GETTR is a social media platform launched in July 2021 by Jason Miller, a former Trump campaign adviser. Positioning itself as a free-speech alternative to Twitter and Facebook, GETTR attracted politicians, political commentators, journalists, and activists from across the ideological spectrum. The platform supports video posts, live streams, and short-form content similar to what you'd find on other social media platforms. Most public posts on GETTR are accessible without an account, and video content is URL-addressable — meaning you can copy the link to a specific post and use it to download the video. Vid1080 supports GETTR video URLs, making it simple to save any public GETTR video post to your device as an MP4.
Why People Download Videos from GETTR
GETTR hosts a significant amount of political speech, press releases, campaign messaging, and news commentary that journalists, researchers, and engaged citizens want to archive. Videos posted by public figures on GETTR can be deleted, and accounts can be suspended. Social media platforms also have a history of going through ownership changes, shutdowns, and policy shifts that put historical posts at risk. Downloading GETTR videos via Vid1080 creates a permanent local record of content you need to keep, independent of the platform's future.

How to Find a GETTR Video Post URL
Finding the URL for a GETTR video post requires navigating to the individual post, not just the user's profile. On GETTR, each post has its own permalink. When viewing someone's profile feed, click on the specific post containing the video to open that post's dedicated page. The URL in your browser address bar will change to reflect that individual post. That post URL is what you need to paste into Vid1080. You can also use GETTR's share or copy link functionality if available. Avoid copying the profile URL or a search results URL — those won't work.
