How it works
When you open a magic link or paste a URL, we validate the public post ID, extract media metadata, and list downloadable qualities. Short-lived signed tokens stream the file so arbitrary URLs are never fetched from the browser.
Supported links
Links must include /status/. X hosts and your replace-domain links both work:
- https://x.com/username/status/123456789
- https://twitter.com/username/status/123456789
- https://savethex.com/username/status/123456789
- https://mobile.twitter.com/username/status/123456789
Privacy
- No account required.
- The service only processes the URL you enter.
- Downloaded videos are not permanently stored on our servers.
- Recent downloads live only on your device (localStorage).
- Only public posts are supported.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the fastest way to download?
Replace x.com (or twitter.com) with savethex.com in the post URL. Keep /username/status/... unchanged and open the new link.
Can I install SaveTheX on my phone?
Yes. Add to Home Screen on iOS or Install App on Android. Once installed, you can share X posts directly to SaveTheX and download instantly.
Can I download X live replays?
Yes. Ended live broadcasts / replays linked from a public post are supported. They’re remuxed to MP4, so longer lives take a bit to prepare — keep the tab open.
How do I download a video from X?
Paste the public post URL at the top of this page, tap Get media, then Save video — or use the replace-domain shortcut.
Does this work with Twitter links?
Yes. Classic twitter.com and newer x.com links both work as long as the post is public and includes media.
Can I download X GIFs?
When X serves a GIF as a short looping video (the usual case), we expose an MP4 download so you can save it.
Do I need an account?
No. You can use the tool without signing up.
Does this work with private posts?
No. Protected accounts and private posts cannot be accessed. The post must be publicly viewable.
What video quality can I download?
We surface the useful resolutions available for that post — often 1080p, 720p, 480p, or 360p — deduplicated from the source formats.
