Quality Options

Twitter/X encodes videos at multiple bitrates. When you download, you will typically see options like:

• 1080p — highest quality (when available)
• 720p — HD, good balance of quality and file size
• 480p — acceptable for small screens

Always choose the highest quality available unless you have storage constraints.

What Does Not Work

• Videos from protected/private accounts — require login to even view
• Twitter Spaces (audio rooms) — not downloadable via standard methods
• Videos behind X Premium paywall — may be restricted to subscribers only
