What is a video thumbnail?
Every video on X has a poster frame, the still image shown before you press play. It’s usually chosen automatically from the video, sometimes set by the uploader.
SaveXClips shows the thumbnail next to every video result, with a button to download it as a full-size JPG.
Where the files go on Android
Android stores the file in the Downloads folder. Open it from the Files (or My Files) app, or tap the download notification.
Gallery and Google Photos pick up videos in Downloads automatically on most phones, sometimes under an album called “Download”.
Android tip
On a phone, 720p is usually the sweet spot: sharp on a 6-inch screen and roughly half the size of 1080p.
