How to download from X

Both domains work. The short links do not.

By using this site you confirm you have the right to download the file you request.

How it works

  1. 1

    Copy the post address

    Share → Copy link in the app, or the address bar on a desktop.

  2. 2

    Paste it and press Start

    x.com and twitter.com both resolve to the same post.

  3. 3

    Save

    One video row, at whatever the poster uploaded.

Why t.co is refused

A t.co address says nothing about where it goes until our server follows it. Allowing a redirector inside a list of permitted sites means the list permits every site on the internet, which is precisely how a tool like this gets turned into a proxy for probing someone else’s network.

If what you have starts with t.co, open it once in a browser and copy the x.com address it lands on.

Quality is whatever was posted

X re-encodes on upload and caps what it keeps, so a clip that looked sharp on a phone is often noticeably softer once it is a post. There is one rendition stored and that is what comes down — no ladder to climb, and nothing any tool can add.

Frequently asked questions

Does the old twitter.com address still work?

Yes. Both domains resolve to the same post.

Can I download from a protected account?

No. It needs to be a follower, and this never signs in.

What about a quoted post?

It resolves to the video being quoted, not to the quote itself.
