Is this Twitter downloader free?

Yes. TWDownload is a completely free X downloader. There is no registration, no watermark and no download limit.

Can I download GIFs and photos too, or just videos?

You can save every media type X supports: videos in MP4 up to HD, animated GIFs (delivered as looping MP4 files, which is how X stores them) and photos in their original full resolution.

Is it legal to save videos from X?

Downloading media for personal, offline use of content you have the right to access is generally acceptable, but the content remains the property of its creator. Do not re-upload or redistribute other people's work without permission, and always respect copyright law and the X Terms of Service.

Do you store the videos or the links I paste?

No. Media is streamed straight from X's own servers to your device and is never stored by us. We only keep short-lived technical logs of errors and failed downloads so we can keep the service healthy.

Twitter Video Downloader – Save X (Twitter) Videos in HD

How to download X (Twitter) videos

Three steps. No app, no account, no watermark.

1

Copy the post link

On x.com or in the X app, tap the Share icon under the post and choose Copy link. Old twitter.com and t.co links work too.

2

Paste it above

Drop the link into the download box and hit Download. TWDownload instantly detects every video, GIF and photo in the post.

3

Save in HD

Pick your quality — up to full HD for videos, original resolution for photos — and the file saves straight to your device.

Why use TWDownload as your X downloader?

Built to be the fastest way to save media from X, formerly Twitter.

Every media type

Videos in MP4, animated GIFs and photos in original quality — if a post on x.com contains it, you can save it.

HD without watermarks

Files come directly from Twitter's servers in the highest bitrate available — nothing is re-encoded, stamped or compressed.

Works everywhere

iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac or Linux — the downloader runs in your browser, so there's nothing to install.

Fast & unlimited

No queues, no captchas, no daily caps. Paste a link, get your file — as many times as you like, free forever.

Private by design

We don't store your files or track your downloads. Media streams from X directly to you; only errors are logged briefly.

Any link format

x.com, twitter.com, mobile links or t.co short links — paste whatever you copied and TWDownload figures it out.

Download Twitter videos after the switch to X

Twitter became X in 2023, and links now point to x.com — but the network still doesn't offer an official save button for media. That's where TWDownload comes in: a Twitter video downloader and X downloader in one, it accepts links from both domains and pulls the media straight from the source in the best quality X provides.

Whether it's a viral clip you want to watch offline, a GIF you'd like to keep, or your own photos you need back from an old thread on x.com, the process is identical: copy the post link, paste it above, and choose a format. Videos are saved as universal MP4 files that play on every phone, tablet and computer; photos are delivered in their original uploaded resolution rather than the compressed preview you see in the timeline.

TWDownload works without the official Twitter API, without browser extensions and without software installs — just a fast, clean web downloader for X that respects your privacy and your time.

Yes. Paste any format — new x.com links, old twitter.com links, mobile.twitter.com links, or shortened t.co links. The downloader recognises all of them automatically.

X hides age-restricted and private posts from anonymous visitors. TWDownload can fetch them when the server is configured with cookies from an X account that is allowed to view the post — for example your own account for your own content, or an account that follows a protected profile. You can only ever save what that account is authorised to see; see the About page for setup details.

Files go to your browser's normal download location — usually the Downloads folder on desktop. On iPhone and Android you'll find them in the browser's downloads list or the Files app.

Downloading media for personal offline use of content you're entitled to access is generally fine, but the content remains the property of its creator.
