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 it into FastSaver. Open fastsaver.io and paste the link into the box, or hit the paste-from-clipboard button. FastSaver recognizes X links automatically.
- 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.
- Press download. Your file saves with a proper filename. On iPhone it lands in the Files app; on Android and desktop it goes straight to your Downloads folder.

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 old bookmarks from the Twitter days paste in fine. Our guide to downloading X (Twitter) videos walks through the whole flow step by step.
There is no account to create and nothing to install. Copy a post link from the X app or website, paste it on fastsaver.io, and press download — no pop-ups, no fake buttons, and no watermark added to your file. On iPhone the download lands in the Files app; on Android and desktop it goes to your Downloads folder. If you want the clip in your camera roll, see how to save videos on iPhone and Android.
A quick word on doing this right: FastSaver is built for personal, offline use — your own posts, openly licensed clips, or content you have permission to save. Downloading a video does not transfer any rights to it, and X's terms of service still apply. We unpack the nuance in is it legal to download social media videos?
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 — and content someone chose to keep private should stay that way.
Can I save just the audio of an X video as an MP3?
Not for X. The audio-only MP3 toggle is available for TikTok and YouTube, but X downloads always come through as MP4 video files. You would need a separate tool to extract the audio afterwards.
Where does an X video go after I download it on my phone?
On iPhone, Safari shows a download arrow and the file lands in the Files app; from there you can use the Share sheet to save it to Photos. On Android, it goes straight to your Downloads folder.
Can I download every video in an X thread at once?
No. FastSaver processes one link at a time and does not support batch downloads, so you need to copy each post link separately. Each download only takes a few seconds, so working through a thread is still quick.
