iOS & Safari Optimized

Engineered for iPhone & iPad Safari

The official X app for iOS does not include a built-in button to save public videos to your Camera Roll. With SaveForX and the native download manager built into Safari on iOS 15, 16, 17, and 18+, you can download H.264 MP4 videos or 192 kbps MP3 audio directly to your iPhone Files app and move videos into your Photos library in seconds—with zero App Store apps or brittle iOS Shortcuts.

01.

Native iOS Safari Download Manager

Uses standard Content-Disposition file headers so Safari prompts an immediate file download into the iOS Files app.

02.

Two-Tap Move to iPhone Photos App

Open any downloaded MP4 from Safari Downloads, tap the iOS Share sheet icon, and tap "Save Video" to store it in your Camera Roll.

03.

No App Store Installs or Shortcuts

Avoid subscription-locked downloader apps and broken third-party iOS Shortcuts that break after X updates.

Step-by-Step Guide for iPhone & iPad Users
