How do I download a GIF from Twitter?

Copy the public tweet URL, paste it into the Twitter GIF Downloader, and save the playable media file from that post.

Why does Twitter download GIFs as MP4?

Twitter usually serves uploaded GIFs as looping MP4 files, which is why a downloader often returns an MP4 instead of a traditional GIF file.

Can I save GIFs from Twitter without an app?

Yes. A browser-based Twitter GIF Downloader lets you save GIF-style posts without installing a separate app.

What is the best way to save a GIF from Twitter?

For most users, the easiest workflow is to use a dedicated downloader instead of screen recording or manually converting the post.

Can I download GIFs from private or protected accounts?

No. The downloader only works with publicly available posts. Protected or otherwise restricted content is outside the normal public workflow and is not supported here.
