Twitter, which has the highest diffusion power among social networking services and gathers a lot of real-time information, is used by users of all ages, especially young people.
Twitter offers the advantage of being able to quickly find related tweets when you casually search for your hobbies and interests, but have you ever experienced that images and videos you like are set to not be saved, so even if you want to download them, you cannot realize it because there is no function to save them on that screen?
In this paper, we will explain how to save twitter videos for each of PC, iPhone, and Android devices. All of them are free to use.
How to save twitter videos - 3 steps
STEP 1: Get the link to the tweet that contains the video.
STEP 2. install the dedicated application on your phone (on a PC, access the web tool).
STEP 3. paste the obtained link and save the video from the preview screen.
While a long press on an image or text on twitter will bring up the "save" menu, a long press on a video will not save it. So, once you have downloaded the twitter video, you will need an external tool.
To use such external software or application, you must prepare the link of the twitter video you want to download in advance. We will explain how to get the link first.
How to get a link to a Twitter video
To obtain the link to a video from the Twitter timeline, simply tap (or click) the "Copy Link" button on the Share button of the Twitter browser or Twitter application (iPhone or Android). The operation screen for each is as follows.
iPhone] Twitter application
Android] Twitter App
PC] Browser version of Twitter
STEP 2. and STEP 3. are explained in detail for each of PC, iPhone, and Android devices.
How to save twitter videos on PC
To save Twitter videos on PC, it is common to use external web tools. There are several ways to do this, but we will focus mainly on "TwiDropper" and "Syncer" here.
TwiDropper - for all iPhone/Android/PC
TwiDropper is a free web tool for downloading Twitter videos and can be used on iPhone and Android phones as well as PCs. You can save them to your device's storage as well as to Dropbox, a cloud storage service that saves storage space.
If you log in to your Twitter account, you can save videos, GIFs, and images sent to you via private account (key account) or direct message (DM). You can also choose from three levels of image quality (HD/high quality, SD/medium quality, and LD/low quality).
Each destination is set as standard in the following places. (except to Dropbox)
PC: The folder set as the download destination in the browser.
iPhone: The "Downloads" folder in the "iCloud Drive" folder in the "File" app. Or Photo Library.
Android: "Download" folder in "Google Photos" or "Files" app.
Below are detailed instructions using a PC web browser as an example.
(The operation is basically the same for the combination of iPhone and Safari, and Android and Chrome.)

Syncer -URL converter for saving Twitter videos
Syncer Syncer is a word coined from SYNC and ER, meaning "a blog that synchronizes knowledge and inspiration. It is also said to express the desire to evolve (sync) together with everyone.

Of course, Syncer "URL Converter" also allows you to select from three levels of image quality.

If you are an iPhone user, we recommend the applications "Clipbox+", "Dropbox", and "Twiclip" for saving twitter videos, all of which are basically free and without login.
Here, we will mainly focus on "Clipbox+".
Clipbox+ - a viewer app that works on the iPhone
Clipbox+ is a viewer application that allows users to search for videos and watch saved videos, etc. It can be used to view documents such as PDFs as well as files in various formats. It is a great feature. It can also be used on android devices, so if you are an android user, you may want to install it.

3. How to save twitter videos on Android
TwiDropper", "Syncer - URL converter for saving Twitter videos", and "Clipbox+" are all available for Android devices. There are many other apps for saving twitter videos. The three I use most often are "Fubon", "TottoPen", and "Twitter Video Saves (TwiTake)". Each has its own features, but the one we recommend the most here is "Twitter Video Saver (TwiTake)".
Twitter Video Storing Machine (TwiTake)" - 100% free application

Notes on saving twitter videos
If you download twitter videos using external tools or apps, you can watch them offline at any time. While there is no problem in principle to enjoy them privately, it is possible to violate the law depending on how you handle them, so please be careful.
Uploading saved videos without the contributor's permission is dangerous. It is an infringement of copyright and may result in criminal penalties. It is also dangerous to make a new video from a saved video.
In 2021, the scope of illegal downloading was expanded to include not only videos, but also comics and books.
