Download X Video installs straight from this page. It opens full screen like an app, keeps working offline, and takes about as much space as a photo.
Your browser does not offer a one-tap install. The manual steps for Safari, Chrome and Firefox are below and take about ten seconds.
Nothing is downloaded from a store and no permissions are requested. The install uses the same files your browser already loaded to show you this page.
Safari and Firefox do not offer a one-tap install, so the route differs slightly per browser. All three take a few seconds.
Open this page in Safari, tap the Share icon at the bottom, scroll down and choose Add to Home Screen.
In Chrome, tap the three-dot menu and choose Install app, or Add to Home screen on older versions.
In Chrome or Edge, click the install icon at the right of the address bar, then confirm.
Firefox does not install web apps. Bookmark the page instead, or use another browser if you want the app behaviour.
The gain is convenience and offline access. It is worth knowing what it does not change, too.
A native Android or iOS app would need to do the same three things this site already does: read a public post, list its video files, and save one to your device. None of that requires native code.
What a native app would add is an install of tens of megabytes, a store account, a review process between fixes and users, and a permissions dialog asking for access the task does not need.
It would also add risk. Downloader apps are a well-documented malware category, and sideloaded APKs advertised as “official” versions of web tools are a common attack route on Android.
A web app avoids all of it. Updates arrive the moment you open it, the code is the code your browser already sandboxes, and uninstalling leaves nothing behind. The reasoning is the same one behind not shipping a browser extension.
It is a Progressive Web App, which sits between the two. Like a bookmark it installs instantly and takes almost no space. Like an app it gets a home screen icon, launches full screen without browser chrome, and keeps its pages available offline.
No, and you should be wary of any site offering one. Sideloaded APKs are among the most common routes for malware on Android. Installing here happens through the browser's own install flow, using code already served over HTTPS from this domain.
The pages will. Guides, instructions and the interface all load from a local cache. The download itself cannot work offline, because the video file is on X's servers and has to be fetched.
Roughly 100 KB for the cached pages and the icon. There is no bundled runtime and no media stored on the device, so it stays that size no matter how many videos you download.
Yes, through Safari's Share menu using Add to Home Screen. iOS does not offer the one-tap install prompt that Chromium browsers do, so the manual steps above are the route on that platform.
Exactly like any other app: long-press the home screen icon and remove it. On desktop Chrome, open the app menu and choose Uninstall. Removing it also clears the cached pages.
No. It is the same site with a different launch surface. The privacy policy applies unchanged: no account, no stored videos, and no retained links.
The downloader works exactly the same in a normal browser tab.
