Twitter GIF Downloader

Paste a tweet link and download its GIF or video in the best available quality. Free, no signup — works in every browser on Mac, Windows and mobile.

Twitter/X GIFs are stored as short looping MP4 videos — your download will be an MP4 file that plays like a GIF. This tool is not affiliated with X Corp. and only works with public tweets. Download content you have the right to save.

How to Download a GIF from Twitter (X)

1

Copy the Tweet Link

On X, tap the share icon on the tweet and choose 'Copy link' — or copy the URL straight from the address bar. Links from twitter.com and x.com both work.

2

Paste It Above

Paste the link into the field and hit Fetch. The tool finds every GIF, video and photo in the tweet, with all available quality options.

3

Pick a Quality and Save

Choose the resolution you need and click Download — the file saves to your device as MP4 (or PNG for photos). No watermark added.

Twitter GIF Downloader — FAQ

How do I save a GIF from Twitter on Mac?

Copy the tweet's share link, paste it into the tool above, and click Download on the quality you want. The GIF saves as an MP4 file that loops like a GIF. On Mac you can then drag it into messages, docs or editors — or capture and edit it with Snappix.

Why does my download come as MP4 instead of GIF?

X (Twitter) stores every 'GIF' as a short looping MP4 video without audio — that's how the platform itself plays them. The MP4 you download behaves exactly like the GIF you see: it loops automatically in messages, browsers and editors. Any tool claiming a real .gif file is just converting it for you.

Is this Twitter GIF downloader free?

Yes — completely free, with no signup, no watermarks and no daily limit. It runs in your browser on Mac, Windows, iOS and Android.

Can I download GIFs from private accounts or DMs?

No. The tool only works with public tweets. Private, protected and deleted content cannot be fetched — and attempting to bypass privacy controls would violate X's terms of service.

Is it legal to download GIFs from Twitter?

Downloading publicly posted media for personal use — saving a reaction GIF, archiving your own tweets — is generally fine. Respect copyright when you repost or reuse content commercially, and credit the original creator where possible.
