Twitter and X.com under one downloader

After Twitter rebranded to X, every video URL is technically valid under both twitter.com and x.com. The underlying content delivery network is unchanged, which is why dlyt.io treats both hosts identically. Paste either form, and the request is resolved against the same tweet record.

The downloader works on regular video tweets, on quoted tweets with embedded media, on the silent MP4 loops Twitter calls "GIFs", and on the standalone Twitter video player URLs that come from clicking a video in full-screen mode.

Twitter / X URL formats we support

  • Standard tweethttps://twitter.com/USERNAME/status/TWEET_ID and https://x.com/USERNAME/status/TWEET_ID — both work.
  • Direct video playerhttps://twitter.com/i/status/TWEET_ID — the URL the in-app full-screen viewer copies.
  • Embedded mediaTweets containing a single video, the silent MP4 loop labelled as a GIF, or videos attached as a thumbnail in quote-tweets.

About "GIFs" on Twitter

Twitter never actually serves the GIF format on the public timeline. When a user uploads a .gif, the platform transcodes it into a short, silent, looping MP4. That is the file the in-app GIF picker exposes too. dlyt.io downloads that underlying MP4, which gives you a much smaller, sharper file than the source GIF would be — and you keep the loop because MP4 metadata preserves it.

If you genuinely need a GIF for some downstream system, convert the downloaded MP4 with FFmpeg or any standard GIF encoder after the fact. Most modern targets (chat apps, Slack, Discord) prefer the MP4 anyway.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Twitter/X does not actually serve real GIF files — what looks like a GIF in the timeline is an MP4 silent loop. dlyt.io exposes that MP4 directly so you can save the clip.

Yes. twitter.com and x.com are aliases for the same content; both URL hosts resolve to the same tweet record and both work in dlyt.io.

Yes — paste the URL of the specific tweet containing the video. If a thread has multiple video tweets, each tweet is downloaded individually.

Twitter delivers up to the resolution the uploader posted in, typically 720p or 1080p. dlyt.io selects the highest available bitrate by default.

Spaces (audio rooms) and DM video are private session formats that require authentication and are not supported by the public downloader.

Yes — as long as you provide the URL of the tweet that actually contains the media.
