Understanding Video Quality (Bitrate)

Video quality is primarily determined by its bitrate, which is the amount of data used to represent one second of video. A higher bitrate means more data, resulting in a clearer, sharper image but also a larger file size.

Here’s a breakdown of the labels you’ll see on our site:

🏆 1080p / 720p (HD - High Definition)

These are high-bitrate options. Choose these when quality is your top priority.
Best for: Watching on a TV or computer monitor, archiving content, or using clips in video editing projects.

💾 480p / 360p (SD - Standard Definition)

These are medium-to-low bitrate options that offer a good balance between visual quality and file size.
Best for: Viewing on mobile devices, sharing quickly on messaging apps, or saving disk space and mobile data.

Understanding Image Quality (Resolution)

When a photo is uploaded to Twitter, they create several copies at different sizes. Our tool gives you access to all of them.

🖼️ Original (Best Quality)

This is the full, original image file that was uploaded, with the highest resolution and least compression.
Best for: Printing, graphic design, or archiving a photo in its best possible state.

🖥️ Large / Medium

These are high-resolution but slightly smaller versions of the original. They look great on most screens.
Best for: General use, sharing on social media, or using in presentations.

📱 Small

This is the lowest resolution version with the smallest file size.
Best for: Using as a thumbnail or when you need a file that loads extremely quickly.

A Note on ZIP Quality Selection

When downloading a ZIP batch, the quality you select (e.g., "Highest Quality") will be applied to all media. The tool will automatically pick the best available video bitrate and the "Original" image size for every item in the batch.
