How to use it on Linux
- Copy the post linkOn x.com, open the post, click the Share icon under it and choose “Copy link”, or simply copy the address from the browser bar.
- Open SaveXClips in FirefoxGo to savexclips.com in Firefox on your Linux. Any modern browser works; Firefox is just the default.

- Save the fileClick the quality you want. Firefox downloads the file and shows it in the downloads panel (Ctrl + Shift + Y).
Original size, not the preview
X shows a resized preview in the timeline. SaveXClips requests the original file, which is the largest version X stores, often up to 4096 px wide.
Posts with up to four images show each one separately, so you can download the ones you want.
Where the files go on Linux
Files land in ~/Downloads unless you’ve set a different folder in your browser settings.
MP4 files play in VLC, mpv or GNOME Videos, and import into Kdenlive, Shotcut or OBS.
Linux tip
On a desktop, always grab the top quality. Storage is cheap and large monitors reveal compression.
