About this video

The MP4 is the post's own file, not re-encoded, and the same page links to the post's transcript. In this video we use one public post.

1. 00:00Open the downloader

   Want to keep a video from a post on X, formerly Twitter? Here's how to save it as an MP4 with Transcript. Open the Twitter Video Downloader at transcript.im. It works with links from x dot com and twitter dot com, right in your browser.

2. 00:21Paste a link and see the MP4s

   On X, open the post's share menu and copy the link. Then paste it into the box. The post needs to be public. Click Get Video. First you see what you're about to save: the start of the post, who posted it, and a thumbnail of the video. Below the post, there's a button for each MP4 version the post has. These are the files X itself serves, so nothing is re-encoded. A bigger frame size looks sharper on a large screen. A smaller one makes a lighter file.

3. 01:00Save the MP4

   Here, we pick 360p. The MP4 goes straight to your browser's downloads, and a note under the buttons says so. There's no extra page to click through.

4. 01:11Get the transcript

   Under the sizes there's one more button. Get this video's transcript opens the transcript tool for the same post, so you can read what's said. So that's it. Paste a post link, pick a size, and save the MP4.

5. 01:27Get it free

   Get it free at transcript.im.
