Question 1

How do I extract audio from a Twitter/X video?

Accepted Answer

Find the tweet containing the video on twitter.com or x.com. Copy the tweet URL from your browser — it should contain '/status/' followed by a number. Paste it above, click Download, then select the MP3 option and click Download now.

Question 2

Do both twitter.com and x.com links work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After Twitter rebranded to X, both twitter.com and x.com URLs redirect to the same content. Paste either format and VidForYou handles both.

Question 3

What audio quality are Twitter video MP3 downloads?

Accepted Answer

Twitter/X encodes video audio at 128 kbps. VidForYou extracts the audio at the best quality the platform provides, which matches Twitter's stored audio quality for the tweet.

Question 4

Can I extract audio from a Twitter GIF?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but the result may be silent or very short. Twitter GIFs are stored as looping silent MP4 files — they rarely have an audio track. If the GIF has no audio, the extracted MP3 will be empty.

Question 5

Can I download audio from protected or private Twitter accounts?

Accepted Answer

No. Protected accounts restrict who can see their tweets. Since VidForYou cannot authenticate as an approved follower, only videos from public tweets are accessible.

Question 6

Can I extract Twitter Spaces recordings as MP3?

Accepted Answer

No. Twitter/X Spaces use a separate audio streaming system that is not accessible through yt-dlp. Only video tweets are supported.

Question 7

Is it legal to extract audio from Twitter videos?

Accepted Answer

X Corp's Terms of Service prohibit scraping and unauthorized downloading. Extracting audio for personal offline listening is low practical risk. Do not redistribute or commercially reuse someone else's audio without permission — this may violate copyright law.

Question 8

What URL format do I need for audio extraction?

Accepted Answer

You need the specific tweet URL containing the video. It should look like twitter.com/username/status/1234567890 or x.com/username/status/1234567890. Profile page URLs or feed URLs will not work.

Question 9

Can I extract MP3 from Twitter on my phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In the Twitter or X app, tap Share → Copy link to Tweet. Then open vidforyou.net in Safari (iPhone) or Chrome (Android), paste the link, select MP3 and tap Download now.

Question 10

Can I extract audio from a video in a Twitter thread?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as long as you paste the URL of the specific tweet containing the video. If the video is in a reply, tap on that individual tweet to get its direct URL.
