Gallery-dl is a powerful, cross-platform command-line tool that downloads images and collections from Twitter/X, Bluesky, Discord, EroMe, and hundreds of platforms. It also comes with configuration tools for you to change the filenames, titles, and more.

Step 1. Install the gallery-dl file on your computer.

Step 2. Run gallery-dl --config-create to create a config file.

Step 3. Add the Twitter/X section and name the file.

        "twitter":{

            "filename": "{author[name]}-{author[id]}({author[date]:%Y%m%d_%H%M%S})-{tweet_id}({date:%Y%m%d_%H%M%S}).{extension}"

        }

}

Step 4. Provide valid login credentials.

gallery-dl -u "" -p "" "URL"

gallery-dl -o "username=" -o "password=" "URL"

Step 5. To specify a download directory, use the -d option:

gallery-dl -d /path/to/download/directory https://twitter.com/USERNAME

  • For advanced customization (such as renaming files, setting download limits, or adding authentication tokens), create or modify the configuration file. The default location is:
  • Linux/macOS: ~/.config/gallery-dl/config.json
  • Windows: %APPDATA%\gallery-dl\config.json

But if you have difficulty working with commands, Twitter/X /X/X Media Batch Downloader is a user-friendly tool that lets you download all images and videos in original quality from any Twitter/X account, including withheld ones, using gallery-dl.

Step 1. Download Twitter/X Media Batch Downloader.
