How to Download a Video from X

1. Open X and find the post containing the video you want to save.
2. Click the share icon on the post and select Copy link, or copy the URL from your browser's address bar.
3. Paste the X video URL into the input field above.
4. Click Download.
5. Select your preferred resolution and save the file to your device.

The download completes in seconds for most videos. The saved file is in MP4 format with no watermark or branding added by this tool.

X to MP4 Downloader

X stores and serves videos natively in MP4 format using H.264 encoding. When you download an X video through this tool, the output is an MP4 file. No conversion step is required. The downloaded MP4 plays on all major devices and operating systems including Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android without additional software.

For users searching for an X to MP4 converter: the video is already in MP4 at the source. The downloader delivers the native file rather than converting from another format.

Download X Reels and Clips

X introduced short-form video content (sometimes referred to as X Reels or video clips) that appears in the For You feed. These download through the same process as standard video posts. Open the post containing the short-form video, copy the post URL, paste it into the downloader, and save.

X clips (short highlights clipped from longer videos or live streams) also use the standard post URL format and download the same way.

Download X Livestream Recordings

X Spaces video and X Live broadcasts that have been saved as recordings on a profile are downloadable as standard video posts. After a live stream ends, if the creator saved it to their profile, it appears as a regular post with a video URL. That URL works in the downloader the same way as any other post URL.

Live streams in progress cannot be downloaded through this tool. Only saved recordings with a permanent post URL are retrievable.

Can You Download Private X Videos?

The downloader works with public posts only. Public X posts are visible to anyone without logging in, which is what allows an external tool to retrieve the video file. Private accounts, posts visible only to followers, and protected tweets require authenticated access that external tools cannot provide.

X does not offer a native export for privately posted videos through third-party tools. If you need to save your own private video from X, the options are: download it from your original source before posting, use X's data export request (Settings > Your account > Download an archive of your data), or screen record the video during playback.

Is the X Video Downloader Free

Yes. ContentStudio's X video downloader is free with no usage cap, no account required, and no subscription needed. It is part of ContentStudio's suite of free social media utilities.
