How to Download Twitter/X Videos on Chromebook
Free · Updated May 2026
ChromeOS is built around the browser, which makes xfetchy a perfect fit — there is nothing to install from the Play Store and no extension to add. A downloaded Twitter or X video lands in your Files app, ready to view offline.
Save any clip in a few seconds with these steps.
- 1Open the tweet with the video in Chrome.
- 2Copy the URL from the address bar.
- 3Navigate to xfetchy.com and paste the URL.
- 4Click Fetch, select your quality, then Download.
- 5Files save to your Downloads folder in the Files app.
Where ChromeOS saves downloads
Downloads land in My files → Downloads inside the ChromeOS Files app. The important thing to know: this folder lives locally on the Chromebook — it isn't synced to your Google account, and a Powerwash (factory reset) erases everything in it. For anything you want to keep long-term, drag the file into Google Drive in the same Files app sidebar so it survives a reset and follows you to other devices.
Managing limited storage
Many Chromebooks ship with only 32–64 GB, and a 1080p clip can run 100–300 MB. If the Downloads folder fills up, ChromeOS will warn you — move older videos to Drive or an SD card to free space. To watch a Drive video offline later, right-click it in Files and toggle Available offline, and ChromeOS keeps a local copy until you turn it back off.
Chromebook-specific notes
- No Play Store app needed — xfetchy runs in the Chrome browser every Chromebook already has.
- Android and Linux files are separate. A download from Chrome won't appear inside an Android app's storage unless you move it across in the Files app.
- MP4 plays natively in the built-in Gallery player — double-click the file to watch it offline.
