Can I save X GIFs as actual .gif files?

Yes. X hosts animated GIFs as small MP4s, but this tool returns the true looping .gif file as well, so it works anywhere GIFs are accepted.

Why did my X download fail?

Most failures trace back to a protected account, a deleted post, or an expired link. Copy a fresh link from a public post and retry.

What this X video downloader gets right

X (formerly Twitter) hosts videos on its own CDN at the resolution the original uploader chose. This tool fetches that file directly — no re-encode, no interface elements baked in.

Paste any public X post URL containing a video into the box above, tap Download, and choose MP4 or animated GIF. The audio is preserved untouched in the MP4; the GIF is the same looping file X itself serves.

Where this works, and where it stops

X's own restrictions decide what's fetchable.

Public posts with video: original resolution and audio, including quote tweets and replies.

Animated GIFs: the looping GIF file X itself hosts, downloaded as a true .gif.

Protected accounts: blocked — X only serves these to approved followers, and we never log in.

Frequently asked questions

Honest answers about what works, what doesn't, and why.

Yes. We fetch the file X's CDN is already holding at the resolution the original uploader chose — no re-encode, no compression added afterward.
