X (Twitter) downloader

Download public videos from X and Twitter

The socials.download X downloader saves supported public videos, images, and GIF-style clips from X (formerly Twitter) directly to your device. Paste a public x.com or twitter.com post link and download the available file without creating a socials.download account. Protected accounts are not supported.

Supported X (Twitter) link formats

  • https://x.com/<user>/status/<id> — a post on X
  • https://twitter.com/<user>/status/<id> — the legacy domain, still accepted

Paste any of these on the home page.

What works, and what doesn't

  • Videos: supported
  • Photos: supported
  • Gifs: supported
  • Private Content: not supported

Limitations

  • Media is taken from the linked post itself, not from replies or quoted posts.
  • Protected accounts are not supported.

Troubleshooting

I linked a reply or a quote-post and got the wrong media.
We take the media from the post you linked, not from replies or the quoted post. Link the post that actually contains the media.
Nothing resolves.
The account is probably protected, or the post was deleted. Neither is reachable.

Mobile and desktop

On desktop the file downloads straight to your downloads folder. On a phone, saving opens your device’s native share sheet so you can put the file in Photos or Files. Either way there’s no app to install and no socials.download account.

File quality and watermarks

socials.download does not add a watermark of its own and does not intentionally transcode or recompress the file returned by the source endpoint. Whether the file already carries X (Twitter) or creator branding depends on the media X (Twitter) serves.

Copyright and authorization

Download only content you own, have permission to save, or are otherwise legally entitled to use. socials.download does not bypass private accounts, paywalls, login walls, or DRM.

Frequently asked questions

Do twitter.com links still work?
Yes. Both x.com and twitter.com links are accepted.
Can I download from protected accounts?
No. Protected accounts are not supported.
Can I download a Twitter GIF?
Yes. X serves GIFs as short videos, so they download as a video file.
