๐ฆ Twitter Video Downloader
Download Twitter (X) videos in high quality โ fast, free, and easy
A Twitter Video Downloader is a free online tool that lets you save videos and GIFs from any public tweet directly to your phone, tablet, or computer. Twitter's platform doesn't include a download button by design โ and even screen recording gives you poor quality, audio-free results that don't come close to the original.
Original Quality, Full Audio โ Our downloader retrieves the original video file from Twitter/X's servers โ with audio intact, at the same quality it was uploaded โ and delivers it to you as a clean MP4 file. No compression. No watermarks. No workarounds needed.
Twitter GIF Support โ Twitter GIFs are not actual GIF files โ they're stored as looping MP4 videos. Our tool downloads them in their native MP4 format, preserving the full quality and smooth loop that screen recording simply cannot replicate.
Why Twitter Doesn't Have a Download Button โ Twitter/X withholds native downloads to keep users active in the app, protect ad revenue, and avoid copyright liability for the licensed TV clips, sports broadcasts, and creator content shared daily on the platform. Our tool works ethically by accessing only publicly available video data โ the same content anyone can already see and play.
It takes less than a minute to save a video from Twitter or X. No account needed. No watermark. No waiting.
Step 1 โ Copy the Tweet URL โ Open Twitter/X and find the tweet containing the video you want to save. Click the share button on the tweet and choose "Copy Link," or copy the URL directly from the address bar of your browser. The tweet link will look like: https://x.com/username/status/123456789 or https://twitter.com/username/status/123456789
Step 2 โ Paste the Link Into the Tool โ Go to SocialFollowers.io's Twitter Video Downloader and paste the copied tweet URL into the input field. Make sure you use the full tweet link โ not just a username or profile URL.
Step 3 โ Choose Quality and Download โ Press "Download." Our tool will display all available quality options based on the original upload โ typically SD, HD, and Full HD (1080p). Choose your preferred resolution and save the MP4 file directly to your device. We always recommend downloading at the highest available quality, as the file size difference is manageable on modern devices while the quality difference is significant.
Twitter supports uploads up to 1080p Full HD at a maximum bitrate of 25 Mbps. The quality options available when you download depend on what resolution the original uploader chose. Our tool shows you every available option before you download.
SD (360p or 480p) โ Smaller file size, suitable for casual viewing on mobile. Noticeably less sharp on larger screens โ best when storage space or data is limited.
HD (720p) โ A solid balance of file size and visual quality. Renders clearly and sharply on most screens and is the minimum recommended for sharing or keeping as a reference.
Full HD (1080p) โ The best quality available. Ideal for editing, archiving, documentation, or any use where maximum clarity matters. We always recommend downloading at the highest available resolution โ the file size difference is manageable on modern devices, and the quality improvement is substantial.
Full Audio, No Watermarks, GIF Support โ Every downloaded video includes the original audio track โ no muting, no stripping. Twitter GIFs download as native looping MP4 files, preserving the full quality and loop that screen recording cannot match. All files are clean with zero watermarks or branding overlays.
Screen recording is a common workaround for saving Twitter videos, but it falls short in every meaningful way. Our downloader retrieves the original source file, while screen recording captures a compressed, lower-resolution version with no guarantee of clean audio โ and often picks up background noise, UI elements, and notification sounds.
Journalists & Researchers โ Save video evidence from public tweets for news stories, investigations, and academic citation. When accounts are deleted or suspended, those videos disappear permanently โ saving them while still available is critical for documentation.
Content Creators & Marketers โ Download inspiration clips, reactions to your own work, or videos you've already posted. Marketers and advertisers save successful video campaigns from competitors to study what's working and inform their own creative strategies.
Sports Fans & Everyday Users โ Save game highlights, viral moments, breaking news clips, memorable speeches, and any video you want to keep before it gets deleted or accounts go private. Teachers and students download educational content and explainer videos for offline study.
Personal Backup โ Save the videos you've uploaded to Twitter before you delete a tweet or in case your account is ever hacked or suspended. Your content deserves a safe, high-quality offline copy you actually control.
Is it safe? โ Completely. You don't need to log in to Twitter, provide personal information, or install an app. SocialFollowers.io doesn't store your data, download history, or any other personal information. Nothing is installed on your device. You can use it without worry.
Is it legal? โ Our tool only works with publicly visible tweets. Downloading videos for personal use, offline viewing, research, or backup is generally acceptable. However, you must respect intellectual property rights โ do not re-upload, broadcast, or use someone else's video content commercially without the owner's permission. Always credit creators when sharing their work. This tool is intended for lawful, ethical use only.
Can I download from private Twitter accounts? โ No. Our tool only works with public tweets. Content from private accounts is not publicly accessible, and the tool cannot retrieve it.
Will the tweet owner be notified? โ No. Our tool retrieves publicly available video data and does not interact with Twitter's notification or activity system in any way. The author receives no alerts.
Does it work on iPhone and Android? โ Yes. On iPhone, use Safari and tap "Download Linked File" when prompted โ your MP4 saves to the Files app, from where you can move it to your Camera Roll. On Android, downloaded files appear in your Downloads folder and can be moved to your gallery using a file manager.
Are there video length or size limits? โ No. Our tool works with Twitter videos of any length. Standard users can upload up to 2 minutes 20 seconds (Premium users longer), and all are processed without issue. The tool is also 100% free with no download limits, no subscriptions, and no sign-up required.
