Twitter / X Video Downloader
Turn any tweet into an MP4. Save videos and GIFs from Twitter (X) in the highest available quality — free and instant.
How it works
Copy the tweet link
On the tweet, tap Share → Copy link. Links from both x.com and twitter.com work, including mobile share links.
Paste the URL above
Paste the tweet URL and press Download. We locate the video or GIF inside the tweet, even in quote-tweets and threads.
Pick quality & download
Twitter stores several resolutions per video — choose the highest one and save the MP4 to your device.
x.com and twitter.com
Both domains and all link styles are supported, so it doesn't matter where you copied the URL from.
GIFs become MP4s
Twitter GIFs are actually looping videos — download them as small MP4 files that play anywhere.
Highest bitrate served
We list every resolution variant the tweet carries and default to the sharpest one available.
No login, no app
Works in any browser without an X account. Nothing to install on iPhone, Android or desktop.
Download videos from Twitter (X) in three clicks
X (formerly Twitter) offers no download button for videos, and the files are deliberately hidden behind streaming URLs. YTVidDown resolves any tweet link and extracts the underlying MP4 in every resolution X provides, so you can keep news clips, sports highlights or your own uploads before they get deleted.
Tweets are famously short-lived — accounts get suspended, posts get removed, and embedded videos disappear with them. Saving a local copy is often the only way to preserve something you'll want to reference later.
Save Twitter GIFs and videos on any device
What Twitter labels a GIF is technically a silent looping MP4, and that's exactly what you'll download — small, high-quality and compatible with every player and messaging app. Regular videos download with sound in up to 1080p depending on the original upload.
On Android and desktop the file goes to your Downloads folder; on iPhone it saves through the Files app, from which you can move it into Photos. No X login is ever required, and private/protected accounts are not accessible — only public tweets can be fetched.
Why choose YTVidDown for X videos?
Many Twitter downloaders redirect you through multiple ad pages or cap quality at 480p. YTVidDown fetches the direct highest-bitrate stream in one step, shows a clean quality picker, and works identically for links from quote-tweets and threads. As always: download for personal use and respect the original poster's rights when sharing.
