Is X Downloader the perfect alternative to SSSTwitter & Co.?

X – The place of the future Anyone who wants to play is registered. But what if your friends don’t follow along and miss out on the best part? No problem, the solution is here. SSSTwitter has grown into one of the most popular Twitter video downloaders, but are there sites that can compete with this web application? We are convinced that X Downloader is a good alternative and here we prove it.

SSSTwitter aims to download video from X (formerly Twtitter) and has maintained its position as one of the first services of its kind, but are they really that good?

User Interface

The user interface couldn’t be more spartan. You can find your way around straight away on the homepage. The input field for the Twitter video URL is immediately obvious, with the download button underneath it. That’s all you need to get to your destination. If you can’t figure it out, scroll down a bit and find detailed instructions on how to use the web service. If you still have questions, there is an FAQ section directly below the instructions.

Downloading Process

After you have entered the Twitter video URL in the text field above on the homepage – start the download process with the download button below. Within a few seconds you find yourself on the download page, with an advertisement above and countless download buttons with confusing numbers. Unfortunately for the inexperienced user it is not really clear what they stand for. However, everyone has read 1920×1080 when buying a television. This will be good! But what if the video isn’t that big? Then it probably downloads a smaller version.

After selecting the download button, a small advertisement follows and the download begins. That was easy! Reach your destination without any detours.

Lets see how we do it on X Downloader

X-Downloader.com offers a similarly simple way to achieve the goal, but we have thought a little more about what we can offer the user and in which areas we can offer specific solutions. But one by one.

User Interface

As with SSSTwitter, you can find the video URL input field and the associated download button directly on the homepage.

In addition, there is a help button without having to scroll, with which you can directly watch a video instruction and below it a three-step quick guide. Everything at a glance. We kept the design rather simple, but we tried to adapt it to modernity and create a professional atmosphere.

Download Process

As with SSSTwitter, the download process is started via the download button. Without changing the page, a box containing the current download appears directly below the download form. Inside the download box you will find all the important information about the desired video, thumbnail, author etc. then directly a “Download HQ” button, which triggers the video download, an “Add to Dropbox” button to save the video storage space in the cloud save, a “Download MP3” button to request only the audio track of the video and a “Share” button to be able to share the video directly with your friends or people outside of X.

As soon as the download is complete, a feature appears that we cannot find in SSSTwitter. The user is asked whether he would like to follow the author of the video anonymously and whether he would like to be informed about new videos on the profile.

You can also choose whether you want to be informed about all posts or only about certain post types, for example only about video or text posts. With one click you close the window or subscribe to the respective profile.

After Download

After downloading a video or MP3, it is added to a private download history. There you can find all of your previously downloaded videos. This history is only saved on your device and is therefore not visible to third parties.

In the history overview, you can view the video again, visit the author profile and of course empty your history with just one click.

Android App & Plugins

In addition to the web app, X Downloader offers numerous other tools and plugins. We try to cover every use case.

First of all, X Downloader offers an Android app that can download, save, play and share videos and audios in a blink of an eye. In addition to the main functions, you can also find the anonymous subscribe feature in the app. You can also visit the profiles you follow directly in the app and start downloading a post with a convenient button.

For desktop computer users, the X Downloader team has created a plugin for Firefox and Chrome that adds download buttons directly to video posts on X. This means you can download videos from your stream directly while you’re surfing on X.

X Downloader has also thought of bloggers and website operators: For people who like to quote Twitter posts on their website or blog and want to offer their users a way to download the content, there is an official WordPress plugin and a developer API.
