Download GIFs from X (Twitter) as video files
GIFs on X are actually short, looping MP4 videos — that’s why you can’t long-press to save them like images. This free Twitter GIF downloader grabs the original file so you can save and share any GIF.
How to download a GIF from Twitter
- Find the GIF in the X app or on the website.
- Tap Share, then Copy Link to copy the post URL.
- Paste the link into the downloader box on this page and tap Download.
- Save the GIF-quality MP4 to your device.
Saved GIFs play on loop in most gallery apps and can be shared to WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, and anywhere else that accepts video. For full-length videos, use the Twitter video downloader.
