Step-by-step guide
Paste the post link
Copy the link of a public post and paste it above. We read every MP4 size X stores for that video.
Look for the Full HD option
Options are listed from highest to lowest bitrate. Full HD appears when the shorter side of the video is at least 1080 pixels — 1920 × 1080 landscape or 1080 × 1920 vertical.
Download that exact file
The file is X’s own MP4, passed through without re-encoding, and its name ends in -fhd.mp4. Expect roughly 60–80 MB per minute of video.
Check the resolution
On Windows: right-click › Properties › Details › Frame width and height. On a Mac: open it in QuickTime and choose Window › Show Movie Inspector.
Why this is tricky
Many downloaders hand you a 720p or smaller file by default, or re-compress the video and blur fine detail. X often keeps a 1080p MP4 of a post next to the smaller ones; the trick is to pick that exact rendition and save it untouched. When a post has no 1080p version, no tool can create real Full HD detail from it.
Frequently asked questions
X only creates a 1080p version when the uploaded video was at least that sharp. Clips filmed at 720p, screen recordings of small windows and older uploads top out at HD or SD, and we only list sizes that actually exist.
No, and we would not recommend it. Upscaling adds pixels but no detail, makes the file bigger and is often how "HD" downloaders pass off low-quality files. The largest rendition X stores is the sharpest version available.
We list every MP4 rendition X provides for a post. In practice the largest is usually 1080p, so a 4K upload is typically downloadable at 1080p.
For editing, re-posting or watching on a TV or monitor, yes: start from the best source because every re-export compresses again. For quick viewing on a phone, HD (720p) looks nearly identical at about a quarter of the size.
Yes. Full HD refers to 1080 lines on the shorter side, so an upright 1080 × 1920 clip is Full HD. Its shape is kept exactly; nothing is cropped or letterboxed.
