Twitter (X) Video Downloader
X posts usually carry several MP4 renditions of the same clip. All of them are listed, so you can take the small one for a chat or the full-quality one for editing.
Videos and GIFs from X
- Every rendition the post carries, labelled with its resolution and estimated size.
- Animated GIFs are served by X as MP4 files; that is what you get.
- Audio only as MP3 for a clip you want to listen to.
How to save a video from X
- Open the post and copy its link —
x.com/user/status/…or the oldertwitter.comform. - Paste it above and press Grab.
- Pick a resolution. Higher numbers mean a sharper picture and a larger file.
Choosing a resolution
A two-minute 1080p clip can be tens of megabytes, while the 480p rendition of the same clip is a fraction of that. If you only need to see what happens in the video, take the smaller file; if you plan to re-edit it, take the largest.
What does not work
- Protected accounts. Posts only followers can see need a session, which this tool does not have.
- Spaces recordings are audio sessions rather than video posts and are not supported.
- Deleted posts. Once X stops serving the media there is nothing to fetch.
Frequently asked questions
Do old twitter.com links still work?
Yes. twitter.com and x.com addresses point at the same posts and are handled identically.
Can I download a GIF from X?
Yes — X stores animated GIFs as MP4, so you get an MP4 file that plays as a looping clip.
Why are there several files for one post?
X publishes the same clip at several resolutions. Each one is listed separately so you can choose between size and quality.
