How to Download Twitter Videos, X Spaces and GIFs
URL formats that work
Each link type maps to a different media output:
- Tweet with video:
x.com/username/status/1234567890saves as MP4 - X Space:
x.com/i/spaces/1AbCdEfGhIjKlsaves as M4A audio - Broadcast replay:
x.com/i/broadcasts/...saves as video - GIF in a tweet: same as a tweet status URL, saved as MP4
Step-by-step
- Open the post or Space on X and confirm it loads without logging in.
- Copy the full URL (Share, then Copy link on mobile).
- Paste on the homepage and click Download.
- Wait for the progress bar. Click Download when your file is ready.
- Open the file from your browser download folder.
Platform notes
iPhone and iPad
Use Safari for the simplest flow. After download, check Files, then Downloads. If playback fails, try VLC for iOS.
Android
Chrome works well. Long-press the completed download in notifications to open or share the MP4.
Desktop
Any modern browser. Files land in your default Downloads folder.
Spaces and broadcasts
- Live Spaces often cannot be saved until the host ends the session and a replay exists.
- Ended Spaces may disappear from X after a while. Download while the link still works.
- Broadcasts use the same paste-and-download flow as tweet videos.
Troubleshooting
Download button stays disabled
The URL must match x.com/.../status/..., x.com/i/spaces/..., or x.com/i/broadcasts/.... twitter.com links also work.
Download failed immediately
The post was deleted, is private, or geo-blocked. Open the URL in a private browser window to verify.
Progress stuck mid-way
Large files need patience. Refresh once and retry. Avoid starting duplicate jobs for the same URL.
