How It Works

No account, software install, or complicated setup is required. Submit a public X link from any modern browser and the service prepares the media for download.

1

Find the content on X

Navigate to the Space, broadcast, video, or GIF you want to save on X (formerly Twitter) in your browser or the X app.

2

Copy the URL

Copy the link from your browser's address bar, or tap the share button on the post and select "Copy Link."

3

Paste and download

Paste the URL and click Download. Spaces download as MP3 audio. For videos and broadcasts, choose Video or Audio. Follow the progress, then preview or save your file.

Why Use X Media Downloader

We built this tool to be the simplest, most privacy-respecting way to save content from X for personal offline access.

Completely Free

No premium plans, no download limits, no hidden fees. Free for everyone, always.

No Account Needed

Just paste a URL and download. No sign-up, no login, no personal information required.

Privacy First

No account is required. Submitted URLs are retained only while a job is active, and temporary files and job records are deleted after completion.

Works on Any Device

Browser-based tool that works on iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, and Linux. No app to install.

Original Quality

Video downloads keep the best available quality from X. Audio downloads use MP3 for playback in your music player.

Clear Progress

See when your file is queued, downloading, recording live, or being prepared. Preview the result and download it again while it is available.

What to Expect: Limits and Known Issues

The downloader works with publicly accessible posts, Spaces, and broadcasts. These are the practical limits you may run into:

Public content only

Protected accounts, private Spaces, and subscriber-only posts cannot be downloaded. The service never asks for your X login, and you should never give your password to a download tool.

Deleted means gone

If the creator deletes a post or Space, or its replay window closes, the media is no longer available to download. Save important recordings soon after they air.

Live Spaces record in real time

A live Space is recorded as it happens, so a two-hour Space takes about two hours to capture. Spaces and broadcasts can run for up to 12 hours; downloads from regular posts stop after 2 hours.

Audio needs a soundtrack

MP3 files are encoded at 192 kbps. Clips without sound, including most GIFs, cannot be converted to audio; download them as video instead.

Files expire after one hour

Finished files are deleted from our servers about an hour after they are ready. The completion card shows the exact expiry time. Paste the link again if you miss it.

Size cap of 5 GB

Each download is limited to 5 GB. That is far more than a typical video. Very long broadcasts in high quality can reach it, so choose Audio if you only need the sound.

Responsible Use and Copyright

People use this tool to keep copies of their own Spaces and videos, to save interviews and discussions they have permission to reference, and to preserve public statements for research, reporting, or accessibility. Downloading a file does not transfer any rights to it. Only save content that you created, have permission to use, or may lawfully use where you live, and credit creators when you share their work.

We do not host a library of media. Files are fetched on request and deleted after about an hour. If you believe this service is being used to infringe your copyright, email [email protected]. Our disclaimer and DMCA policy explains how to submit a notice.
