How to Download X Videos on PC and Mac

Desktop is the fastest path because you can copy the full URL. No extension needed. Paste the public X link in Media Wrangler, preview, choose quality and save.

Step 1: Copy the exact post URL

On x.com open the single post page. Copy from the address bar: x.com/handle/status/123456 . Do not copy a search results link or a profile link. For a post that is a repost, open the original.

Step 2: Paste and preview on Media Wrangler

Go to Media Wrangler , paste, click Preview. You get title, uploader, duration, extractor and heights. Preview costs nothing and helps you decide if you need HD.

Step 3: Choose quality and save

SD is free and direct. 720p, 1080p and MP3 require sign in and credits that never expire. Pick one, click Download, the MP4 lands in your browser Downloads folder. Use the highest height the preview listed.

When it fails

• Protected or login-gated: incognito test fails : not downloadable.
• Live or Spaces: not supported; those are streaming, not public MP4.
• Short link: paste the resolved x.com link if a t.co short link gives an error.
