How to download X (Twitter) videos as MP4
Stillo is a browser tool: paste the link to a post with a video on X (formerly Twitter), check the title and thumbnail, then save it as MP4 or MP3. No installation or account is needed. Use it for your own videos or videos you have permission to save, up to 10 minutes long.
01Download in three steps
- Open the video on X and copy its URL from the address bar. It looks like
https://x.com/username/status/1234567890:/status/followed by a number.twitter.comURLs also work. - Paste it on the Stillo home page. The video title, length and thumbnail appear, so you can check it is the right video.
- Choose Best available, 1080p or 720p (or MP3 for audio only). Select “Start download”, keep the page open while the file is prepared, then save it from your browser.
02Which URLs work
Use the page of a single post in the form x.com/username/status/number (twitter.com also works). These URLs do not work as they are:
t.coshort links. Open the linked post and copy thex.com/username/status/numberURL instead.- Profile, search, list, community and other listing pages
If you paste a URL that does not work, Stillo shows “Enter a video or reel URL from a supported site. Profile and listing pages are not supported.”
03When an X video can’t be saved
- Posts without a video: image-only or text-only posts have no video to save.
- Deleted or non-existent posts: Stillo shows “This video could not be found. It may have been deleted or made private, or the URL may be incorrect.”
- Posts from protected accounts or posts that need a login: Stillo handles public posts that can be viewed without logging in.
- Videos longer than 10 minutes: the current limit is 10 minutes.
04What we measured
On September 30, 2026, a public post with a video of about 31 seconds was ready as a 720p (1280×720) MP4 in about 8 seconds. We repeated the test on October 12, 2026 with the same post: the 720p MP4 (about 4.4 MB, 31 seconds) was ready in about 9 seconds and played back normally. The resolution of the posted video is the upper limit. The detailed results are on the test results page (Japanese).
05Quality and length
MP4 can be saved as Best available, 1080p or 720p. Best available saves the highest quality Stillo can retrieve from the original video on X (up to 1080p). 1080p and 720p work only when the video has a picture of exactly that height. If it does not, Stillo shows “The selected format is unavailable. Try another quality.” In that case, choose Best available. Stillo cannot make the picture sharper than the original. It handles single videos up to 10 minutes; playlists and series cannot be saved in one go.
