How to download Twitter videos 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.
- Paste and press DownloadPaste the link into the box at the top of this page. SaveXClips finds the video and lists every available quality.
- Save the fileClick the quality you want. Firefox downloads the file and shows it in the downloads panel (Ctrl + Shift + Y).
Where are the videos saved 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.
Save only the audio on Linux
Every video result has an MP3 button, plus an M4A button for the untouched original audio. The conversion runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
The MP3 works in Rhythmbox, Elisa or any player; the M4A is a stream copy of the original AAC, ideal for Audacity edits.
Tips for Linux users
- On a desktop, always grab the top quality. Storage is cheap and large monitors reveal compression.
- SaveXClips needs no yt-dlp, no Python and no terminal. It works right in the browser.
- Flatpak or Snap browsers may be sandboxed to ~/Downloads; that’s where to look first.
- Chromium-based browsers and Firefox both support the in-browser MP3 conversion.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need yt-dlp or a command-line tool on Linux?
No. Paste the link in the browser and download. Everything, including MP3 conversion, happens in the page.
Which player should I use for the videos on Linux?
Any modern player. The files are standard H.264 MP4 with AAC audio, which VLC, mpv and GNOME Videos all play.
Can I download videos from private (protected) accounts?
No. Protected posts are only visible to approved followers, and SaveXClips doesn’t bypass that.
Is SaveXClips free?
Yes. Downloading videos, GIFs, photos and audio is free, with no account and no daily limit.
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.
