How to use it on Steam Deck
- Copy the post linkSwitch to Desktop Mode, open x.com in a browser (Firefox is available from the Discover store), open the post and choose Share › Copy link.
- Open SaveXClips in FirefoxGo to savexclips.com in Firefox on your Steam Deck. Any modern browser works; Firefox is just the default.

- Save the fileClick the quality you want. The browser downloads the file to your home folder’s Downloads directory.
Why M4A is the lossless choice
X encodes every video’s soundtrack as AAC and serves it in an MP4 audio container, which is exactly what an .m4a file is. SaveXClips stitches those pieces together into one file without touching the audio data.
No re-encoding means no quality loss and no waiting: an M4A download finishes as soon as the data arrives.
Where M4A files play
- iPhone, iPad and Mac: Files, Music, QuickTime, GarageBand
- Android: every modern music player and the Files app
- Windows: Media Player, VLC, foobar2000 and every editor
- Editing apps: Audacity, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Logic
Where the files go on Steam Deck
In Desktop Mode, downloads go to /home/deck/Downloads, reachable from the Dolphin file manager.
A downloaded clip can become a custom startup movie once converted to WebM and copied to ~/.steam/root/config/uioverrides/movies.
Steam Deck tip

Frequently asked questions
Does the Twitter to M4A work on Steam Deck?
Yes. SaveXClips runs in Firefox and every other modern browser on Steam Deck, with nothing to install.
Is M4A better than MP3?
For audio from X, yes: it’s the original stream. MP3 is a re-encode, only better for very old devices.
Can I rename the .m4a to .mp3?
No, renaming doesn’t convert the file. Use our MP3 option if you need a real MP3.
Does SaveXClips store the videos I download?
No. Files come straight from X’s own servers to your device, and audio conversion happens in your browser.
