rip video from twitter.
Yes, you absolutely can download Twitter videos to your phone and computer. Here's how
We were asked if saving a video from Twitter is possible so you can share the clip without having to send someone a Twitter link.A lot of videos have been circulating on Twitter in the past two weeks, from countless protests in support of the Black Lives Matter movement to the far opposite end of the spectrum: cute dog videos and silly hijinks. When a colleague asked if it's possible to save these videos to the phone or laptop -- for historical reference or to share with family and friends outside of the Twitter bubble, I got to work finding out how.What do you know? It's easy to save a video, once you know how. Here are the tools and steps you'll need to follow to download a Twitter video to your computer, Android phone, iPhone or iPad .
Download Twitter videos to your computer
There are two main websites that make the process of downloading a video posted to Twitter a simple process: Either SaveTweetVid or TwitterVideoDownloader.
Both websites work the same way. You'll need to use the Twitter website to copy the direct link to the tweet that contains the video you want to save, then paste it into the text field on either site, then click download. There's an app for that... on Android
If you want to download the video to your Android phone, the aptly named Download Twitter Videos app will get the job done.
The app is ad-supported, but you can remove the ads through an in-app purchase for 99 cents.
After installing it, open it and go select your preferred settings. I set it to download videos at the highest resolution and to automatically begin downloading when I share or paste a link into the app.
With Download Twitter Videos setup, use the Twitter app to find a tweet that contains the video you want to save. Tap on the Share button and either select Copy link to Tweet or Share Tweet via. If you copied the link, leave the Twitter app, open Download Twitter Videos, and then paste the app into the text field at the top of the screen.
If you tapped on share tweet, look for and tap the Download Twitter Video app icon in the share options. The app will then begin downloading the video in the background.
