Drop the link into the box at the top of this page and hit Download. We fetch every quality X has for that video.

Pick a quality and save
Choose HD for the best version or a smaller file for sharing. The MP4 saves straight to your device, ready to watch offline or repost.
Why people use this downloader
Full HD downloads
X stores each video in several resolutions. We list them all, so you can grab the sharpest 1080p or 720p file instead of a compressed copy.
GIFs become MP4s
Twitter GIFs are actually short videos. Paste a GIF post and you get a clean, loopable MP4 you can use anywhere.
Works on any device
iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows. It is a plain web page, so there is nothing to install and no browser extension to trust.
No account, no tracking bait
You do not need to log in to X or to PostOwl. Paste a link, get a file. That is the whole deal.
Multi-video posts supported
If a post carries more than one clip, we list each video separately so you can save exactly the one you want.
Direct MP4 files
No screen recording, no re-encoding, no quality loss. You download the same file X serves to the player.
Download videos from X the easy way
X (formerly Twitter) has no download button for videos. When a clip is worth keeping, your options are screen recording, sketchy apps, or a downloader site covered in pop-ups. This tool is the boring, safe alternative: paste a link, pick a quality, save the MP4.
It works with regular video posts, GIFs, and posts that contain multiple clips. Because we read the same public data X uses for embedded tweets, you always get the original file in the resolutions X actually stores, up to full HD.
A quick note on fair use: only download videos you have the right to save. That means your own content, content with the creator's permission, or material you are allowed to use under your local copyright rules. Give credit when you repost someone's work.

Frequently asked questions
Is this Twitter video downloader really free? +
Yes. No signup, no daily limit for normal use, no watermark added to your file. PostOwl makes money from its social media scheduling product, so the free tools stay free.
Do I need an X account to download videos? +
No. As long as the post is public you can download it without logging in to anything. Videos from private accounts or age-restricted posts cannot be fetched.
What video quality can I download? +
Every resolution X stores for that video, typically 1080p or 720p HD down to smaller mobile sizes. Pick the top option for the best quality.
Can I download GIFs from Twitter? +
Yes. Twitter GIFs are stored as MP4 video, so you get a small, high-quality MP4 that loops just like the original GIF.
Does it work on iPhone and Android? +
Yes. On iPhone, Safari saves the file to your Files app (or Photos, if you choose that after downloading). On Android the MP4 lands in your Downloads folder.
Where does the downloaded video go? +
Wherever your browser saves downloads: the Downloads folder on desktop and Android, or the Files app on iOS. The file is a standard MP4 that plays anywhere.
Why does it say the post cannot be found? +
The post was deleted, the account is private or suspended, or the video is age-restricted. Those are the cases X does not expose publicly, so no downloader can fetch them.
Is it legal to download Twitter videos? +
Downloading for personal, offline viewing is generally tolerated, but the content still belongs to its creator. Do not re-upload other people's videos as your own, and get permission when you want to reuse content commercially.
Downloading videos to repost them?
PostOwl schedules your posts on X, TikTok, Instagram, and more from one calendar, and its optional AI learns your voice to help you write. Stop juggling tabs.
