Download X (Twitter) Videos & GIFs from Tweets

Paste the tweet URL. Twitter/X videos don't have independent URLs — the video is embedded inside the tweet. The tweet URL looks like x.com/username/status/NUMBER (or twitter.com/...). There's no separate link to just the video itself.

Yes. Twitter was rebranded to X, and both twitter.com/... and x.com/... URLs point to the same content. Paste whichever format you have — VidForYou handles both.

What appears as a GIF on X/Twitter is stored and served as an H.264 MP4 video (with no audio track). Twitter transcodes all GIF uploads to MP4 because it's significantly smaller. Your downloaded file will be an MP4 that loops like a GIF.

Twitter stores multiple quality tiers for most videos. VidForYou shows the available options — typically up to 1080p for videos originally uploaded at that resolution. Twitter's maximum bitrate is limited, so even 1080p Twitter videos may look softer than the same resolution from other platforms.

Yes. Each reply in a thread has its own tweet URL. Click the timestamp on the specific reply containing the video to get its direct URL, then paste it above.

Tap the Share icon (upload arrow) below the tweet, then tap 'Copy link'. On Android you can also tap the three-dot (⋯) menu → 'Copy link to post'. Paste the copied link into VidForYou.

Yes, but you need the original (inner) tweet's URL, not the quoting tweet. Tap on the quoted tweet to open it on its own page, then copy that URL.

No. Spaces are audio-only live broadcasts and recordings are hosted differently from tweet videos. VidForYou does not currently support Spaces.

If the account is suspended, Twitter/X removes access to all their content. The video will no longer be accessible through any downloader, including VidForYou.

No. Protected accounts require authentication to view — their tweets are not publicly accessible. VidForYou can only download videos from public tweets.

Twitter videos are typically short, so downloads are fast — usually 5–15 seconds from clicking Download to the file appearing in your downloads.
