How to Download Twitter/X Videos — Save Tweet Videos in HD

Twitter (now X) doesn't offer a built-in download button for videos. Here's how to save any tweet video or GIF.

How to Download Twitter/X Videos

1. Find the tweet with the video you want to save

2. Copy the tweet link — Click Share → Copy Link, or copy from the browser URL bar

3. Paste into VDO Download and click Get Video

4. Choose quality and download

Fun fact: Twitter "GIFs" are actually short MP4 videos. They download the same way as regular videos — just paste the tweet URL.

Twitter typically offers:

•1280×720 (HD) — Best quality available

•640×360 — Good quality, smaller file

•480×270 — Smallest file size

•Both x.com and twitter.com URLs work

•You don't need a Twitter/X account to download from public tweets

•Videos from protected/private accounts cannot be downloaded
