Three ways to download
Pick whichever is fastest for how you use X.
Step 1
Add savethe in front
Type savethe before x.com and keep the rest of the link. savethe + x.com becomes savethex.com, ready to download.
Step 2
Share from mobile
On iOS or Android, share a post to SaveTheX (installed as a home-screen app) and we handle the URL.
Step 3
Choose a quality
Pick the best available MP4, or expand for other resolutions. Ended Live replays are prepared as MP4 on the server first.
How it works
When you open a shortcut link or paste a URL, we validate the public post ID, extract media metadata, and list downloadable qualities. Short-lived signed tokens stream the file so arbitrary URLs are never fetched from the browser. For ended Live replays, the server prepares a finished MP4 before the download starts.
Supported links
Links must include /status/. X hosts and savethe + x.com links both work:
- https://x.com/username/status/123456789
- https://twitter.com/username/status/123456789
- https://savethex.com/username/status/123456789
- https://mobile.twitter.com/username/status/123456789

Does it work on Android?
Yes. Open savethex.com in Chrome, or install the SaveTheX PWA and share posts from the X app into SaveTheX.
Can it download GIFs?

Is it free?
Yes. savethex.com is free for downloading public X / Twitter videos, GIFs, and ended Live replays.
Does it add a watermark?
No. SaveTheX does not burn logos or text into the file. You get the media X already serves for that public post (creator watermarks inside the original video are unchanged).
Can it download private posts?
No. Protected accounts and private posts cannot be accessed. The post must be publicly viewable.
What quality does it support?
SaveTheX lists the useful resolutions available for that post — often 1080p, 720p, 480p, or 360p — based on what X actually serves.
How does the savethe shortcut work?
Add savethe in front of x.com: https://x.com/username/status/ID becomes https://savethex.com/username/status/ID. The rest of the link stays the same. Opening that URL loads SaveTheX with the download ready.
Do I need an account?
No. SaveTheX does not require an X account or a SaveTheX account.
Does this work with twitter.com links?
Yes. Classic twitter.com and newer x.com links both work as long as the post is public and includes media.
