Download Videos and GIFs from X (Twitter)
X serves each video at several different bitrates and picks one based on your connection. A downloader can request the highest available variant directly, which is often better than the version that actually played in your browser.
What X calls a GIF is not a GIF. They are silent MP4 loops, and they download as MP4 - which is almost always what you want, because the file is far smaller than an equivalent animated GIF at the same quality. If you genuinely need a real GIF, you will have to convert it afterwards.
A single post can hold up to four media items, and a thread can carry video across many separate posts. Quote-posts embed the original media by reference rather than copying it, so it is the source post that needs to be fetched, not the quote.
Key Features:
- Highest available bitrate variant
- GIF loops saved as MP4
- Multiple media items from one post
- Audio-only extraction
How to Use:
- Copy the video URL from Twitter
- Paste the URL in the input field above
- Click the "Download" button to process
- Select your preferred quality and format
- Save the file to your device
Important Limitations:
info Public posts only. Protected accounts, deleted posts and posts from accounts that have blocked you are not accessible. Age-restricted and sensitive-media posts that require a signed-in account may fail. Live Spaces audio is not supported. Some older video posts were re-encoded by X at lower quality than the original upload, and the original is not recoverable.
URL Format: X and Twitter post URLs look like: https://twitter.com/PassengersMovie/status/821025484150423557
