How to download X videos
- Step 1
Copy the link
Tap the share icon on the post, then Copy link. Both x.com and twitter.com links work.
- Step 2
Paste it above
Paste the link in the box at the top of this page and press Download. FetchBolt finds the video and its formats.
- Step 3
Choose and save
Pick a quality and tap Download. The file saves to your device.
What you get
MP4 in each quality X provides (often 1080p, 720p and 480p). GIFs download as small looping MP4s.
X stores several versions of each video. FetchBolt lists them all with their resolution so you can pick between the sharpest and the smallest file.
X turns GIFs into short videos, so they download as MP4. Most players loop them just like a GIF.
- Posts with several videos
- If a post has several videos, each one is listed separately. Quoted posts download from the link of the post that contains the video.
Save it on any device
iPhone and iPad
Open FetchBolt in Safari, paste the X link and tap Download. The MP4 saves to Files → Downloads; tap it, then Share → Save Video to put it in Photos.
Android
Paste the link in Chrome or any browser and tap Download. The MP4 lands in Downloads and shows up in your gallery automatically.
Windows, Mac and Linux
Copy the link from the address bar or Share button and paste it above. The MP4 saves to your Downloads folder in any browser, with nothing to install.
Troubleshooting and safety
The download doesn’t work. What can I do?
Check that the video plays for everyone: private posts, age-restricted content and anything that needs you to sign in can’t be downloaded, and FetchBolt tells you if a video was removed or is region-locked. Copy the link with the app’s Share button and paste it on its own. If X is limiting traffic for a moment, wait a minute and try again. Large files take longer to prepare, and the button shows the progress while they do.
Is FetchBolt safe to use?
FetchBolt runs in your browser: no app, no extension and no sign-up, and it never asks for your X password. Files are prepared on our servers only for as long as it takes to send them to you, then deleted, and we don’t keep a history of your links. The only buttons that download anything are the ones in the FetchBolt card, next to each quality.
Step-by-step guides
X (Twitter) Video Downloader: frequently asked questions
Does it work with twitter.com links?
Yes. Old twitter.com links and new x.com links are both supported, including links copied from the app.
Can I download videos from protected accounts?
No. Only posts that anyone can view without signing in are supported.
Why does my GIF download as MP4?
X converts every GIF to a video when it’s posted. The MP4 is the original file X serves.
Can I download a video from a quoted or replied post?
Paste the link of the post that actually contains the video. Open it on its own first if it’s inside a quote.
Can I download X Spaces?
Live Spaces can’t be downloaded. If the host posts the recording as a video, paste that post’s link.
How long does it take?
Most X videos are ready in a few seconds. Long, high-quality videos can take up to a minute; the button shows the progress.
Is FetchBolt free?
Yes. FetchBolt is free to use with no sign-up and no download limits for normal use. It’s supported by ads.
Do I need to install anything?
No. FetchBolt runs in your browser on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac and Linux.
Do you keep the videos I download?
No. Files are prepared on our servers only for as long as it takes to send them to you, then deleted. We don’t keep a history of your links.
