How to Download Twitter Videos on iPhone
iOS won't let you long-press-save a tweet's video the way it saves an image — there's no video file exposed to the OS until you actually download one.
Download only content you own or have permission to use. Public posts only; we store no videos. Responsible use
How it works
No extension and no login. Copy a public X link, paste it above, then save the MP4 X already encoded.

Copy the link on X
Open the tweet or live. Tap Share (or the three dots), then Copy link. Extra bits like ?s=20 are fine — we read the post id.

Download the MP4
Choose 1080p, 720p or a lighter MP4. Or save just the soundtrack as MP3. Lives can be watched first; replay buttons appear when they end.

If Extract finds nothing, the post is private, deleted, or not public media. Open the same link logged out on X to check.
The actual steps on iOS
- In the X/Twitter app or Safari, open the post and tap Share → Copy Link.
- Open Safari, come to this page, and paste the link into the box above, then tap Extract.
- Tap a quality's download button. Safari downloads it in the background — a small arrow icon appears near the address bar when it's done.
- Tap that download icon, then the file, to open it in the Files app — from there you can move it into Photos or share it anywhere else.
Want a one-tap icon on your Home Screen instead of typing the address each time? Add it to your Home Screen — it opens straight to the paste box, no browser chrome.
Lives
Watch while it is live, then save the replay.

FAQ
Why can't I just long-press and save the video like a photo?
Long-press-save only works on an <img>; a tweet's video is a player, not an image element, so iOS has nothing to save from the page itself. You need the actual file first.
Where does the download go on iPhone?
Safari puts it in the Downloads folder inside the Files app by default. From there you can move it into Photos, AirDrop it, or share it to another app.
Do I need to install an app from the App Store?
No. This runs as a normal Safari page — tap Share → Add to Home Screen for a one-tap icon if you'll use it often, nothing to download from the App Store.
