None: one link at a time

Step by step

1. Open the thread. Open the first post and scroll through the replies by the same author.
2. Copy the first video post's link. Share › Copy link on the post that has the video.
3. Extract and download. Paste here, Extract, save the quality you want.
4. Repeat down the thread. Go back to X, copy the next post's link, paste, save. Your recent list keeps track.
5. Sort by name. In your Downloads folder, sort by name: files start with the account and post ID, so they line up in posting order.

Why there is no one-click thread download

To X, a thread is just a series of replies. Reading every reply requires browsing the conversation, which we don't do: we only read the single public post you give us, the way an embed does.

The upside is that nothing is downloaded that you didn't choose, and each file stays traceable to its exact post.

Tips for long threads

• On desktop, open each post in a new tab first (Ctrl/Cmd-click the timestamp), then work through the tabs.
• Quoted videos inside a thread appear as a separate item marked “Quote” on the post that quotes them.
• A post with up to four media items gives you one button set per item, so check the whole result card.
• If the thread author is protected, none of the posts can be read.

Keeping a record of what came from where

When you save a whole thread, it helps to note the URL of the first post next to the files: a short text file in the same folder is enough. The file names already contain each post's ID, so you can rebuild any link later as x.com/i/status/<ID>, but the first post tells future you what the collection was about.

Threads often mix the author's own videos with quoted clips from other accounts. Those quoted clips belong to their original uploaders, so treat them separately if you plan to reuse anything; the result card labels them “Quote” so they're easy to tell apart.

On a phone, the recent-downloads list on our page is a handy checklist: each extracted post appears there with its thumbnail, so you can see at a glance which posts in the thread you have already saved.
