01The 4 steps at a glance
It takes about a minute the first time and a few seconds after that. Here is the whole process on one screen:
In X, tap Share (↑) under the post → Copy link.
Open Safari → sstik.top and tap Paste.
Tap Download, pick a quality, then confirm Download.
Files → Downloads → tap the video → Share → Save Video.
02Step 1 — Copy the post link in X
Copy the link of the post, not the profile. A profile link (x.com/name) has no video in it.
03Steps 2 & 3 — Download it with Safari
04Step 4 — Move the video to Photos
Safari puts every download in the Files app first. One more tap moves it to your gallery:
Can't find the Downloads folder? Check Settings → Apps → Safari → Downloads (on older iOS: Settings → Safari → Downloads) to see whether files go to iCloud Drive or On My iPhone.
05Save only the sound as MP3
Want just the audio — a speech, a song or a podcast clip? After the video appears on SSTIK, tap Download audio (MP3) under the video button. The MP3 goes to Files → Downloads, where you can play it, share it, or open it in another app.
06GIFs, multi-video posts and iPad
- GIFs: X stores every GIF as a short silent MP4. Download it the same way and use Save Video — it loops in Photos.
- Several videos in one post: SSTIK lists each one, so download them one at a time.
- iPad: the steps are exactly the same in Safari.
- Chrome on iPhone: it also saves to Files. When the download finishes, tap Open in… → Save Video.
- Telegram: send the link to @SSTIKdownloader_bot and save the video it sends back.
07Not working? Quick fixes
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Nothing happens on Download | You are in the X in-app browser. Open the page in Safari and try again. |
| "Invalid link" | Make sure the link has /status/ and a number. Copy it again from Share → Copy link. |
| No video found | The post may be deleted, from a protected account, or marked sensitive (needs a login to view). |
| The video plays instead of saving | Tap Share while it plays and choose Save Video, or long-press the link and pick Download Linked File. |
| Save Video is missing | Wait until the download finishes, then open the file from Files → Downloads and try again. |
