Every post on X (Twitter) has its own address, something like x.com/user/status/ followed by a long number. That address is the key. Paste it in the box above and the tool finds the video or GIF attached to that post. Old links that still start with twitter.com are read the same way, with nothing to edit.
The link has to be from the post that carries the video. A profile link, a search page or your timeline points to many posts at once, and the tool is left with nothing specific to fetch. If the video sits inside a quoted post, open the original post and copy the link from there. It all works online, on phone and on desktop.

Questions and answers
What does a valid link look like?
It is the address of a post: x.com or twitter.com, the account name, the word status and a number. You get it from the post's share icon, under Copy link, or by opening the post in a browser and copying the address bar.
Can I download a Twitter video on a computer?
Yes. Open the post in your desktop browser, copy the address from the bar or use the share icon and Copy link, then paste it here. The MP4 goes to your downloads folder. It works on Windows, Mac and Linux with no program to install.
Can I paste the link of a Space or a live broadcast?
No. Spaces are audio rooms and lives are real-time broadcasts, and neither is supported. The tool works with videos and GIFs that are already published in public posts, in the resolutions X makes available.
Why does a link from a protected account fail?
Because the post can only be seen by approved followers, and the tool looks at X like a visitor who is not logged in. The same applies to subscriber-only content and to videos exchanged by DM. There is no way around that, and we do not try.
Do you keep the link or the video?
No. The link is used to locate the video, which passes from X to your device without being saved on our server. There is no account and no history, and nothing is posted, liked or replied from your profile.
Is having the link enough to download?
For the tool, the post just has to be public. For you, common sense applies: download what is yours or what the author allowed. Having access to a link does not transfer copyright or clear a repost.
