Why MP4?
MP4 with H.264 video and AAC audio is the most compatible video format in the world. It plays on every phone, computer, TV and editing app, with no codecs to install.
X already stores videos as MP4, so SaveXClips hands you the original file, not a lower-quality screen recording.
Choosing a quality
- 1080p: best for big screens, editing and archiving
- 720p: great on phones and laptops at about half the size
- 480p / 360p: smallest files for messaging apps and slow connections
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.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Twitter to MP4 work on Linux?
Yes. SaveXClips runs in Firefox and every other modern browser on Linux, with nothing to install.
Does converting to MP4 reduce quality?
No. There’s no conversion: you download the MP4 that X itself serves.
Why are some videos not available in 1080p?
We list every quality X has. If the uploader posted a 720p video, 720p is the maximum.
Is it legal to download videos from X?
Saving a public video for personal, offline viewing is widely accepted, but the content still belongs to its creator. Don’t re-upload or use it commercially without permission.
