How to Download X (Twitter) Videos on Android
Android makes saving X videos noticeably easier than iPhone does, because mobile browsers like Chrome can write files straight to your storage. There's still no download button inside the X app itself, but a browser-based tool fills that gap in a few taps — and the finished MP4 shows up right in your Gallery.
Save an X video on Android in 4 steps
- Open the post in the X app, tap Share, and choose "Copy link".
- Open Chrome (or your preferred browser) and go to twitxdown.com. Paste the link into the box.
- Choose your resolution — 360p, 720p, or 1080p when the uploader provided it — and tap Download.
- The MP4 saves to your Downloads folder. Most phones also surface it in the Gallery/Photos app under a Downloads album.
Where did my video go?
Tap the download notification to open it instantly, or find it later in Files/My Files → Downloads. If it doesn't appear in your Gallery straight away, opening it once usually prompts the phone to index it into your photo library.
If Chrome asks for permission
The first time you download a file, some Android browsers ask permission to save to storage — tap Allow. If a download is blocked, check that you're not in a data-saver or "Lite" mode that pauses large transfers, then try again.
Tips for Android downloads
- Copy the link to the exact post that contains the video, including replies.
- Downloads are standard MP4 (H.264), so they play in any Gallery or video app.
- Animated "GIFs" on X are silent MP4 clips and download as .mp4 — they still loop.
- On a slow connection, pick a lower resolution for a smaller, faster file.
