Follow these four simple steps to save any GIF or animation from Twitter or X to your device in seconds.
Open Twitter or X and find the tweet that contains the GIF or animation you want to download. GIFs appear as looping videos in your feed.
Tap the Share icon on the tweet and select "Copy link" — or copy the URL directly from your browser's address bar. Both twitter.com and x.com URLs work.
Paste the tweet URL into the input field at the top of this page and click "Download GIF." The tool will instantly fetch the media from Twitter's servers.
Preview the media with its exact dimensions. Click Download MP4 for the original file, or Convert to GIF to save it as a true animated GIF.

If you've ever wondered why right-clicking a GIF on Twitter doesn't save it as a .gif file — here's the full explanation.
When you upload a GIF to Twitter or X, the platform automatically converts it to MP4 video format behind the scenes. This is not a bug — it's deliberate optimization. An MP4 file can be up to 10 times smaller than the equivalent GIF while offering better color depth and smoother playback at the same visual quality. This is why you cannot simply right-click and save a GIF from Twitter — there is no .gif file on Twitter's servers. There is only a looping MP4 video disguised as a GIF.
Our Twitter GIF Downloader extracts this MP4 directly from Twitter's CDN. You can keep it as MP4 (recommended — best quality, smallest size, works everywhere) or use our built-in converter to transform it back into a true animated .gif file for platforms that specifically require that format.
