Twitter (now known as X) is a globally popular social platform where users frequently share short videos, animated GIFs, live clips, and other multimedia content. However, Twitter does not offer a built-in download option, making it difficult for users to save these media files directly.
This guide will show you how to download videos or GIFs from Twitter by copying the tweet link and using our all-in-one media extraction tool.
Steps to Follow
Step 1: Copy the tweet link
Open the Twitter app or website, find the tweet that contains the video or GIF you want to save, tap the Share icon, and select Copy link.
Step 2: Open the media extraction tool
Go to our media extraction website. After logging in, paste the copied tweet link into the input box on the homepage.
Step 3: Extract and download the media
Click the Extract button. The system will analyze the tweet and detect any media resources. Once processed, you’ll see a preview along with a Download button.
All media will be saved in MP4 format, including animated GIFs (which Twitter stores as video).
FAQs
1. Why does it say “invalid link” when I try to extract?
Make sure the tweet link is complete and the post hasn’t been deleted or set to private.
2. Can I download long videos from Twitter?
Yes, most long videos are supported. If parts are missing, try refreshing or switching networks.
3. Why are GIFs downloaded as videos?
On Twitter, GIFs are actually short videos. Our tool extracts them as MP4 files for better compatibility.
4. Is the original video quality preserved?
We prioritize high-resolution versions, but the final quality depends on the source uploaded to Twitter.
