Key things about downloading media from X (Twitter)

The rebrand changed the link format but not how media is stored. Three things trip people up most often: GIFs aren't really GIFs, a single post can hold several media items, and old links still resolve.

01

GIFs on X are actually silent videos

This is the most confusing part. What loops on your timeline as a 'GIF' is stored by the platform as a silent MP4 — real GIF files are far too heavy, and the platform stopped using them years ago. So what you download is a .mp4, not a .gif. If you genuinely need the GIF container, convert it after downloading; but if you're reposting it anywhere, uploading the MP4 gives you a sharper picture at a smaller size.

02

A single post can carry up to four media items

X allows up to 4 images, or 1 video, per post. With quote tweets, the media inside the quoted post belongs to that other post — open its own link to resolve it. Our results list every item in the post you gave us, labelled with type and size, so you can pick and choose.

03

Old twitter.com links still work

The domain moved from twitter.com to x.com, but the old domain permanently redirects and we recognise both shapes. Links you saved years ago don't need rewriting — paste them as-is. Tracking parameters like ?s=20 on the end are stripped automatically and don't affect resolving.

04

Quality and access limits

Video comes back at the highest transcode X has available, commonly 720p or 1080p depending on the upload. Protected accounts — the ones with a padlock — require an approved follow, so their posts can't be resolved; the same goes for deleted posts. Both are platform-side access controls.

FAQ

X (Twitter) downloader FAQ

A few things worth knowing before you download.

How do I download a video from X (Twitter)?+

Tap the share icon under the post, choose Copy link, paste the x.com/username/status/… address here and download. Old twitter.com links are supported as well.

Why did my GIF download as an MP4?+

Because X stores 'GIFs' as silent MP4 files — the platform hasn't used the real GIF format in years. Convert it afterwards if you need the container, though the MP4 is usually sharper and smaller for reposting.

Can I download all four images from a post?+

Yes. Each image is listed on its own row after resolving, so you can take all of them or just the ones you want.

Can I download from protected (locked) accounts?+

No. Protected accounts require an approved follow, and we don't hold your logged-in session, so their posts can't be resolved. Deleted posts behave the same way.

Does it download without a watermark?+

Yes. X overlays neither its logo nor the handle onto the media, so you get the original frames exactly as the platform stores them. The same holds for 'GIFs': they arrive as MP4s — silent video, really — and they arrive just as clean.
