Why Use InstaDownloader for X (Twitter)?
X, formerly Twitter, is home to some of the most viral video content on the internet — breaking news footage, sports highlights, political speeches, comedy clips, and cultural moments that spread globally within hours. X does not provide a native video download button, which means users who want to save videos must rely on third-party tools like InstaDownloader. We also support saving videos from other top networks, such as with our Facebook Downloader.
Our X video downloader works by accessing the publicly available media stream attached to any tweet or X post. When you paste the URL of a post containing a video, our engine retrieves the highest-quality MP4 stream available and creates a direct download link for you. For saving clips from Instagram grid posts, try the Instagram Downloader.
One common confusion with X is that animated GIFs on the platform are not actually GIF files — they are encoded as silent looping MP4 videos to reduce file size and improve playback performance. InstaDownloader downloads these as MP4 files, which loop correctly in any modern media player or browser.
After Elon Musk’s acquisition and the rebrand to X, many API access points changed. We continuously update our engine to handle the latest X URL formats, including posts from x.com and the legacy twitter.com domain (both work with InstaDownloader).
InstaDownloader is widely used by journalists, researchers, social media archivists, and content creators to preserve public tweets before they are deleted. Given that X has become a critical platform for first-hand documentation of world events, having a reliable download tool is increasingly important.
Pro Tips for Downloading
- 1 Copy the tweet URL from the post timestamp
Click the date/time stamp on any X post. For YouTube video URLs, check out our YouTube Downloader.
- 2 Both x.com and twitter.com URLs work
InstaDownloader accepts both domains. If you want to download high-resolution Instagram Reels, use the Instagram Reels Downloader.
- 3 Protected accounts cannot be downloaded
Only videos from public X accounts (those without a lock icon) can be downloaded. Protected accounts restrict all external access to their content.
- 4 Use the highest quality option
When multiple quality options are available, select the highest MP4 quality for the best result. X serves video at up to 1080p for most uploaded content.
- 5 Act quickly for breaking news clips
Viral tweets are sometimes deleted within hours, especially news clips posted without the rights holder’s permission. Download time-sensitive content promptly.
