Does this work in Firefox or Safari, not just Chrome?

Yes — SaveNowX is a website, not a browser-specific tool, so it works the same in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari on desktop.

Do I need to install anything on Windows or Mac?

No. The desktop flow is identical to mobile — paste the post's link into the box on savenowx.com and download. Nothing installs unless you specifically want the optional Chrome extension.

Where does the video actually save on my computer?

By default, wherever your browser normally saves downloads — File Explorer's Downloads folder on Windows, or Finder's Downloads folder on Mac.

How to Download X (Twitter) Videos on PC or Mac

By SaveNowX · September 29, 2026

Part of the complete guide to downloading X/Twitter videos.

The process is identical to mobile: paste the X post's link into the box on savenowx.com in any desktop browser, pick a quality, and download the file that appears. There's no separate desktop version or extra software.

The steps

Open the X post with the video, and copy its link — either from the browser address bar if you're already viewing the post directly, or via the post's own Share option.
Go to savenowx.com and paste the link into the box.
Click Get video, then pick a quality.
Click the download button for that quality — it saves through your browser's normal download flow, same as any other file.

Works the same across Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari

SaveNowX is a website, not a piece of software tied to one browser — there's no "Windows version" or "Mac version" to pick. Whichever desktop browser you already use handles it the same way, since the actual work (finding and serving the video) happens on SaveNowX's side, not in browser-specific code.

Where the file actually goes

Desktop browsers default to a Downloads folder — File Explorer on Windows, Finder on Mac — same as any file you'd download from anywhere else. If a browser is set to "ask where to save each file," you'll see that prompt instead. For the exact folder paths and keyboard shortcuts to jump straight to your downloads list on each browser, see the full breakdown by device — no need to repeat it here.

If something doesn't work

Desktop issues are usually the same handful of causes as anywhere else — an invalid link, a private account, or a post that's been deleted. The general troubleshooting guide covers all of them. If you're specifically looking for the mobile steps instead, see the iPhone/Android guide.

Prefer not to copy-paste a link at all? SaveNowX also doesn't require an account or app on desktop either — the whole point of the tool is that there's nothing extra to set up first.

Try it here from whatever browser you've got open right now.
