At a glance
Features
The fastest way to download X videos: no copying links, no pasting into websites, no ads and no X Premium subscription.
One click
X Video Downloader puts its button in the post’s action bar, next to Bookmark and Share. One click downloads the X video as an MP4 — the same works for GIFs and photos.
Video quality
By default the extension saves the highest quality X offers. A target such as 1080p uses the best version at or below that target, or the smallest available version if none fit.
History
Every video you download is logged with a thumbnail, account, quality and size. Search it by @user or keyword, re-download in one click, or export the list as JSON.
About
X Video Downloader is a free browser extension for Chrome and Edge that lets you download videos from X, formerly Twitter. Most online Twitter video downloaders make you copy a post link, paste it into a website full of ads and wait for a file. X Video Downloader skips all of that: the download button is already on the post, and the MP4 goes straight into your Downloads folder.
It is also an X media downloader for everything else in a post. As a Twitter GIF downloader it saves animated GIFs as small, full-color MP4 loops; for photos it fetches the original resolution instead of the compressed preview. Whether you want to download X videos for offline viewing, keep a tutorial, or archive posts before they disappear, it takes one click.
Unlike web-based Twitter video download sites, X Video Downloader never sees your links: it runs locally, needs no account and adds no watermark. Read our guide on how to download Twitter videos or how to download X videos in 1080p.
Privacy
No account, no servers, no analytics, no tracking. Every X video download is processed locally in your browser.
Downloads and history stay on your device. Nothing is uploaded to us.
There is no account to create and no personal data to hand over.

How it works
Add it to Chrome or Edge from the Chrome Web Store. It’s free.
Browse as usual. A download button appears on every post with a video, GIF or photo.
Click the download icon to save the video as MP4 in Downloads. The quality depends on the versions available from X.
Batch download runs on a profile’s Videos tab and collects up to 500 files per run. Failed files are retried up to twice. If X rate-limits the batch, resume it manually.
