how to download from X
- Copy the post link. On X, tap the Share icon under the post and choose Copy link. Both x.com and twitter.com URLs work, whether you copy them from the app or a browser.
- Paste the post link. Paste it into the box on fastsaver.io. Short t.co links unwrap on their own, and links copied back in the twitter.com days resolve exactly like x.com ones.
- Check what you are saving. Videos download exactly as they were posted, and GIFs are converted to MP4 files that loop and play in any player. No settings to fiddle with.
- Download the MP4. The video or converted GIF saves as an MP4 named after the post, ready for a camera roll or a video editor.
what you get from X
| Video | the highest-quality MP4 rendition X serves for the post, selected automatically. |
|---|---|
| GIF | a compact looping MP4 — X converts every GIF to video on upload, so this is the file as X stores it, not a re-encode. |
| Filename | files are named from the post text (fastsaver-x-…), so downloads stay identifiable instead of a string of digits. |
| Not included | audio-only MP3s, and media from protected or deleted posts. |

X moves fast — a clip you saw this morning can be buried, edited away, or deleted by the afternoon. FastSaver saves videos and GIFs from public X posts straight to your device, and because X stores GIFs as looping videos, every GIF you grab arrives as a clean MP4 that plays anywhere. Links from both x.com and twitter.com work, so even bookmarks from the Twitter era paste in fine. Our guide to downloading X (Twitter) videos covers the details.
Threads are handled one post at a time: every post in a thread has its own Share → Copy link, so a three-video thread means three quick paste-and-download rounds rather than one bulk grab. The MP4 you get is the highest-quality rendition X serves for that post, picked automatically — there is no quality menu to fiddle with, no X login to connect, and no watermark stamped on your file. If you want the clip in your camera roll afterwards, see how to save videos on iPhone and Android.
Worth restating: downloading a clip does not transfer any rights to it. Save your own posts, media with an open license, or clips the poster has cleared — X's terms still apply either way. The longer version is in our take on the legality of saving social video.
X downloader — frequently asked
How do I download a video from X?
Copy the link to the post (Share → Copy link), paste it above, and choose a quality.
Do old twitter.com links work?
Yes. Both x.com and twitter.com links are supported.
Can I save GIFs?
Yes — GIFs on X are served as short videos, and you can save them in MP4 form.
Do I need an X account?
No login is required for public posts.
Can I download videos from protected or private X accounts?
No. FastSaver only works with posts that are publicly visible. If an account is protected or a post has been deleted, the video cannot be fetched. Protected posts are protected for a reason; FastSaver does not try to get around that.
Can I save just the audio of an X video as an MP3?
No — X downloads are MP4 video files, always. FastSaver’s audio-only mode covers TikTok and YouTube; for an X clip you would need to strip the audio track yourself afterwards.
Why did the GIF I saved turn into an MP4 file?
Because X never stores GIFs as actual .gif files — the platform converts every GIF to a small looping video the moment it is posted. FastSaver hands you that video as an MP4, which is far smaller than a real GIF and plays in any modern player or editor.
Can I download every video in an X thread at once?
Not in one go. Copy the link for each post in the thread and run them through separately — each one finishes in seconds, so even a long thread is quick work.
