X still accepts both x.com and twitter.com links interchangeably — either one works here, since they point to the same underlying post. What matters more is whether the post itself is public: protected accounts are not accessible, regardless of which domain the link uses.
A single post can carry more than one video. When that happens, this page lists each clip separately so you can pick the one you actually want instead of guessing which is first.
How to download
- 01Open the post containing the video and tap the share icon.
- 02Choose "Copy link to post."
- 03Paste the link here and press Download.
- 04If the post has more than one video, pick the clip you want.
Supported X links
- x.com/username/status/1234567890123456789
- twitter.com/username/status/1234567890123456789
Available formats
- MP4 (highest available)
- The best quality X has encoded for that post, typically up to 1080p.
- MP4 (lower bitrate)
- A smaller alternative when X has generated more than one bitrate.
- GIF → MP4
- X stores "GIFs" as short silent MP4 loops; this delivers that native format.
Troubleshooting
- "This post is from a protected account" message
- Protected (private) accounts require an approved follow to view content — that restriction is enforced here too.
- Only a thumbnail downloads, no video
- This usually happens when the copied link points to the account's profile or a quote-post wrapper rather than the specific post that contains the video — open the video's own post and copy that link directly.
- Video plays fine on X but download fails here
- Some embeds are hosted externally (e.g. linked from another site) rather than uploaded natively to X, and those aren't retrievable through this tool.

FAQ
- Do I need an X account to use this?
- No — you only need the public post link.
- Can I download videos from a thread?
- Yes, copy the link to the specific post in the thread that contains the video you want.
- Why do people call this a Twitter downloader too?
- X was rebranded from Twitter in 2023; both names are still widely used for the same platform, which is why this page is titled for both.
