Usage & Download Issues

How do I download a Twitter video?

Follow these simple steps:

  3. Paste the URL into our input field on the homepage

The download isn't working. What should I do?

If you're having issues, try these solutions:

  • Make sure the tweet URL is correct and complete
  • Verify the tweet actually contains a video
  • Check if the tweet is from a public account (private tweets won't work)
  • Try refreshing the page and attempting again
  • Clear your browser cache and cookies
  • Try a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)

Can I download videos from private Twitter accounts?

No, we can only download videos from public tweets. If an account is private or protected, we cannot access the video content.

Why does it say "Video not found"?

This usually happens when:

  • The tweet doesn't contain a video (it might be images or text only)
  • The tweet was deleted by the user
  • The account is private or suspended
  • The URL format is incorrect

Where do downloaded videos go?

Videos are saved to your browser's default download location. On most devices, this is the "Downloads" folder. You can change this in your browser settings.

Privacy & Security

Is it safe to use this service?

Yes, our service is completely safe. We don't require any personal information, and we don't install any software on your device. All processing happens securely on our servers.

Do you store my downloaded videos?

No, we do not store any videos. All downloads are processed in real-time and temporary files are immediately deleted after the download completes.

Do you track what videos I download?

We do not track or log individual video downloads. We may collect anonymous analytics data (like page views) to improve our service, but we never store your video URLs or download history.

Will Twitter know I downloaded a video?

No, Twitter/X will not be notified when you download a video. The download process is completely anonymous.

Legal & Copyright

Is downloading Twitter videos legal?

Downloading videos for personal use is generally legal. However, you must respect copyright laws and Twitter's Terms of Service. Do not use downloaded videos for commercial purposes without permission from the copyright holder.

Can I use downloaded videos on YouTube or other platforms?

Only if you have permission from the copyright owner. Downloading a video doesn't grant you rights to redistribute or monetize it. Always get proper authorization before reposting content.

What if I own the copyright?

If you're the original creator, you're free to download and use your own videos. Our tool simply provides an easy way to save your content.

Features & Limitations

Can I download Twitter Spaces or live streams?

Currently, our tool only supports downloading regular video tweets. Live streams and Twitter Spaces are not supported.

Can I download GIFs from Twitter?

Yes! GIFs on Twitter are actually stored as MP4 videos, so our tool can download them. They'll be saved as MP4 files which you can convert to GIF if needed.

Can I download multiple videos at once?

Currently, you need to download videos one at a time. We may add batch downloading in the future.

Do you offer an API?

Not at this time. Our service is designed for individual use through the web interface.
