X (formerly Twitter) has no download button for videos. Paste the post link here to save the video in the best quality the platform offers. Both x.com and twitter.com links work.
How to download an X video
- Tap the Share icon under the post.
- Choose Copy link.
- Paste the link above and pick a quality.
Posts with several videos
If a post contains more than one video, each is listed separately. To download a video from a quoted post, use that post's own link.
GIFs
GIFs on X are really short, silent MP4 videos, so you get an MP4 file, which is much smaller and sharper than a GIF. If you need an actual GIF, convert the MP4 with any video-to-GIF tool.
Posts marked as sensitive
X shows some posts only to logged-in users. For these you may see a "login required" error.
