About the X (Twitter) Downloader
X (formerly Twitter) offers no download button for videos, even though video posts are some of the most shared content on the platform. MultiDownloader extracts the video from any public post and lists every resolution X provides — typically from 1080p down to 240p — so you can balance quality against file size.
Animated GIFs on X are actually MP4 videos, so they download the same way. Both the new x.com links and old twitter.com links are supported, including t.co shortened links.
x.com, twitter.com and t.co — all the same post
The rebrand left three URL forms in circulation at once, and old links never stopped working. A post saved years ago as twitter.com/user/status/… points at exactly the same content as the x.com version, and t.co links are just X's own shortener wrapped around either. Paste whichever form you happen to have; there is no need to convert it first.
What matters is that the link points at the individual post containing the video, not at a profile or a search page. If you copied the link while the video was playing full-screen, it is usually still the right one.
Resolutions X actually serves
| Quality | Typical use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1080p | Archiving, re-editing | Only if the poster uploaded in Full HD |
| 720p | Everyday viewing | The most common maximum on X |
| 480p / 360p | Quick shares, slow data | Always available |
| GIF (as MP4) | Reaction clips | Silent by design — GIFs carry no audio |
X re-encodes almost everything on upload, so the ceiling is set by what the original poster provided. A clip that was already compressed before it was posted will not offer a 1080p row, and that is a property of the upload rather than a limitation of this tool.
About GIFs having no sound
X stores animated GIFs as short, looping, silent MP4 files — that is how the platform has always handled them. If you download a GIF and it plays without audio, nothing has gone wrong; there was never an audio track. If you specifically want GIF-style clips, the X GIF downloader page covers that case in more detail.
When an X link will not work
- Protected account. Locked profiles require an approved follow, so their posts cannot be reached.
- The post was deleted or the account suspended. Both leave the link intact but the content gone.
- You pasted a quote-tweet. Use the link of the post that actually holds the video, not the one quoting it.
- It is a live Space or broadcast. Audio Spaces and live video are not downloadable posts.
- The post has no video. Image-only and text posts have nothing to fetch.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I download a video from X?
Copy the link of the post (Share → Copy link), paste it in the box above, click Download and choose your quality. The video saves as a normal MP4.
Can I download GIFs from X?
Yes. GIFs on X are stored as small MP4 videos, so they download exactly like normal videos.
Do old twitter.com links still work?
Yes. x.com, twitter.com and shortened t.co links are all supported — paste whichever you have.
Can I download videos from protected accounts?
No. Only videos from public posts can be downloaded. Protected (locked) accounts require a login and are not accessible.
Why does my downloaded GIF have no sound?
GIFs on X are stored as silent looping MP4 files — they never had an audio track. Regular video posts download with their sound intact.
Why is 1080p not offered on some posts?
X re-encodes uploads, so the highest resolution depends on what the original poster provided. If they uploaded in 720p, that is the ceiling for everyone.
Can I download a video from a quote-tweet?
Use the link of the original post that contains the video rather than the post quoting it, otherwise there is no media to fetch.
Can I download several X videos at once?
Yes — the bulk video downloader takes multiple links in one batch, one per line.
