Troubleshooting Common Issues
Solutions to the most common download problems
Why can't I download a video?
If you can't download a video, it might be because: (1) The tweet is from a private or protected account - we only support public tweets, (2) The video has been deleted by the user, (3) The URL is incorrect - make sure you copied the full tweet URL including the status ID, (4) Twitter's servers are temporarily unavailable. Try again in a few minutes.
Private video download issues
We cannot download videos from private or protected Twitter accounts. This is a security measure to respect user privacy. Only public tweets with public videos can be downloaded. If you have permission to view the video, make sure the account is set to public before attempting to download.
Video quality is low
Always select the HD (High Definition) option when available. If only SD quality is shown, it means the original video was uploaded in lower quality. TwLoad always provides the highest quality available from Twitter's servers. For best results, look for tweets with HD indicators.
Download button not working
If the download button doesn't work: (1) Check your internet connection, (2) Disable browser extensions that might block downloads, (3) Try a different browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari), (4) Clear your browser cache and cookies, (5) Make sure JavaScript is enabled in your browser settings.
Video plays but won't download
Some browsers block automatic downloads. Right-click on the download link and select 'Save link as...' or 'Download linked file'. On mobile devices, long-press the download link and choose 'Download' from the context menu. This ensures the download starts properly.
