Select Quality and Download

Choose your preferred resolution and click the Download button. The video or GIF will save directly to your device.

Pro Tip: Choose 'Download GIF' if the tweet contains an animated GIF.

Why Do Twitter GIFs Download as MP4?

Twitter (X) converts all uploaded GIFs into optimized MP4 video files internally. What looks like a GIF in your timeline is technically a silent looping MP4.

AyFetch provides both options: download the original MP4 loop, or use our Twitter GIF Downloader tool to get it in standard GIF format.

Can I Save Videos from Twitter DMs?

AyFetch can only download videos from public tweets visible without logging in. Videos shared privately in Twitter DMs require authentication and cannot be accessed by external downloaders.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions & Troubleshooting

Why does the downloaded Twitter video have no sound?

If a downloaded Twitter video is silent, it is likely a GIF-converted video. Twitter GIFs are always silent looping clips. For tweet videos with dialogue or music, use the MP4 download option.

Can I download Twitter Spaces recordings?

Twitter Spaces audio recordings are only accessible to logged-in users. Public tweet-embedded videos and GIFs are supported by AyFetch without login.

Is it safe to use a Twitter video downloader?

Yes. AyFetch does not require your Twitter credentials, never stores your data, and operates directly in your browser.
