X (Twitter) Video Downloader

1. Open the post. Find the post with the video in the X app or on x.com.
2. Copy the link. Tap the share icon under the post, then Copy link.
3. Paste and pick. Paste the link above and press Download. Choose a size and press Save.

X stores most videos in several sizes. In our test, one public post offered three:

That's why sizes on this page start with ~. X gives an estimate before the file is made, and the real file is often smaller. It's rarely bigger.

Some posts, especially older ones, only have one or two sizes. You'll always see the real list for the post you paste.

X doesn't keep GIFs as real GIF files. It turns them into short silent videos. SnapFrom saves them the same way, as MP4 files.

MP4 files are much smaller than GIFs and look better. They play on any phone or computer. To post one as a GIF somewhere else, use a converter app or the site's own upload tool.

• x.com links, like x.com/username/status/…
• Old twitter.com links, like twitter.com/username/status/…
• Links copied from the X app on any phone

Links to a profile or a search page won't work. Copy the link of the post that contains the video.

Posts that anyone can see without logging in. Some posts can't be saved:

• Posts from protected accounts (the ones with a lock icon)
• Posts that X hides behind a login or a sensitive-content warning
• Deleted posts
• Spaces and live broadcasts

If a post has more than one video, SnapFrom saves the first one.

When someone quotes a post that has a video, the video belongs to the original post. Open the quoted post first, then copy its own link. Pasting the quote's link may not find the video.

In a thread, each post has its own link. Copy the link of the exact post with the video you want.

On x.com, click the post so it opens on its own page. Then copy the address from the top of your browser. It should end with /status/ and a long number. Paste it here and choose a size. The file goes to your downloads folder.

You can also click the share icon under the post and choose Copy link. Both give the same result.

Posts on X are often deleted, edited or hidden later. People save clips from news events, sports highlights, tutorials and their own posts so they can watch them again. Saved files play offline and don't depend on the post staying online.

If you plan to share a video elsewhere, credit the original account and ask first when you can.

Long videos on X can be large at 720p. If you only want to watch on your phone, 360p usually looks fine and saves both time and storage.

• iPhone and iPad: the Files app, under Downloads. Open it, tap Share, then Save Video to add it to Photos.
• Android: the Download folder in your file manager.
• Windows and Mac: your downloads folder.

• "Private or needs a login": the account is protected, or X now asks for a login to view that post.
• "Can't be found": the post was deleted, or the link was copied wrongly.
• The video has no sound: it was probably a GIF, which never has sound.
• Save button stopped working: Save buttons last 30 minutes. Paste the link again.

Videos shared on X often come from other apps. Use our TikTok downloader to get the sound too, or save the original from Instagram or Facebook. For short how-to clips, try the Pinterest video downloader. You can read how files are handled in our privacy policy.
