How to download a Twitter/X video

  1. Copy the tweet URL. On twitter.com or x.com, click the Share icon under the tweet that contains the video and choose Copy link. From the mobile app, tap the Share icon and choose Copy Link to post. Both full twitter.com/x.com URLs and short t.co links work. Make sure you copy the URL of the tweet that contains the video, not a quote-tweet of it.
  2. Paste it into TubePull. Paste the URL into the download box at the top of this page. TubePull detects that it is a Twitter or X.com link, follows any t.co redirect, and resolves the highest-quality video variant Twitter has on file. Choose MP4 to keep the full video or MP3 to extract just the audio.
  3. Click Download. TubePull pulls the source MP4 from Twitter's CDN, assembles the HLS chunks server-side, and delivers a single clean file straight to your device. No watermark is added because Twitter doesn't watermark video. The file is exactly what the original creator uploaded.

About the TubePull Twitter/X Video Downloader

Twitter (now X) embeds videos directly in tweets using an HLS adaptive-bitrate stream — the same format Twitter's web and mobile players use. The official "Share" menu doesn't include a download option for videos, and copying the tweet URL gives you a link to the tweet, not the video file. TubePull pulls the underlying MP4 from Twitter's CDN, gives you a single clean file at the highest resolution the uploader posted, and lets you switch to MP3 if you just want the audio.

How Twitter serves video (and why "right-click save" doesn't work)

When you watch a video on twitter.com or x.com, the player loads it as a sequence of short MPEG-TS chunks signed with short-lived URLs that expire within minutes. Right-clicking the video and choosing "Save video as…" either saves a frame (Chrome) or fails outright (Firefox), because the file your browser is playing was never a single MP4 — it was hundreds of streamed chunks. TubePull asks Twitter's metadata API the same way the official player does, picks the highest-quality variant from the manifest, downloads and assembles the chunks server-side, and gives you a single MP4 file. No watermark is added because Twitter doesn't watermark video — the file is exactly what the original uploader posted.

What works

  • Any public tweet URL containing a video: twitter.com/<user>/status/<id> or x.com/<user>/status/<id>
  • Short links from the share sheet: t.co/<id> redirects are followed automatically
  • Audio-only extraction: choose MP3 to grab just the soundtrack
  • GIF tweets: Twitter stores "GIFs" as silent MP4s under the hood — those download as MP4 and play silently in any video player
  • Videos from quote-tweets and replies (paste the URL of the tweet that contains the video, not the tweet quoting it)

What does not work

  • Videos in protected (locked) accounts — those require Twitter authentication and TubePull does not log in on your behalf
  • Videos in tweets that have been deleted, hidden by the author, or removed by Twitter (the source file is gone from the CDN)
  • Live Spaces audio rooms in progress: Spaces are recorded only if the host opts in, and the recording is published as a separate tweet after the Space ends — paste that tweet URL instead
  • Embedded YouTube/Vimeo/external videos that appear inside tweets: paste the original YouTube/Vimeo URL into TubePull instead
  • Animated avatars / banner videos on profile pages

Why TubePull beats SaveTweetVid and TwDown

The two largest dedicated Twitter video downloaders — SaveTweetVid and TwDown — both work in the simple case, but they bundle interstitial ads, sometimes redirect to third-party tracker pages, and routinely break for hours after Twitter ships a CDN change. The practical differences:

  • One subscription, all platforms: the same Pro plan downloads from Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, SoundCloud, and 6 other platforms. SaveTweetVid is Twitter-only.
  • No ad gates: paste a tweet URL, click download, get the MP4. No "click here to confirm" interstitials, no fake download buttons, no popunders.
  • History page: every download is logged to your account, so re-grabbing a tweet you already saved doesn't cost an extra slot against your daily limit if it's a re-download of the same content.
  • Built on yt-dlp: when Twitter changes its CDN, manifest shape, or signing protocol — which they do regularly under X's engineering — yt-dlp ships a fix in hours and TubePull picks it up on the next deploy.
  • No watermark, no re-encode: the file is the original source MP4 the uploader posted, byte-for-byte. Some Twitter downloaders re-encode to a lower quality so they can serve the file faster from their own cache. We don't.

Frequently asked questions

Can I download videos from x.com (formerly Twitter)?
Yes. TubePull supports both twitter.com and x.com URLs — they're the same platform under the hood, and our extractor handles them identically. Paste either format and TubePull pulls the underlying MP4 from Twitter's CDN. Short t.co share links are followed automatically.
Do I need to log in to download Twitter videos?
No. TubePull does not log in to Twitter on your behalf and downloads only public tweets. Any tweet you can view on twitter.com without being signed in — public accounts, embedded tweets, news links — can be downloaded. Tweets in locked/protected accounts are not supported because they require Twitter authentication.
What quality do I get from a Twitter video?
TubePull pulls the highest-quality variant Twitter has in the video manifest, which is whatever the uploader posted. Mobile-uploaded videos typically max out at 720p, while desktop-uploaded videos can reach 1080p Full HD. We don't upscale and don't re-encode — what you get is byte-for-byte what the uploader put on the platform.
Are Twitter videos watermarked?
No. Unlike TikTok, Twitter does not burn a username overlay or watermark onto videos. The file TubePull returns is the original MP4 the creator uploaded, unmodified. Some downloaders add their own watermark — TubePull never does.
Does it work with t.co short links?
Yes. The short t.co links Twitter generates for the share sheet are followed automatically. Paste t.co/abc123 directly and TubePull resolves the redirect to the underlying tweet before fetching the video.
Can I download Twitter Spaces or audio rooms?
Only if the host enabled the recording option. Live Spaces in progress are not downloadable while they're happening. When a host enables recording, Twitter publishes the recorded Space as a separate tweet after the Space ends — paste that tweet's URL into TubePull and you'll get the audio. Live Spaces with recording disabled disappear when the room closes; no third-party tool can recover them.
What if the tweet contains an embedded YouTube or Vimeo video?
Paste the original YouTube or Vimeo URL into TubePull instead. Tweets that embed third-party video players don't have the video file hosted on Twitter's CDN — they just show the source platform's player. TubePull supports YouTube, Vimeo, and 6 other platforms directly, so grab the source URL and use the matching extractor.
Why did my Twitter download fail?
A few common causes. (1) The tweet was deleted, hidden, or moderated off the platform — the source file is gone from Twitter's CDN. (2) The account is now protected/locked. (3) The video is in a Space that wasn't recorded. (4) Twitter is currently degraded — X.com goes through routine reliability dips and downloads sometimes need a retry a few minutes later. If a tweet plays on twitter.com in an incognito window, TubePull should be able to download it; if not, please send us the tweet URL via support.
Is downloading Twitter videos legal?
Twitter videos are governed by Twitter's Terms of Service and by the copyright of the original uploader. Downloading public tweets for personal viewing — the same content you could screen-record from your browser — is generally permitted. Redistributing copyrighted content, removing attribution, or re-uploading someone else's video as your own without permission is not. You are responsible for ensuring your use complies with Twitter's ToS and your local copyright law.
How is TubePull different from SaveTweetVid or TwDown?
SaveTweetVid and TwDown are single-platform tools — they only download Twitter videos. TubePull is multi-platform: the same account downloads from Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, SoundCloud, Vimeo, and 4 other platforms. We don't run interstitial ad gates, we don't add a watermark, and we don't re-encode the source file. Built on yt-dlp under the hood, which ships fixes within hours when Twitter changes its CDN.
