Twitter serves its media as MP4, and that is exactly what you keep. The container is passed through rather than rebuilt, so there is no generation loss between what Twitter stored and what ends up in your downloads folder. Twitter is one of the few platforms wired into both routes at once, because its posts and its streams are genuinely different things. Twitter is one of the broader integrations here — 27 distinct link shapes are handled rather than a single canonical one. Twitter supports signed-in sessions upstream, which is precisely how it hides private material; we browse anonymously, so that material stays hidden.
Use whichever is quicker: the field above, or tikt.com/ ahead of the Twitter link:
tikt.com/https://www.example.com/path/to/media
A post link and a stream link are both fine here — they take different paths internally and you do not have to care which.
The URL shape decides the route: album-style Twitter links go to the gallery extractor, stream-style links to the media extractor.
A post can return several files and a stream returns one. Either way nothing was re-encoded on the way through.
