy each post link separately, or drop the whole set into the bulk downloader.
