X's media formats, decoded

Twitter/X stores media in ways that surprise people. Knowing the quirks saves you from "why did I get this file?" moments.

"GIFs" on X are actually MP4 videos

When someone posts a GIF, X converts it to a small looping MP4 for bandwidth reasons. So when you download one with SnapDown, you correctly get an .mp4 file β€” that IS the original. If you need a literal .gif, convert the MP4 afterwards with any converter.

Every video exists in multiple bitrates

X encodes each upload into several MP4 variants (typically ~320p, ~480p, ~720p, and 1080p for high-quality sources) and serves the smallest one your connection tolerates. SnapDown lists the variants and defaults to the highest bitrate, so your download is usually sharper than what you saw in the timeline.

x.com, twitter.com, and t.co all work

Paste any of the three URL families β€” including shortened t.co links from DMs and the old twitter.com format that many apps still generate. For multi-video threads, paste the link of the specific post whose media you want; each post's photos, GIFs, and videos are extracted individually.

Twitter Download FAQ

On the Twitter app: tap the share icon on the tweet, then 'Copy Link'. On desktop: click the share icon or copy the URL from your browser's address bar. Both twitter.com and x.com URLs work.

Yes. SnapDown runs entirely in your browser and our server. We don't ask for your Twitter login, don't install anything on your device, and don't store your downloaded content or personal information.

Open this page in Safari, paste the tweet URL, and tap Download. Safari will show a download icon in the top-right. Tap it, then tap the file to save it to your Photos app. On iOS 13+, it saves directly to Files.

We extract the highest quality available from Twitter's servers β€” typically 1280x720 (HD) or 1920x1080 (Full HD). The exact quality depends on what the uploader posted. We never re-encode or compress.

Yes. Twitter internally converts all GIFs to MP4 video. We download that original MP4 file, which gives you better quality and smaller file size than a true GIF format.

Absolutely. Twitter rebranded to X in 2023, but both twitter.com/username/status/123 and x.com/username/status/123 URLs work identically. We also support t.co short links.

No. Only public tweets can be downloaded. If the account is private or protected, Twitter's API doesn't expose the media. You'd need to be logged in and have access.

We allow 10 downloads per 15 minutes per user to keep the service fast for everyone. There's no daily or monthly cap beyond that.

Twitter stores all 'GIFs' as MP4 videos internally. The MP4 is actually higher quality and smaller file size. If you need a true GIF, you can convert the MP4 using any online converter.

Currently we download media from individual tweets. Paste each tweet URL separately to download videos from different tweets in a thread.
