Download Videos from Twitter & X.com

rawlink is a free Twitter / X video downloader that handles both legacy twitter.com URLs and the new x.com format from a single paste box. Paste a tweet URL containing video, click GET, and rawlink fetches the video MP4 directly from X's CDN — no X / Twitter account, no app install, no extension. The download finishes in 5–10 seconds for most tweet videos.

X stores video tweets in multiple quality tiers — typically 1280×720 (HD) and 480p as fallbacks. rawlink lists every available quality so you can pick the resolution you want; HD is recommended for any video you plan to keep. The file is a standard H.264 MP4 compatible with every player, and the audio is included in the same MP4 file (no separate download needed).

Works on iPhone Safari, Android Chrome, Windows and Mac. Supports videos from regular tweets, quote tweets, replies, and tweets in threads — anything publicly visible. Tweets from protected accounts (lock icon) require login and are not accessible. GIFs from tweets are also supported and download as MP4 (X stores them as silent MP4 internally rather than animated GIFs).

// How to Use

How to Use Twitter / X Video Downloader

01 Copy the tweet URL

On X / Twitter, tap the Share button on the tweet (the upload arrow) and choose Copy link. On desktop, copy the URL from your browser address bar.
02 Paste into rawlink

Paste the tweet URL (twitter.com/... or x.com/...) into the input field above and press GET. rawlink resolves the tweet and fetches the video formats in a few seconds.
03 Pick the HD MP4 option

Choose the highest resolution available — typically 720p HD. Lower resolutions are listed as fallback if you want a smaller file.
04 Save to your device

Click Download to save the .mp4 file. On iPhone Safari it goes to Files → Downloads (then Save Video to Camera Roll). On Android, it lands in Downloads and your Gallery.

// FAQ

Download Videos from Twitter & X.com

Is the Twitter / X video downloader free?

Yes — completely free with no signup, no daily limit, no premium tier. Download as many tweet videos as you need.

Does it work for x.com URLs as well as twitter.com?

Yes. Both URL formats are accepted and resolve to the same tweet. Paste either form.

What video quality can I download?

Up to 720p HD for most tweets — that is the highest resolution X stores for video tweets. Some older content may only be 480p. We always list every available quality.

Can I download Twitter GIFs?

Yes. X stores GIFs as silent MP4 files internally — rawlink downloads them as MP4. Convert to GIF afterwards if needed using any free GIF tool.

Does it work for protected / private tweets?

No. Tweets from protected accounts (with the lock icon) require login to view and are not accessible to rawlink. Only public tweets work.

Is there a Twitter X video downloader app I should install?

No need. rawlink runs in any browser — Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android, any desktop browser. No app, no extension, no helper required.

What Video Quality Can You Get from X?

X (formerly Twitter) stores each video at several bitrates and picks one to stream based on your connection. rawlink reads the full set and lists the highest quality the platform actually holds for that post — so you're not stuck with the low-bitrate version the timeline auto-plays. Resolution depends entirely on what the original poster uploaded; X caps and re-encodes uploads, so most timeline videos top out at 720p or 1080p.

// GIFs and limits

GIFs, and the Public-Only Rule

Those looping 'GIFs' on X aren't really GIF files — the platform converts them to silent MP4 video behind the scenes, which is why rawlink returns them as small MP4 clips you can save and reshare. Like everything else, this only works for posts on public accounts: protected (locked) accounts require a follow approval that rawlink can't and shouldn't bypass.
