About TwtxDownloader
TwtxDownloader is a small, independent tool for saving videos, GIFs, photos and audio from public posts on X, formerly Twitter.
Why we built it
Saving a video from X should be simple, but the app has no download button, and many of the sites that fill the gap are slow, covered in pop-ups, or quietly re-compress the video. We wanted a downloader that hands you the original file in every quality X has, loads instantly on a phone, and doesn't try to trick you into clicking anything.
How it works
When you paste a link, our server asks X for the public details of that post: the same information X shares when a post is embedded on a news site. From that we list every video, GIF and photo, with every quality X has stored. When you press download, the file streams from X's servers through ours to you, with a header that tells your browser to save it rather than play it.
MP3 and GIF conversions are done on our server with FFmpeg. The converted file is deleted the moment it's been sent.
What we don't do
- We don't host, index or publish anyone's videos. There's no gallery and no search.
- We don't ask you to log in, and we never touch your X account.
- We don't access private accounts, DMs or age-restricted content.
- We don't add watermarks or re-encode your downloads.
Independence
TwtxDownloader is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to X Corp. in any way. It's kept free by a small number of ads, placed so they don't get in the way of the tool.
