6 Proven Ways to Download Twitter Videos for Offline Viewing

Twitter, now called X, is one of the busiest social media platforms where you will often see videos worth keeping for later. The problem is that you cannot just right-click on an image since there is no built-in save option. The question now is, is it still possible to save Twitter video for offline viewing? Of course! You can still download it using third-party tools, which we will provide in this write-up with steps.

Part 1. Why Can't I Download Twitter Videos

Are you tapping around looking for a save button to save a video from Twitter? Unfortunately, you will not find one.

If you want to save a video, you will need to use outside tools or apps that can grab it for you, which you will discover in the following parts.
