Twitter GIF Downloader: Save GIFs from Tweets in Original Quality
Paste any tweet URL to save the GIF or video. Works on X.com and twitter.com. Free, no signup, no watermark. Desktop and mobile.
How to download a GIF from Twitter
- Find the tweet that contains the GIF you want to save. On the X / Twitter app, tap Share and choose Copy link. On the web, copy the URL straight from the address bar.
- Paste that URL into the box above and click Find GIF.
- Click Download .mp4. The file saves directly to your device. On iOS, the file lands in your Files app; on Android, in your Downloads folder.
Why the file downloads as MP4
Twitter has not served real .gif files since 2014. Every GIF on the platform is encoded as an MP4 video to keep file sizes small and playback smooth. Saving the MP4 gives you the original quality the way Twitter actually stores it.
If you specifically need a true .gif (for a forum post, an old messaging app that does not accept video, or an avatar uploader that demands the .gif extension), drop the saved .mp4 into a free converter like ezgif.com. Conversion takes a few seconds.
Twitter GIF download on mobile

On iPhone, the file goes to the Files app; on Android, it goes to the Downloads folder. From there you can move it to your camera roll or share it to Messages.
