How to Download Twitter/X Videos on Windows (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox)

By The xfetchy team · June 1, 2026 · 5 min read

Windows doesn't have X's video in any special native app, which actually makes things simple — you just use a browser. The whole process takes about 15 seconds and the file ends up in your Downloads folder exactly where you'd expect it.

Step by step (Chrome, Edge, or Firefox)

  • On X, open the post and click the share iconCopy link, or right-click the post URL in the address bar.
  • Open xfetchy.com in your browser.
  • Paste the link — it should auto-populate. Click Fetch.
  • Pick your resolution (1080p is the best for most clips) and click Download.
  • The file saves to Downloads (find it in File Explorer with Ctrl + J in Chrome, or check the downloads bar at the bottom of Edge).

Playing the downloaded video

The file is an MP4, which opens in the Movies & TV app or Windows Media Player. For better playback — especially 4K files — VLC Media Player handles any format flawlessly and is a free download from videolan.org. For editing, drop the MP4 straight into Clipchamp, DaVinci Resolve, or Adobe Premiere.

Best quality on Windows

On a full desktop screen you'll notice quality differences more than on mobile, so it pays to grab the best the post offers. Use the HD downloader for 1080p, or the 4K downloader on the rare posts that were uploaded at 4K.

Common Windows questions

  • Where exactly is the file? Press Win + E to open File Explorer, then click Downloads in the left panel.
  • The file won't open. Install VLC — it plays any MP4.
  • I want just the audio. Use the MP3 extractor and the file saves as an MP3 you can play in any music app.
  • Nothing shows up after pasting. Make sure the link contains `/status/` — profile and search URLs won't work.

Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for. Open xfetchy and paste the link. See the complete guide for every format and device.
