What “HD” means on X
X stores several copies of every video at different resolutions. HD means 720p (1280×720) or Full HD 1080p (1920×1080). Vertical videos have the same pixel counts, just rotated.
SaveXClips shows every copy X has, sorted best first, so the top button is always the highest quality available.

- You get the exact file X serves: no logo, no overlay, no re-encoding
- Audio is included in full quality
- Works for videos, GIFs and live broadcast replays that X provides as MP4
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.
