X (Twitter) video downloader
Save X (Twitter) videos as MP4, in the best quality X (Twitter) has. Nothing to install, and we keep no copy.
How it works
Copy the link
Open the post, tap Share, then Copy link. Links from x.com and twitter.com both work.
Paste it here
Paste the link in the box above and press Get video.
Save the file
Choose a quality. The file comes straight from X (Twitter) to your device.
Which X links work
Vidsaver needs the address of one post with a video in it, in one of these forms:
x.com/name/status/123…: a post on Xtwitter.com/name/status/123…: an old Twitter link, still finemobile.twitter.com/name/status/123…: a link from the old mobile sitex.com/name/status/123…/video/2: the second video of a post with several videos
Share links often end in ?s=20 or ?t=…. You do not need to remove that part.
On a computer, open the post so that it fills the page. Then copy the address from the browser bar.
Short t.co links do not work. Open the t.co link first, then copy the x.com address of the post.
The file you get, and posts that fail
The file
- MP4 files with sound, often in three sizes. Each button shows the file size in MB, so you can pick a small file on mobile data.
- A wide video we tested came as 720p, 360p and 180p.
- For a tall phone video, the number on the button is the height. So "1280p" on a tall video is 720 pixels wide: the same as 720p HD, turned on its side.
- A GIF on X comes as a short MP4 file, not as a .gif file. X stores GIFs as video.
- The address of an X file has no end time in it.
- X files often play in a new tab instead of saving. Then save the video from the player.
Posts that fail
- Protected posts. Posts from accounts with a lock icon are only for their followers.
- Posts with photos only. You see "We found no video at this link".
- Removed videos. You see "This video was removed or is not available."
- More than one video at a time. A plain post link gives the first video. Add
/video/2to the end of the link to get the second one.
X (Twitter) questions
Can I save X videos in 1080p or 4K?
You get every size that X has for that post. If X has a 1080p version, you see a 1080p button. Vidsaver cannot add a size that X does not have.
How do I save a GIF from X?
Copy the link of the post with the GIF and paste it here. You get an MP4 file, which plays like any short video.
Does it work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Tap Share on the post, then Copy link, and paste it here in Safari or Chrome. You do not need an X account or an app.
Can I get the sound of an X video as MP3?
No. The sound is inside the MP4 file, but Vidsaver does not turn videos into MP3.
Questions
Which X (Twitter) videos work?
Videos and GIFs in public posts work. GIFs are saved as MP4 files. Posts from protected accounts do not.
Is there a watermark?
Vidsaver adds none. It does not edit the video. You get the file as X (Twitter) serves it.
Which quality do I get?
Vidsaver lists every quality X (Twitter) offers for the video, best first.
Why does it say the video is not public?
X (Twitter) shows some videos only to logged-in users. Vidsaver can only get public videos.
Does Vidsaver keep the video or my link?
No. We do not store videos. We do not keep the links you paste. See the privacy policy.
Can I download any video?
Save only your own videos, or videos you have the right to save. Respect the creator's copyright and the terms.
