Download videos from public X and Twitter posts as MP4 in HD up to 1080p. Free, no signup, no app — works on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac.
An X (Twitter) video downloader fetches the MP4 file behind a public post. X stores video as several MP4 renditions at different resolutions, typically up to 1080p, served from a public CDN. Both x.com and twitter.com URLs resolve to the same post, and t.co short links expand automatically.
X has no save button for video, and screen recording loses quality and picks up your own interface. This tool takes any public post link — x.com, twitter.com or a t.co short link — and returns the MP4 that X actually stores, at the highest resolution available for that post, with the audio intact.
Tap the share icon under the post and choose Copy link. On desktop, copy the address bar URL. Old twitter.com links work exactly the same as x.com ones.
X is detected automatically. Short t.co links are expanded for you, so there is no need to open them first.
Every rendition X stores is listed with its file size, so you can trade quality against size deliberately rather than guessing.
The rename left two live link formats in circulation, plus t.co short links from the share sheet. All three are recognised and resolved to the same post.
X keeps several MP4 versions of each video. We list all of them with real file sizes rather than silently handing you a mid-quality copy the way most tools do.
X stores video and audio together in a single MP4, so nothing needs merging. What you download plays with sound straight away.
What X labels a GIF is really a silent MP4. We offer both the original MP4 and a genuine GIF conversion, so you get whichever one you actually needed.
Public posts need no authentication. We never ask for an X password, session cookie or token, and no legitimate tool should.
Runs in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac. There is no app and no extension to install.

The move from Twitter to X changed the brand but not the plumbing. Both twitter.com and x.com resolve to identical posts, old links were never broken, and t.co short links from the share sheet expand to either domain. If you have a bookmarked twitter.com URL from years ago it will still work here. There is no need to convert anything by hand.
Video quality depends more on the poster than on the platform. X accepts up to 1080p from standard accounts, and Premium subscribers can upload longer clips at higher quality. What this means practically is that two posts can look identical in the timeline while storing very different files underneath — one at 1080p and one at 480p, because that is what each poster uploaded. We list what genuinely exists for the post you pasted rather than promising a resolution that may not be there.
The GIF behaviour is the thing most worth understanding. When anyone attaches a GIF to a post, X immediately converts it to a silent MP4 and plays it on a loop with a small GIF badge in the corner. From that point on there is no GIF anywhere in the system. Saving it gives you a video file, which surprises people who expected an animated image they could drop into a chat.
That is a genuine format problem rather than a downloading one, so the fix is a real conversion: taking the MP4 X stores and rebuilding an animated GIF from it. That conversion loses colour depth, because GIF supports only 256 colours per frame, and it usually produces a much larger file than the MP4 it came from. Both trade-offs are unavoidable, which is why we offer the MP4 as well and let you pick.
X stores every "GIF" as a silent MP4. If you need a real animated image, it has to be rebuilt — and that involves trade-offs.
| MP4 (what X stores) | Converted GIF | |
|---|---|---|
| Colours | Full colour | 256 per frame |
| Typical file size | 0.5–4 MB | 3–20 MB |
| Has audio | No — GIF posts are silent | No |
| Plays in chat apps | Usually | Yes |
| Quality | Original | Reduced by conversion |
| Best for | Re-editing, storage | Pasting where GIF is required |
Yes. Both twitter.com and x.com resolve to the same posts, and t.co short links expand to either. Paste whichever format you have — nothing needs converting first.
Because X converts every GIF to a silent MP4 on upload and just shows a GIF badge over it. The stored file is a video. Use the GIF conversion option if you need a genuine animated image.
Because the poster did not upload at that resolution. X caps standard accounts lower than Premium ones, so the maximum varies by post. We list only what genuinely exists.
No. Protected posts are visible only to approved followers and need an authenticated session. We never ask for your login and no legitimate tool will.
No. GIF supports only 256 colours per frame, so conversion reduces colour depth and usually produces a much larger file. That is why we offer the MP4 alongside it.
Yes, where the video has an audio track. The format list includes an audio-only M4A extracted without re-encoding.
No. X does not notify anyone about downloads made through external tools, and we send no signal back to the platform.
Neither. Everything runs in your browser, and public posts need no authentication.
Only with permission. Downloading a video does not transfer any rights to it, and reposting someone else's work as your own is a copyright issue regardless of how you obtained the file.
No. Media streams from X directly to your device. Nothing is retained and we keep no log of submitted links.
We do not host any content. All files are fetched directly from the source platform and streamed to your device — nothing is stored on our servers. Download only content you own or have permission to use. If you believe content has been made available in breach of your rights, see our copyright policy.
