Why use SaveThat for Twitter / X?
Twitter has never added a native video download button, which is genuinely strange given how central video has become to the platform. You can share a video, quote-tweet it, bookmark it, but saving it to your device requires jumping through hoops. SaveThat cuts through that by extracting the highest-quality video stream directly from the tweet.
Twitter (now X) stores videos in multiple quality tiers, typically 360p, 720p, and 1080p depending on what was uploaded. Your browser or app streams whichever quality fits your connection, but the higher-resolution versions are there. We always grab the best available quality rather than whatever happens to be streaming at the moment.
After the rebrand to X, the API situation got complicated and a number of download tools went dark. We route requests through a layer that stays functional as X continues to shuffle its backend. Both twitter.com and x.com links work fine.
On iPhone? There's a step-by-step guide for downloading Twitter videos on iPhone with Safari-specific instructions.
