Downloading Twitter Videos on iPhone

On iPhone Safari, the video may open in a new browser tab instead of downloading automatically. When this happens, press and hold the video on screen and tap Save Video or Download Linked File depending on your iOS version.

Downloading Twitter Videos on Android

On Android Chrome, the video should download automatically to your Downloads folder when you tap the download button. Open your Files or Downloads app to find it and move it to your gallery.

Can I Download Twitter GIFs?

Yes. Twitter GIFs are stored as MP4 video files on Twitter servers. You can download them using QuikVid just like regular videos — paste the tweet link and click download.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does only one quality option show for Twitter videos?

Twitter often provides only a single quality level per video. If only one download option appears, that is the best and only quality available from that tweet.

Can I download Twitter Spaces recordings?

Twitter Spaces recordings are audio-only and are not currently supported by QuikVid. Only tweet videos and GIFs can be downloaded.

The video download failed — what should I try?

Make sure the tweet is from a public account. Try copying the link directly from the browser address bar. If the issue continues, try our main video downloader page.
