X links come in two address styles, x.com and twitter.com, and old posts still use both. Kwebby's X (Twitter) Video Downloader reads either one, plus t.co short links and mobile addresses. You paste the link of a public post, click Get Video Info, and choose HD or SD to download an MP4. It is one of Kwebby's Free Video & Audio Downloaders.
Use it for videos you posted, or videos whose owner has said you may save them. Follow X's terms and copyright rules, and leave protected accounts alone.
Key Takeaways
- The Kwebby X (Twitter) Video Downloader saves a video from a public X post as an MP4 in HD (the best version available) or SD (the smallest version available).
- It reads x.com, twitter.com, t.co and mobile.twitter.com links.
- GIFs from posts download as short MP4 clips, and Spaces recordings are not supported.
- Protected accounts and private posts cannot be reached, and each file is limited to 100 MB.
- X has changed how it serves video, so some posts may fail with an error. Use Report if not working when that happens.
- Save only videos you own or have permission to download, and credit the account that posted them.
- Limits: each visitor can start 5 video downloads and 10 MP3 downloads per hour across Kwebby's X (Twitter) tools, and each file is limited to 100 MB.
What Is the Kwebby X (Twitter) Video Downloader?
The Kwebby X (Twitter) Video Downloader is a free web tool that saves the video from a public X post as an MP4. You paste the post link, click Get Video Info, choose HD or SD, and click Download. It reads x.com and twitter.com links, runs on Kwebby's servers, and needs no app.
HD gives you the best version the post offers, and SD gives you the smallest one. The exact resolutions depend on the upload. The format list also offers MP3 192kbps for audio only, and the X (Twitter) to MP3 Converter does the same job on an audio-first page.
Key Features and How It Works
HD or SD, side by side
| Choice | Quality | Pick it when |
|---|---|---|
| HD MP4 | Best version available, often 720p or 1080p | You will present it, edit it or archive it |
| SD MP4 | Smallest version available | You need a small file or a quick reference copy |
You choose after you click Get Video Info. HD costs more storage, so use it when the picture matters.
Four link styles in one input
The tool accepts:
- x.com/user/status/... for current posts.
- twitter.com/user/status/... for older and legacy links.
- t.co/... for the short links X creates.
- mobile.twitter.com/... for mobile addresses.
GIFs become short MP4 clips
An animated GIF on X is stored as a short video file, so the tool saves it as an MP4. Use the Video to GIF Converter if you need a GIF again.
Public posts only, no Spaces
The tool reaches public posts. Protected accounts and private posts return an error, and Spaces recordings are not supported. Do not try to work around either limit.
Why Saving X Videos Responsibly Matters
Posts on X mix personal videos, news clips and sports highlights. The person who posted a clip is often not the person who owns it. A broadcaster, a photographer or a league can hold the rights to a video that thousands of accounts have shared.
Saving a clip for your own reference is a small act. Re-uploading it, using it in a commercial video or posting it as your own is a larger one, and it can break X's terms and copyright law. Ask the owner first, and credit the account that posted the video.
Platforms also change what they let tools reach. X serves less video to requests that are not signed in, and you never sign in to X on this page. If a post fails, that may be the reason, and the right response is to try again later or ask the owner for the file, not to hunt for a workaround.
How to Use the Kwebby X (Twitter) Video Downloader
- Open the X post that contains the video you own, or have permission to save.
- Click the share icon on the post and select Copy link. X Help calls it Copy link to post. On a desktop you can also copy the address from the browser bar.
- Paste the link into the input field above.
- Click Get Video Info and wait for the video to load.
- Choose HD or SD.
- Click Download, and the MP4 saves to your device.
If you see an error, check that the post is public and that it contains a video. Then try again, or use Report if not working.
Best Practices for Saving X Videos
Match quality to the job
Use HD for archives, editing and presentations. Use SD when you only need to remember what a clip showed. You can shrink an HD file later with the Video Compressor, but you cannot add detail to an SD one.
Save the post link with the file
Write the account name, the post date and the full link in the file name or a note. The record shows who posted it and what permission you received.
Think about who appears in the video
Videos on X often show people who never agreed to be reposted. Even when you hold the copyright, get consent before you republish footage of private individuals.
Mistakes to avoid
- Pasting a protected account's link and expecting a file.
- Treating a viral clip as free to reuse.
- Re-uploading someone's video without credit.
- Expecting the tool to save a Spaces recording.
Common Use Cases
- Social managers archive the videos their brand account posted before they edit or delete them.
- Event teams keep a copy of a clip they filmed and posted, for the recap deck.
- Researchers save public posts they plan to cite, with the owner's approval for any reuse.
- Educators keep a video they posted, so it plays offline in class.
- Creators pull their own clip back into an editor to cut a longer version.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do I download a video from X (Twitter)?
Copy the link to the post, paste it into the Kwebby X (Twitter) Video Downloader, and click Get Video Info. Choose HD or SD, then click Download. The MP4 saves to your device.
What is the difference between HD and SD?
HD downloads the best available version, often 720p or 1080p. SD downloads the smallest, lowest-resolution version available, which uses less storage and finishes faster. The exact resolutions depend on the upload.
Does it work with both x.com and twitter.com links?
Yes. The tool reads x.com and twitter.com links, t.co short links and mobile addresses. Any post link that holds a video should work.
Can I download Twitter GIFs or Spaces?
GIFs work, because X stores them as short videos, and the tool saves them as MP4 files. Spaces recordings are not supported.
Can I download videos from protected or private posts?
No. The tool saves videos from public posts only. Protected accounts and private posts cannot be reached, and you should not try to bypass that.
Is there a file size limit?
Yes. Downloads are limited to 100 MB per file.
How many downloads can I make, and what happens to the link I paste?
Each visitor can start 5 video downloads and 10 MP3 downloads per hour across Kwebby's X (Twitter) tools, and each file is limited to 100 MB. Kwebby's server fetches the file, hands it to your browser and deletes its copy once the download is served, or after about 15 minutes if it is never collected. The job record holds the link, the title and your IP address and expires about 10 minutes after the job ends. Server logs can also include the link you paste.
