How do I download a video from Twitter?

Copy the link to the post with the video, paste it into the Twitter video downloader above and press Find video. When the video shows up, press Download MP4. It saves in the best quality X offers for that video.

Is the Twitter video downloader free?

Yes, with no sign-up. To keep it free, each visitor can look up 3 posts a day (shared with our tweet screenshot tool) and download 5 videos a day.

Can I download GIFs from X?

Yes. X stores GIFs as short MP4 videos, so they download as MP4 files. They play on any phone or computer, and most chat apps show them like a GIF.

Why can't it find the video?

The post may be private, deleted or age-restricted, or the video may be in a reply or a quoted post. Open the post that holds the video itself and copy that link.

Can I download a video from a private account?

No. Only public posts can be loaded. Videos from protected accounts aren't shared by X with tools like this one.

Can I repost a video I downloaded?

The video still belongs to the person who made it. Saving it to watch later is fine; reposting it as your own isn't. Ask the creator, or share the original post instead.

What is a Twitter video downloader?

A Twitter video downloader is a tool that saves the video or GIF in a post on X (Twitter) as a file on your device. X has no download button, so you paste the post's link here and get the MP4 file X stores for that video.

This one picks the highest quality version X has, lets you play it first, and saves it as MP4. GIFs come out as MP4 too, because that's how X stores them.

Download Twitter videos on iPhone and Android

On a phone, copy the post's link from the share menu, open this page in your browser and paste it. On iPhone the video saves to the Files app, under Downloads; from there you can save it to Photos. On Android it lands in your Downloads folder.

Use other people's videos fairly

Saving a video to watch offline or to keep a record is common. Reposting someone's video as your own isn't fair to them and can break copyright. Share the original post, or ask the creator first.
