Common questions
Do x.com and twitter.com links both work?
Yes. Paste the full status URL from either domain. The post must be public — protected accounts will not resolve.
What URL shape do I need for X downloads?
Copy a link with /status/ and a numeric post ID — not a profile, search, or hashtag page. Example: x.com/username/status/TWEET_ID.
Can I download media from a quote tweet?
Open the original post that contains the video or image, then copy that post's status URL. Quote-tweet pages may not list the attachment you want.
Why do GIFs save as MP4?
X serves animated GIFs as MP4 video. The preview on SMDownloader shows them as video — that matches what the platform exposes.
Mobile vs desktop copy steps?
On mobile, tap Share → Copy link under the post. On desktop, copy the browser address bar or use Share → Copy link — both work on SMDownloader.
Where is the X downloader page?
Paste the status URL on www.smdownloader.com or open /platforms/x-twitter for format-specific FAQs and the paste field.
