Frequently asked questions
Everything about finding and saving Twitter/X video links
How do I download a video from Twitter or X?
Paste the tweet URL into TwitterShots, click Get Video, choose a quality, then Open. On the video page, use the three-dot menu on the player and select Download to save the file to your device.
Is the Twitter video downloader free?
Yes. Signed-in users can look up video links for tweets at no extra charge. You save files directly from X after opening the link — TwitterShots does not host or re-encode the video.
Why do I open the video instead of downloading here?
Video files are served from X’s CDN. Opening the official link lets you watch or save the file the same way you would on twitter.com or x.com, without routing large files through our servers.
Which quality should I choose?
The list is sorted highest to lowest bitrate. Pick the top row (marked HD) for best quality, or a lower resolution for a smaller file. All options are MP4 variants the author actually uploaded.
How to download Twitter videos on iPhone?
Open Safari on your iPhone, go to TwitterShots, and paste the tweet link like on desktop. Tap Get Video, pick a quality, tap Open, then use the player menu on X to save the file. The downloader works fully in mobile browsers — no app install required.
Does X or Twitter get notified when you screenshot and download?
No. X and Twitter do not notify users when you screenshot or download videos.
