How to save videos from X to watch offline
A clip on X can vanish when an account is suspended or a post is deleted, and the timeline moves too fast to find it again. If it’s worth keeping, keep a copy.
What X gives you
X’s Bookmarks keep a link to a post, not the video, so they stop working if the post goes. Some paid plans allow saving certain videos inside the X app for offline viewing, but those copies stay inside X and can’t be moved.
With Fetchly
- On the post, tap the share icon and choose Copy link.
- Paste it into Fetchly. x.com, twitter.com and t.co links all work.
- Choose a quality and Save offline. HD is part of Pro; the free tier saves up to 720p.
Choosing a quality
X usually offers several sizes. 720p looks good on a phone or laptop and is typically a quarter of the size of 1080p, which matters if you’re keeping a lot. A post can also hold several videos or images: save them all together or pick some.
Questions
Do old twitter.com links still work?
Yes, along with mobile.twitter.com and short t.co links.
Why does it say no media was found?
The post may have been deleted, may come from a protected account, or may contain only text. Text posts can still be bookmarked.
