Everything you need to download X.
One paste, and it’s yours, at the quality and format you want.
Save video from any post
Paste the link to a post with video and Vidferry saves an MP4. Pick Best for the quality the poster uploaded, or step down to keep the file small.
GIFs come down as clean MP4
What X calls a GIF is really a short, silent MP4. Vidferry saves that file directly, so it stays smooth instead of turning into a choppy image.
Pull just the audio
For a video post you only want to hear, switch to MP3 or M4A and Vidferry keeps the sound and drops the picture.
Private and on your machine
It all runs locally. No account, no ads, no telemetry. What you pull off X stays yours.
An X downloader that keeps the clip, not the noise
A good video on X scrolls past fast and gets buried under replies. Vidferry lifts it straight out: paste the post link and it saves the video as an MP4 to a folder you pick. It runs as a small app on your Mac or PC, so there’s no ad-covered site reading what you paste, no account, and nothing sent off your machine.
Links from x.com and twitter.com both resolve, because underneath it’s the same video. Vidferry reads the streams and merges them into one MP4 (H.264 video, AAC audio) that plays everywhere.
Videos, GIFs, and the sound
X treats GIFs as short, silent MP4s rather than real image files, which is why saving one from a browser often gives you a mangled still. Vidferry keeps the actual MP4, so a reaction clip stays smooth. For a normal video post where you only care about the audio, switch to MP3 or M4A and it saves the sound alone.
Signed in? It can ferry that too
Some posts only play when you’re logged in: sensitive-flagged clips, age-restricted media, video from an account you follow that’s set to protected. In Settings, point Vidferry at the browser you use for X, and it uses that session to fetch them. The cookies stay on your machine, and it won’t reach anything you can’t already watch yourself.
