Twitter Video Downloader
Sorsa API’s X downloader saves the media of any public post: the video, every photo and the GIF, in the quality X keeps them. No watermark, no ads, no X login.
The video, photos and GIF of the post appear here.
The field takes x.com and twitter.com links, and links that end in /video/1 or /photo/1.
How to download a video from X
Copy the post’s link, paste it into Sorsa API’s X downloader and press Download: the video saves as an MP4 in the best quality X keeps, free, with no watermark and no X login.
Golden hour at the north pier. Three minutes of waves, no music.

What you get from a post
Videos: MP4 with sound, in HD
The video file X itself plays, at the largest size it keeps: 1080p for most videos, larger when the author uploaded larger. The sound is in the file, so there is nothing to convert.
- MP4
- 1920 × 1080
- With sound
Photos: the original image
X shows a compressed preview in the feed, and right-click save keeps that preview. You get the photo as it was uploaded, up to 4096 × 4096 pixels, as JPG or PNG. A post can carry up to four photos; each gets its own Download button.
- JPG or PNG
- Up to 4096 × 4096
- Up to 4 a post
Animations: the looping MP4 X keeps
X turns every GIF into a short silent MP4 when it is posted, so that MP4 is the sharpest copy there is, and it loops in any player. For a real .gif file, open the same link in the Twitter GIF Downloader.
Want an account’s profile picture or header in full size? The Twitter Profile Picture Downloader saves both.
- Looping MP4
- No sound
Sharper than right-click save
A screen recording copies the video again, with the app drawn on top of it, and browser extensions ask to read every page you open. This page fetches the original file from X’s own servers and adds nothing to it.
Already have a pbs.twimg.com image address? Add ?format=jpg&name=orig to its end to open the original size. Addresses on video.twimg.com hold one quality each, so paste the post’s link here instead.
Download all media from an account
This page saves one post at a time. To get every photo and video from a public account, run one search on Sorsa API, the Twitter (X) API & scraper behind it: from:username filter:media returns each post with its direct MP4 and photo links, back to 2006, with no X login.
POST /search-tweetsA whole account: from:username filter:media, about 20 posts a page.POST /tweet-info-bulkA list of links: up to 100 posts in one request.POST /tweet-infoOne post: the same answer this page shows.
One call is one request, whatever it returns, and failed requests are never charged: Sorsa API pricing.
Code for each case: download Twitter videos and images through the API, download Twitter images through the API and how to download all tweets from a user.
No credit card, and they never expire.

}Questions about the downloader
Downloading
Is this X downloader free?
Yes. Save the media of any public post here with no sign-up and no X account. To save media from many posts at once, a free Sorsa API key adds 100 requests, no card needed.
How do I download a video from X (Twitter)?
Copy the post’s link (Share, then Copy link), paste it into the field at the top of this page and press Download. The video appears with a Download MP4 button; tap it to save the file.
Is this a Twitter downloader too?
Yes. X is Twitter’s new name, and the downloader takes links from x.com, twitter.com and mobile.twitter.com, with or without /photo/1 or /video/1 at the end.
How do I save an X video to my iPhone camera roll?
Tap Download in Safari. The MP4 goes to Files, in Downloads: open it, tap Share and choose Save Video, and it appears in Photos. If you opened this page inside the X app, open it in Safari first.
Where does the file go on Android?
Chrome saves it to Downloads, and it shows up in your gallery and in Google Photos.
Can I download X videos without Premium?
Yes. X’s own download option is for Premium subscribers, and only where the author allows it. This downloader works with any public post.
Is there an app or a browser extension?
You don’t need one. The downloader is a web page that works in any browser on iPhone, Android and a computer, with nothing to install and no permissions to grant.
Quality and files
What video quality do I get?
The highest quality X keeps for that post: 1080p for most videos, larger when the author uploaded a larger file. Nothing is compressed again, and the sound stays in the MP4.
Do the files have a watermark?
No. You get the files exactly as X stores them, with no logo or overlay added.
Can I save every photo from a post with several images?
Yes. Each photo of the post appears with its own Download button, in its original size.
Why are the photos sharper than on X?
Because you get the original upload, up to 4096 × 4096 pixels, not the compressed preview the X feed shows. Right-click save keeps that preview; the original is the file you get by adding ?format=jpg&name=orig to a pbs.twimg.com address.
Can I download a GIF as a real .gif file?
Yes, in the Twitter GIF Downloader, which converts it in your browser. Here you get the looping MP4 that X stores, because X turns every GIF into an MP4 when it is posted.
Can I paste a pbs.twimg.com or video.twimg.com link?
Paste the post’s link instead (x.com/name/status/…). A twimg address points to one size of one file, while the post’s link lets the downloader find every file in the post and pick the best version of each.
Can I get just the audio as an MP3?
Not here: the page doesn’t make audio-only files. The MP4 already holds the sound, so save it and take the sound out with any converter.
Safety, privacy and the API
Is it safe to use?
Yes. It never asks for your X login or password, installs nothing and shows no ads. Sorsa API reads public posts through its own API and scraper, so your X account is never touched.
Will the author know I downloaded their video?
No. The downloader only reads public posts: you never sign in with X, and X sends the author no notice of it.
Can I download from a private or protected account?
No, only public posts. A protected account’s posts are visible only to its approved followers, and deleted posts are gone from X’s servers.
Why didn’t my download work?
Usually because the link points to a profile or a search instead of one post, the post isn’t public, or it holds no video, photo or GIF. Copy the post’s own link (x.com/name/status/…). Deleted posts and suspended accounts can’t be saved.
Can I download all media from an account or from many posts?
Not on this page, which takes one post at a time. Sorsa API does: one search finds every photo and video an account posted, back to 2006, and one request takes up to 100 post links.
Is it legal to download videos and images from X?
Yes. Saving public media to watch offline is fine. To repost it or use it commercially, ask the creator first.
Save media from a whole list of posts
Sorsa API takes 100 post links in one request and returns every video and photo: from $0.014 per 1,000 posts, 250x cheaper than the official X API.
No credit card, and they never expire. 6B+ requests served since 2022.
