Why an X video won't download
Public posts usually open on the first paste. If the downloader is not working for a post, it's one of the reasons below. An MP4 with no audio means the clip had no sound on X either: X keeps the sound inside the same file, so it can't be added back.
The post was deleted· its link stops working everywhere
It's a GIF or photos· use the GIF or image downloader
The link expired· each link works for an hour
The account is protected
Its posts show only to followers the owner approved. Ask the poster to send you the clip.
Where the downloaded X video goes
The MP4 lands where your browser saves files.
Download X videos on iPhone
Use Safari: paste the post link, press Get video, then Download video. The MP4 lands in Files › Downloads, and two taps move it to your camera roll.
Step by step on iPhone
- In the X app, tap Share under the post, then Copy link.
- Open this page in Safari, paste the link and press Get video.
- Tap Download video, then Download in Safari's prompt. The MP4 goes to Files › Downloads.
- Open it in Files, tap Share, then Save Video. It now sits in Photos, in your camera roll.
iPhone Shortcut, Android and computer
There's no MuteView iPhone Shortcut to install, and you don't need one: Safari does the whole job. Skip any Shortcut that asks for your X login. On Android, Chrome saves the MP4 to the Download folder; open it from the Files app. On a computer, it lands in Downloads.
Save the X video or a still frame
This X video downloader saves MP4 only. There's no Twitter video to MP3 option: the MP4 keeps its sound, and most players and editors open it as it is.
GIFs and stills
To turn a clip into a GIF of up to 15 seconds, use the Twitter GIF Downloader. To keep one frame, pause the video in a result and save it as a PNG at the video's full size.

What is the best Twitter video downloader?
MuteView is a free Twitter (X) video downloader that saves any public post's video as an MP4 in the highest quality X offers. It runs in your browser and never asks for your X login.
Will they know I downloaded their video?
No. X doesn't notify anyone when their video is downloaded, and your X account is never used.
Can I download videos from a protected X account?
No. Protected posts are visible only to approved followers inside X.
Is the X video downloader free?
Yes. Saving a video from a post link is free and doesn't use a lookup, with or without an account. To keep the service fast for everyone, very heavy use is slowed down for a short while.
Can I download GIFs from X?
Not on this page. It saves videos only, so GIF posts and photos show no download button.
All 19 questions →
What if a post has more than one video?
Swipe through the post: each video has its own download icon in the corner of the player. The Download video button saves the first one.
Can I choose the video quality?
The page picks for you. It always saves the highest-bitrate MP4 X has for that video, so each video gets one download and one file.
Is it legal and safe to download Twitter videos?
MuteView only reads public posts and never asks for your X login, so nothing on your account is touched. Whether you may keep or reuse a video depends on who owns it and the rules where you live, and we can't give legal advice. Your own videos, or ones the poster lets you reuse, are the clear case.
Can I download Twitter videos without a watermark?
Yes. You get the MP4 X itself keeps for the post, and MuteView adds no watermark or logo. A watermark the poster put into the video stays, because it's part of the picture.
Can I download a video from a DM or a quote post?
Not from a DM: messages only open inside a signed-in X account, and MuteView never signs in. In a quote post, this page saves the quote's own video; if the video sits in the quoted post, open that post and paste its link.
Is there a Telegram bot or an app?
No. There's no MuteView Telegram bot, app or browser extension. The downloader is this web page, and it works in the browser on a phone, a tablet or a computer.
Twitter or X: same downloader
Twitter was renamed X in July 2023, and in May 2024 its links moved from twitter.com to x.com. Both kinds of link work here, so an old link saved in a note or a bookmark still opens.
The downloader reads the post the same way a logged-out visitor's browser does, through X's public embed data. You never sign in to X, and nothing is posted or liked from your side.
Which video quality you get
X keeps each video as a few MP4 files at different bitrates, plus a streaming playlist for its own player. MuteView picks the MP4 with the highest bitrate, the sharpest file X has for that video. A video uploaded at low resolution stays that way.
On the @SpaceX sample (0:20), the five MP4s X keeps come to about 74 MB a minute at 4K, 22 MB at 1080p, 6.5 MB at 720p, 2.1 MB at 360p and 0.7 MB at 270p: 720p is under a tenth of the 4K file.
Where the downloaded X video goes
The video saves as one MP4 file, ready to play on any phone, computer or editing app. Its file name starts with x- and a short code, so rename it if you keep many clips.
- On a computer. Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari put it in your Downloads folder. Open the browser's download list to find it in one click.
- On Android. Chrome saves it to the Download folder. Tap the notification when the download finishes, or open it later from the Files app.
- On an iPhone. The file goes to the Files app first, then into Photos (steps above).
Which X links work
- x.com/username/status/ followed by the post number;
- the same link on twitter.com, mobile.twitter.com or mobile.x.com;
- links ending in /video/1, and links with tracking like ?s=20 at the end.
Links from mirror sites such as fxtwitter or vxtwitter are refused. Open the post on x.com and copy the original link.
What MuteView keeps when you save a video
The video passes from X's servers through MuteView straight to your device and is never saved on MuteView's servers. The post's public details and the video's address are kept for one hour; after that, paste the post again for a fresh link.
How to spot an unsafe Twitter video downloader
All an X downloader needs is the post's link. Close the tab if the site:
- asks you to sign in with X or authorize an app on your account;
- wants a browser extension that can "read and change all your data";
- promises videos from protected accounts;
- shows three fake Download buttons around the real one.
Download videos you have the right to keep, such as your own or ones the poster lets you reuse.
Who uses an X video downloader
Saving news clips
A clip of a speech or a goal can be deleted within hours. Save it while the post is up and keep it with the date.
Creators backing up their own posts
Your phone no longer has the original file. Paste your own post link and save a fresh MP4 copy.
Editors and social media teams
A client's video needs to go into a recap or a slide deck. Download it as an MP4 instead of screen-recording.
Watching offline
Long clips eat mobile data. Save them on Wi-Fi and watch later on the train.
