How to Download Twitter/X Videos for Free

April 12, 2026 3 min read

X (formerly Twitter) does not offer a way to download videos from tweets. You can bookmark them, but that requires opening the app every time you want to watch. To save a video file to your device, use a browser-based downloader.

How to Download a Video from X/Twitter

  1. Find the tweet with the video.
  2. Copy the tweet URL. Click the share icon and select "Copy link."
  3. Open the Twitter/X downloader on LoveConverts.
  4. Paste the URL and click Download.
  5. Save the video file.

Twitter GIFs Are Actually Videos

When someone posts a "GIF" on Twitter, it is actually converted to a short MP4 video. This is because MP4 is much more efficient than GIF format. The downloader saves these as MP4 files, which play on every device.

Reducing File Size

Twitter videos can be large, especially clips from live events or longer conversations. If you need to share the video via messaging or email, use the video compressor to shrink it first.

Other Platform Downloads

LoveConverts supports video downloads from TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and more. The process is identical: copy the link, paste, download.
