Video Downloading

Download videos and GIFs from X/Twitter posts — no API key needed.

Script Selection

Goal File Navigate to
Download video from current tweet src/videoDownloaderBrowser.js Tweet page (x.com/user/status/ID)
Batch download multiple videos src/videoDownloaderBrowser.js Any page
Download video info only (no save) src/videoDownloaderBrowser.js Tweet page
Download via script (non-browser) scripts/videoDownloader.js N/A (run in console)
Download via API api/routes/video.js POST /api/video/download

Quick Start

  1. Navigate to a tweet with a video: x.com/user/status/123456
  2. Open DevTools (F12) → Console
  3. Paste src/videoDownloaderBrowser.js → Enter

Available Functions

After pasting src/videoDownloaderBrowser.js:

js
downloadCurrent()                   // Download video from current tweet page
downloadFromUrl('https://x.com/..') // Navigate to tweet URL and download
downloadGif()                       // Download GIF (GIFs are MP4 on X)
batchDownload(['url1', 'url2', ..]) // Download videos from multiple tweet URLs
getVideoInfo()                      // Show video metadata without downloading

Configuration

js
const CONFIG = {
  QUALITY: 'highest',       // 'highest', 'lowest', 'all'
  AUTO_DOWNLOAD: true,      // Auto-trigger browser download
  SHOW_ALL_QUALITIES: true  // Show all available quality options
};

Quality Options

Setting Behavior
'highest' Downloads best resolution (default)
'lowest' Downloads smallest file size
'all' Shows all available bitrates to choose from

Notes

  • Videos on X are served as MP4; GIFs are also stored as MP4
  • Quality options depend on what X uploaded — not all tweets have multiple qualities
  • Batch download respects delays between requests to avoid rate limits
  • getVideoInfo() shows tweet ID, author, and all available video URLs before committing to a download
