The post's video, on its own
The result is the media file attached to the post. Images and text are not converted into anything, so a post without a video has nothing to download.
X (Twitter)
X and Twitter video downloader
Paste a post's link and SniffVid returns the video file that post carries. Only one of our parser backends answers for X today, so this is the slowest of the four platforms — expect the parse to take a little longer than usual.

What downloading from X (Twitter) involves
Slower than the other platforms
Five of our six backends decline X links, so a request travels further down the chain before one succeeds. Every earlier attempt has to finish or time out first, and that shows up as a longer wait.
No cover image
X results come back without a thumbnail, so the result panel shows the post title and the track list only.
How to copy a link from X (Twitter)
- 1
Copy the link from the post
Tap the ⋯ menu on the post and choose Copy link. On the web the same menu sits in the corner of the post, and the address bar gives the same result.
- 2
Paste it and give it a moment
Press Get Download Links and let it finish. X is the slowest platform here because most backends decline it, so waiting beats pressing the button again.
- 3
Save the file
The post's video is returned on its own. There is no cover image, and in most cases no second track to merge, so saving is one click.
Which links work best
Those are the shapes worth pasting. SniffVid accepts any other public http(s) link too — whether it resolves is up to the source, so a profile, a search page or a private post simply comes back empty.
- x.com/{user}/status/{id}
- twitter.com/{user}/status/{id}
What people save from X (Twitter)
A clip inside a thread
Threads dissolve into the timeline. A saved copy is easier to cite, quote or show to someone who missed it.
Reference footage
Keep a demo or a launch clip next to the notes you are writing about it.
Your own posts
Archive the media you published, without depending on the account staying online.
Material for an edit
An editor cannot reach inside a post; a local file it can import is the point.
X (Twitter) questions
Other platforms
SniffVid resolves links from far more sites than these four. If yours is not listed, paste it anyway — the parsers decide what they can reach.
