Twitter/X is packed with viral videos, news clips, memes, and stunning photography — but there's no built-in download button. SKToolkit lets you save any public tweet's video or photo to your device in seconds, in the highest quality available.

What Can You Download from Twitter/X?

  • Tweet videos (MP4, multiple quality options)
  • Tweet photos (full resolution JPEG)
  • Multi-image tweets (all photos from a single tweet)
  • GIFs posted as tweets (saved as MP4)

Note: SKToolkit only works with public tweets. Protected accounts and private direct messages cannot be downloaded.

Step-by-Step: Download a Twitter/X Video

  1. 1Open Twitter/X and find the tweet with the video you want to save.
  2. 2Click the share icon on the tweet and select 'Copy link to Tweet'.
  3. 3Open sktoolkit.com in your browser.
  4. 4Paste the tweet URL into the input box.
  5. 5Click 'Capture & Download'.
  6. 6Choose your preferred video quality (720p, 480p, 320p) and click Download MP4.

Tip: Twitter/X videos are available in multiple resolutions. SKToolkit shows all available MP4 qualities — always pick the highest (720p) for the best result.

Step-by-Step: Download Twitter/X Photos

  1. 1Copy the tweet URL from the address bar or share menu.
  2. 2Paste it into SKToolkit.
  3. 3All photos from the tweet will appear as individual cards.
  4. 4Click 'Download JPG' on each photo, or use 'Download All as ZIP' if there are multiple.

Video Quality Options Explained

  • 720×1280 (HD) — best quality, larger file size (~2 MB/s bitrate)
  • 480×852 (Medium) — good balance of quality and size
  • 320×568 (Low) — smallest file, useful for slow connections or sharing

What About Twitter/X GIFs?

Twitter/X converts GIFs to MP4 videos internally. When you download a GIF tweet through SKToolkit, you'll receive an MP4 file — which is actually better than a GIF because it's smaller and higher quality.

Does It Work on Mobile?

Yes. SKToolkit works in any mobile browser — Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android. No app installation required. Just open sktoolkit.com, paste the tweet URL, and download.

Is It Legal to Download Twitter/X Videos?

Downloading publicly available content for personal use is generally acceptable. However, you should not redistribute, monetise, or claim ownership of content you didn't create. Always credit the original creator if you share their work.
