X (Twitter) video downloaders save videos from posts on X to your device, typically by pasting the post's link. Common uses include keeping your own videos, saving clips for offline viewing or reference, and archiving, always with respect for the rights of the original creators and X's terms of service.

How X video downloaders work

You copy the link to a public post containing a video and paste it into the tool, which extracts and downloads the video file, often with quality options. They work with publicly visible posts; downloading others' copyrighted videos for reuse or redistribution raises permission and legal questions worth weighing before saving.

X downloads in context

These tools sit alongside other Facebook and TikTok downloaders, and to capture just the audio, see video to MP3. Download responsibly and respect content ownership.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I download a video from X (Twitter)?▾
Use the Share menu on the post to copy its link, then paste it into a tool such as SaveTweetVid, TwitterVideoDownloader, or cobalt.tools and pick a resolution. The open-source yt-dlp also downloads X videos at full quality. Only public posts work; anything from a protected account is out of reach.
Can I pick the video quality when downloading from X?▾
Yes, when more than one exists. X stores several renditions of a video, and most downloaders list the available resolutions so you can choose the highest, typically up to 1080p or 720p depending on how it was uploaded. A low-resolution upload cannot be upscaled by any tool.
How do I save a GIF from X?▾
X does not actually host GIFs as GIF files, it stores them as short silent MP4 videos, so a downloader will usually hand you an MP4. If you specifically need the .gif format, use a tool that offers Convert to GIF, or download the MP4 and convert it with a free video-to-GIF tool afterward.
How do I save a video from a post on X?▾
Copy the link to the post containing the video, then paste that URL into an X video downloader, which retrieves the video file for you to save, often with a choice of quality. The post generally needs to be public for the tool to access it. This is a common way to keep a copy of a video for offline viewing or to save your own content. As with any downloader, avoid tools that ask for your login credentials, a legitimate one never needs your X password, and be mindful that saving others' videos for reuse involves copyright considerations. For your own posts, this simply lets you keep a local copy of content you created.
Can I download videos from X for commercial use?▾
Not without permission from the copyright holder. Videos posted on X are owned by their creators, and downloading someone else's video to use commercially, in marketing, a product, or any revenue-generating context, without their explicit permission infringes copyright and can have legal consequences. Personal, non-commercial saving of a public video sits in a grayer area but still may breach X's terms. If you need a video for commercial use, obtain a proper license or permission from the owner, or use content you created yourself or that is explicitly licensed for such use. Never assume that because a video is publicly viewable it is free to download and reuse commercially, ownership and copyright still apply, and commercial reuse is exactly where infringement is most serious.
Why won't a video download from X work?▾
Several reasons are possible. The post may be private or from a protected account, so the tool cannot access it. The link might be incorrect, or point to a post without a downloadable video (such as an embedded external link or a live stream). The specific downloader may not support the current format or a recent platform change, since these tools can break when the platform updates. Network issues or the tool being temporarily overloaded can also cause failures. Check that the post is public and contains an actual native video, copy the correct link, and try a different reputable downloader if one fails. Platform changes periodically disrupt these tools, so a tool that worked before may need an alternative.
