Can I download from a protected account?

No. Protected posts require an approved follower session, which we never use.

Does a GIF in a post download as a GIF?

X converts uploaded GIFs to silent MP4 video, so the source is normally a video file rather than a true GIF.

Why did my link stop working?

The post may have been deleted, made private, or the account may have been suspended.

Do you store the videos I download?

No. Files are processed temporarily and deleted automatically once the download link expires, normally within 15 to 30 minutes. Nothing is kept in a permanent library.

X (Twitter) Video Downloader

Paste a link to a public X post containing a video. Posts from protected accounts are never supported.

By continuing, you confirm that you own this media, have permission to download it or are otherwise legally authorised to use it.

How to use it

1
Open the post on X, tap the share icon and choose Copy link.
2
Paste the link above and confirm you are authorised to download the video.
3
Choose a format and download it.

Supported link formats

https://x.com/username/status/1234567890123456789
https://twitter.com/username/status/1234567890123456789

x.com and twitter.com both work

Both hostnames refer to the same posts and are recognised identically. A t.co short link also resolves, as long as it ends at a public post.

Posts with several videos

When a post contains more than one video, each is a separate media item. The analysis step reports what it finds at the link you supply.
