Twitter/X Downloader

The average lifespan of a viral tweet is shockingly short. Between account suspensions, rage-deletes, and platform purges, the video you bookmarked yesterday could be a dead link tomorrow. Twitter/X Downloader makes sure that does not happen to the clips you actually care about. Install the extension, browse Twitter (or X, or whatever they are calling it this week), and every video on your timeline gets a download button. Click it, choose your quality, and the MP4 saves straight to your machine. No redirects to sketchy ad-farm websites, no pasting URLs into some random online converter. The whole thing happens inside your browser. The extension reads Twitter's media manifests to find the highest bitrate variant available, so you always get the best quality the platform serves. GIF-style videos are handled too — they save as proper MP4 loops instead of the massive GIF files Twitter actually uses under the hood. Batch downloading works across threads and profiles. Open someone's media tab, let the extension scan, pick the clips you want, and queue them up. Every file is named with the tweet author and post ID so you can trace any download back to its source. All processing is local. Your Twitter session stays in your browser, credentials are never stored, and no video data passes through external servers. Compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Brave, and Opera on all major desktop operating systems. Start with three free downloads to see how it fits your workflow.

I cover breaking news and tweets vanish constantly. This grabs the video in seconds and the filename includes the tweet ID so I can always reference the source. Indispensable for my workflow.

Sophie Brennan

The GIF-to-MP4 feature alone sold me. Those autoplay loops on Twitter are actually huge files and this saves them as tiny MP4s. Way better than any online converter I have tried.

Kenji Watanabe

Batch mode on a profile's media tab is the real star. Select everything, queue it, walk away. Came back to a perfectly organized folder of clips. No duplicates, no misses.
