What is SSTIK Twitter Video Downloader?
SSTIK is a free online Twitter video downloader (now X video downloader) that lets you save videos and GIFs from public posts to your phone or computer as MP4 files. X doesn't offer a download button for most videos — bookmarks only keep a link inside the app, and the video disappears if the post is deleted. SSTIK gives you a real file you can keep, watch offline or use in your own projects (with permission).
There's nothing to install and no account to connect. You paste the post's link, SSTIK finds every video file attached to it, and you choose the quality you want. It works the same on Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows, Mac and Linux.
How to copy the link of a tweet
- In the X app: tap the Share icon (the arrow pointing up) under the post, then Copy link.
- On x.com: click the Share icon under the post and choose Copy link, or click the post's timestamp and copy the URL from the address bar.
- From a reply or quote: open that post on its own first, then copy its link — otherwise you'll copy the parent post.
A correct link looks like x.com/username/status/1234567890 or twitter.com/username/status/1234567890. Links with ?s=20 or other extra text at the end work fine.
How to download Twitter videos on Android
- Open the X app and find the post with the video.
- Tap Share → Copy link.
- Open Chrome and go to sstik.top/x.
- Tap Paste, then Download.
- Pick a quality. The MP4 is saved to Downloads and shows up in your Gallery.
How to download Twitter videos on iPhone & iPad
- In the X app, tap Share → Copy link.
- Open Safari and visit sstik.top/x.
- Paste the link, tap Download and confirm in the Safari pop-up.
- Open Files → Downloads, tap the video, then Share → Save Video to add it to Photos.
Use Safari rather than the browser inside the X app, which may block downloads.
How to download Twitter videos on PC & Mac
- On x.com, click the post's timestamp to open it, then copy the URL (Ctrl/⌘ + C).
- Go to sstik.top/x, paste it and click Download.
- Choose a quality. If the video plays in a new tab, right-click it and choose Save video as….
How to download Twitter GIFs
X converts every GIF into a short, silent MP4 video so it loads faster. That's why SSTIK saves GIFs as MP4. The file loops in most players and can be shared anywhere a video is accepted. If you need a real .gif file (for example for a forum signature), you can convert the MP4 with any free video-to-GIF tool.
Troubleshooting
"Invalid link" or nothing found
Make sure the link contains /status/ followed by a number. A link to a profile or a search page won't work.
Protected or private account
Posts from protected accounts are only visible to approved followers, so they can't be downloaded.
Age-restricted or sensitive media
Some posts marked as sensitive require a logged-in account to view, so the video may not be available.
The post was deleted
If the author deleted the post or their account, the video is no longer on X's servers.
Download opens a player instead of saving
Right-click (desktop) or long-press (mobile) the video and choose Download or Save video.
Tips
- Pick the highest quality for big screens and a lower one on mobile data.
- Rename files after downloading so you can find them later.
- Download news clips quickly — posts can be deleted at any time.
- Credit the original poster and ask permission before re-uploading their video.
Is SSTIK safe?
Yes. SSTIK never asks for your X password, needs no app or extension, and doesn't store the videos you download. Files come straight from X's own media servers to your device.
