Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the tweet is public

Our tool can only process videos from public Twitter/X accounts. If a tweet is from a private account, the downloader will not be able to access the video.

Downloads Start Automatically

When you select a video quality, the file is routed through an attachment proxy to force an automatic download to your device, bypassing the need to manually save from a new tab.

Respect copyright and terms

Only download Twitter/X videos that you are authorized to save. NewTools is not affiliated with Twitter or X, and availability depends on regional and platform rules.

Twitter/X Video Downloader

What the Twitter/X downloader does

This tool downloads videos from public Twitter and X posts. Paste a post link from twitter.com or x.com, and the downloader extracts the available MP4 video formats. You can see the detected quality — such as 720p or 480p — and the file size before choosing which version to download. The tool works with both old twitter.com links and current x.com links.

How to copy a Twitter or X post link

On a phone, open the X or Twitter app, tap the Share icon on the post, and choose Copy link. On desktop, open the post in your browser and copy the full URL from the address bar. The link should look like https://x.com/username/status/123456 or https://twitter.com/username/status/123456. Make sure you copy the complete status URL — profile links and timeline links do not contain a specific post.

Supported twitter.com and x.com link formats

The downloader accepts links from twitter.com, www.twitter.com, mobile.twitter.com, m.twitter.com, x.com, and www.x.com. Links must point to a public post with a status ID — for example, https://x.com/username/status/123456. Links to profiles, home timelines, search results, or direct messages are not supported. Both old-style twitter.com and current x.com domains work.

Public posts and protected accounts

Only posts from public accounts can be downloaded. If an account is protected, its posts are not publicly accessible and the downloader cannot extract video from them. Deleted posts and posts from suspended accounts are also not supported. The post must be visible and playable when viewed in a browser without logging in.

Video quality and multiple format options

The downloader extracts the available MP4 video quality tiers from the post. When the source exposes more than one MP4 version, the results may show multiple quality options — for example, 720p and 480p — each with its file size. The highest quality with audio is listed first. Videos may be provided as direct links or as downloaded and processed files, depending on what the post exposes.

Animated GIFs and video posts

Twitter and X display animated GIFs as video files. These may appear in the download results as MP4 options. Standard video posts are also supported. The downloader shows the quality and file information for each available format.

Preview and download behavior

After the post is checked, you can review the available video formats. The downloader shows the detected quality, format, and file size for each option. Select the format you prefer and save the MP4 file to your device. Direct video links are temporary and should be downloaded promptly.

Using the tool on your device

The Twitter/X downloader works in modern browsers on any device. On iPhone, use Safari; on Android, use Chrome or your preferred browser. Open NewTools, paste the post link, and download the video. On Windows and macOS, any browser works — no app installation or account login is needed.

Why a Twitter/X link may not work

Several things can prevent a link from working. The post may be from a protected account or may have been deleted. The account may be suspended. The link may be a shortened tracking URL that does not point directly to a post. Twitter or X may temporarily require verification for access, which the downloader cannot provide. Rate limiting may also prevent extraction.

Platform verification and temporary errors

Twitter and X may occasionally require browser verification, login, or cookie consent to access content. When this happens, the downloader returns a verification error and the post cannot be downloaded at that time. This is usually temporary — try again later or check that the post is publicly viewable in a browser without logging in.

Temporary processing and file availability

Media may be processed and stored temporarily to prepare the download. Temporary files and links are removed according to the service's retention rules. Save the downloaded MP4 to your device once the download is ready.

Privacy and responsible use

The tool does not use or require a Twitter or X account. Download only videos you have the right to save — for example, your own content or content shared publicly. Respect content ownership and the platform's terms of use.
