On a desktop or laptop, saving a video from X (formerly Twitter) is arguably easier than on mobile, you get a bigger preview, faster downloads, and instant access to the file. This works identically on Windows, macOS, Linux, and ChromeOS in any modern browser.

Step 1: Grab the post link

Open the post containing the video on x.com. Click the share icon and choose Copy link to post, or simply copy the URL from your browser's address bar.

Step 2: Paste and fetch

Open our Twitter video downloader, paste the link, and click Fetch. The video appears in a built-in player along with every quality X provides for that clip.

Step 3: Play, then download your quality

Preview the clip right in the browser to confirm it's the one you want. Then click a resolution, up to 4K when available, and the MP4 downloads to your computer with a clean filename. You'll find it in your browser's Downloads folder.

Choosing the right quality

  • 1080p (Full HD): best all-round choice for viewing and sharing.
  • 2160p (4K): only offered if the original was uploaded in 4K; ideal for editing or big screens.
  • 720p or lower: smaller files for quick sharing or limited storage.

Why browser-based beats desktop software

You don't need to install a program that runs in the background or asks for updates. Because downloads go directly from X's content network to your machine, they're as fast as your connection allows, and there's no third-party server in the middle holding your files.

Editing the video afterward

The files are standard MP4 (H.264), so they drop straight into editors like CapCut, Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, or iMovie without conversion. For the cleanest edit, download the highest resolution available.

Frequently asked questions

Which browsers are supported?

Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Brave, and other modern browsers all work.

Is there a file size limit?

No limit from us. 4K clips can be large (tens or hundreds of megabytes), so give big downloads a moment.

Do downloads pass through your server?

No, they stream directly from X's CDN to your browser.
