X video downloader

Paste an X post link. Download its video, GIF or photos, or save the post to keep it.

Works with X (Twitter) links. Download gives you the files. Save keeps the whole post.

What is an X video downloader?

An X video downloader reads the link to a post and gives you its video, GIF or photos as files you can keep.

Paste the link into xsavr and it lists every media file in the post. A video usually comes in several sizes. Each button shows the height of the file, such as 1080p or 720p, with the largest first. Videos save as MP4. GIFs save as MP4, or as a real .gif file when you press Download as GIF. Photos save at the full size X stored. It runs in your browser on a phone or a computer and is free to use. To keep the whole post instead, press Save. xsavr stores the text, author and media on a public page that still opens after the original is deleted. It reads public posts from x.com and twitter.com.

Which links work

If a link gives no result, check it against this list.

Public posts. xsavr reads posts from public accounts. Posts from private accounts stay out of reach.

Posts that still exist. Once X removes a post, xsavr can no longer fetch it. A post you saved on xsavr first keeps opening.

Links to one post. Copy the link from the post itself, not from a profile. It contains /status/ and a long number.

Posts with media. Download needs a photo, video or GIF. For a post that is only text, press Save to keep it.

Regular posts. Save keeps regular posts and threads. Long-form articles are not supported yet.
