How to download X (Twitter) videos?
Find the tweet with the video you want to download.
Tap Share and then 'Copy link to tweet'.
Paste the link above and wait for the results.
Choose your quality and download the video.
X (formerly Twitter) is the home of breaking news and viral moments: news clips, unmissable sports highlights, video interviews, and GIFs that spread within minutes. The problem is that there is no native button to save any of that content. PullVid fills the gap: paste the link to any public tweet with a video and download it in HD with nothing to install.
The downloader works with both domains — x.com and twitter.com — and automatically detects whether the content is a regular video or an animated GIF, always delivering the most appropriate MP4 format. If you only need the GIF, try the dedicated X GIF downloader tool.
How to download X videos on every device
On PC (Windows)
Navigate to the tweet in your browser, copy the URL from the address bar (or use Share → Copy link), paste it into the field above, and wait for PullVid to show the available formats. Choose your preferred quality and click Download — the MP4 saves to your Downloads folder.
On Mac
The process is identical in Safari or Chrome. The downloaded MP4 plays natively in QuickTime and is compatible with any macOS video editor.
On Android
Open the tweet in the X app, tap the share icon (upward arrow), and select "Copy link to Tweet". Then open Chrome, go to PullVid, and paste the link. The file saves to your phone's Downloads folder.
On iPhone
Tap Share in the X app and choose "Copy link". Open Safari, go to PullVid, paste the link, and download. On iOS the file appears in the Files app — from there you can save it to Photos or share it directly.
Video formats and quality on X
X accepts videos up to 1080p Full HD (1920×1080 pixels). No 4K or 2K is available, so what you download is always the best quality that platform offers for that specific tweet:
- 1080p (Full HD): the maximum quality — for videos shot at a good source resolution.
- 720p (HD): the most common resolution for X videos; an excellent balance between quality and file size.
- 480p and 360p: for videos uploaded at low resolution or automatically compressed by X.
- GIF (silent MP4): typically at a single resolution, depending on the original GIF.
If you only want the audio from a video — for example, an interview or a music clip — PullVid also offers an audio-only download option.
Is it safe and legal to download X videos?
PullVid installs no software on your device and does not store your files once the download is complete. Content is processed on our own servers and the MP4 you receive is clean, with no added watermarks.
Downloading an X video for personal and private use — watching it offline, sharing it privately — is common practice that most European jurisdictions tolerate. What is not permitted is redistributing, publishing, or monetizing someone else's content without the author's permission. X prohibits downloads in its terms of service, which may lead to your account being blocked on the platform, but this does not constitute a criminal offense.
Common use cases
- Save a news clip or a sports moment before the tweet is deleted.
- Keep a video interview or statement to review offline.
- Archive X animated GIFs in their native MP4 format — better quality than the equivalent .gif.
- Download your own videos posted on X as a local backup.
Looking for a dedicated tool for X animated GIFs? Try the X GIF downloader. And if you want to download videos from other platforms, check the TikTok downloader or the YouTube downloader.
