Whether you still search for a Twitter video downloader or call it an X video downloader, the link format works the same way. FbDown analyzes public status URLs and lets you save the available video stream without adding a browser extension.
How to download public X posts, Twitter videos, and video clips
- Copy the complete video link. Open the post containing the video, select Share, and choose Copy link to Post. Both x.com/username/status and twitter.com/username/status links are supported when the post is public.
- Open the FbDown downloader. Follow the link above, paste the URL into the input, and select Analyze video.
- Choose a format and quality. Select MP4 for broad compatibility or WebM when preferred, then choose Best available or a listed resolution.
- Download the file. Select Download now and keep the browser open while the preparation and transfer progress finishes.
Choosing the best X / Twitter video quality
X often creates multiple encodes for a video. After analysis, choose Best available or a listed resolution. MP4 generally provides the broadest playback compatibility across phones and computers.
Quality labels describe the height of the available video stream. A larger number can provide more detail, but it also creates a larger file and takes longer to download. For phones and everyday offline viewing, 720p is often a practical balance. Choose 1080p when it is offered and the extra detail matters.
Why might a X / Twitter download fail?
Protected accounts, deleted posts, age-gated media, direct-message videos, and posts requiring a login cannot be downloaded as public media. Try the exact public status link rather than a timeline URL.
Start by opening the link in a private browser window. If it cannot play without signing in, a public downloader cannot access it either. Also check that you copied the individual post rather than a profile, feed, channel, search result, or collection page.
Supported formats and devices
FbDown currently offers video downloads in MP4 and WebM. MP4 generally plays on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, macOS, smart TVs, and most editing applications. WebM is an efficient open format supported by modern browsers and many desktop players. The downloader runs in the browser, so there is no separate app or extension to install.
Download responsibly
Only download videos you created, public-domain media, or content you have explicit permission to save. A public link does not automatically grant permission to copy, republish, redistribute, or use a creator's work commercially. Respect copyright, privacy, the creator's wishes, and X / Twitter's terms.
