X downloader: save X.com videos in seconds
X (formerly Twitter) does not include a built-in download button for videos. SaveBird is a free, browser-based X downloader: paste a link, choose a quality, save. There is nothing to install. This page explains what an 'X downloader' actually does, what limits the platform places on it, and how SaveBird handles each one.
Step by step
- Find the X post you want to save and copy its URL.
- Open SaveBird and paste the URL into the box.
- Press Download. You will see the post preview plus available qualities.
- Choose 1080p (or the highest available) and the file saves to your device.
FAQ
- Can SaveBird download from private accounts?
- No. SaveBird only works with publicly visible posts. Private accounts require a follower relationship, which would mean logging in — SaveBird never asks for your credentials.
- Can it download a thread or just one post at a time?
- One post at a time. Paste one URL, get the video from that post.
- Does it work for live videos or Spaces?
- Not yet. SaveBird supports recorded video posts. Live streams and Spaces audio are out of scope.
