FAQ
X (Twitter) video downloader questions
How do I download a video from X (Twitter)?
Install the free SnipAstra Chrome extension, open x.com, hover the video in the post and click Download. Pick the quality first if you like.
Does it still work on twitter.com links?
Yes. SnipAstra works on both x.com and twitter.com in Chrome.
Can I choose the video quality?
Yes. The bar on each video shows the qualities X provides for it, so you can pick the highest or a smaller file.
Can I save only part of an X video?
Yes. Click Clip, drag the handles to the exact start and end, and save just that part.
Why do some X videos drift out of sync in my editor, and how does SnipAstra fix it?
Social video often has a variable frame rate. Choose Edit-ready MP4 and SnipAstra saves a constant frame rate with 48 kHz audio, so it stays in sync in Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro.
Is anything uploaded?
No. Downloading and trimming happen in your browser, and no account is needed.
