How to Download Twitter/X Videos Free

Twitter (now X) is home to tons of viral videos, breaking news clips, sports highlights, and entertaining content. But unlike other platforms, Twitter doesn't have a built-in download button. So what do you do when you want to save a video to watch offline or share elsewhere?

That's where our Twitter Video Downloader comes in. It lets you save any video from Twitter or X.com directly to your device—completely free, no account login needed, and works on any device.

How to Download Twitter Videos - Step by Step

Step 1: Find the Tweet with the Video

Open Twitter (or X) on your phone app or browser. Navigate to the tweet containing the video you want to download.

Step 2: Copy the Tweet Link

There are several ways to get the tweet URL:

• On Mobile App: Tap the share icon (arrow) below the tweet, then tap "Copy link"
• On Desktop: Click the share icon and select "Copy link to Tweet", or just copy the URL from your browser's address bar
• From Tweet Menu: Click the three dots (•••) on the tweet and select "Copy link to Tweet"

Your link should look like: https://twitter.com/username/status/1234567890 or https://x.com/username/status/1234567890

Step 3: Paste the Link

Go to our Twitter Video Downloader and paste the tweet URL into the input field. You can click the clipboard icon to paste automatically.

Step 4: Click Download

Hit the Download button and wait a few seconds while we process your request. You'll see a progress indicator showing the current status.

Step 5: Choose Quality and Save

Once processing is complete, you'll see available download options:

• HD Quality (720p/1080p): Best quality for larger screens
• SD Quality (480p/360p): Smaller file size, good for mobile
• Audio Only: Extract just the audio track from the video

Click download on your preferred option and the video saves to your device.

Understanding Video Quality Options

Twitter typically provides videos in multiple quality levels:

Tip: The available qualities depend on what the original uploader provided. Not all videos have HD options.

Tips for the Best Experience

Right-Click to Save

If clicking download opens the video in your browser instead of saving it, right-click the download button (long-press on mobile) and select "Save link as..." to download directly.

Use the Copy Link Feature

Each download option has a copy button. Use it to copy the direct video URL if you want to use a download manager or share the link.

Private Accounts

Videos from private/protected accounts cannot be downloaded. The account owner would need to make their tweets public or share the video with you directly.

Deleted Videos

If the original tweet has been deleted, the video is no longer available for download. Act fast if you see something you want to save!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this free to use?

Yes, 100% free! No registration, no subscription, no hidden fees. Just paste your link and download.

Do I need a Twitter/X account?

No! You don't need to log in or connect any account. Our tool works independently—just paste any public tweet link.

What devices are supported?

Any device with a web browser: iPhone, Android, iPad, Windows, Mac, Linux, Chromebook. If you can browse the web, you can use our tool.

Can I download GIFs from Twitter?

Yes! Twitter GIFs are actually short video files (MP4), and our tool downloads them as videos which you can then convert to GIF format if needed.

Why is the video quality lower than expected?

Video quality depends on how the original uploader shared the video. Twitter compresses videos during upload, so the download quality reflects what's available on Twitter's servers.

Can I download videos from Twitter Spaces?

Twitter Spaces audio recordings can sometimes be downloaded after the Space ends, but live Spaces are not supported.

Legal and Ethical Considerations

While downloading Twitter videos is technically straightforward, please keep these points in mind:

• Personal Use: Downloading for personal offline viewing is generally acceptable
• Credit Creators: Always credit the original creator when sharing their content
• No Re-uploading: Don't upload someone else's video as your own content
• Copyright: Respect copyright—don't use videos commercially without permission
• News & Journalism: Fair use may apply, but always verify
