Twitter is a popular platform for sharing GIFs, from reaction images to animated memes. Our GIF downloader saves these animations for use elsewhere.
Understanding Twitter GIFs
When you upload a GIF to Twitter, it's actually converted to an MP4 video for efficiency. The platform displays it as a looping animation, but underneath it's a video file. Our tool downloads this content and offers format options.
Download Format Options
Choose the format that suits your needs:
- MP4 (Recommended) - Smaller file, plays everywhere
- GIF - Traditional format, larger files, universal sharing
MP4 vs GIF
MP4 files are much smaller than equivalent GIFs while maintaining quality. However, true GIFs work in more places like email signatures and forums that don't support video. Choose based on where you'll use it.
Perfect Loop
Whether you download as MP4 or GIF, the animation loops seamlessly just like it does on Twitter. The looping behavior is preserved in both formats.
Finding the GIF URL
Click on the tweet with the GIF and copy the URL. Our tool will detect that it contains an animated image and process it appropriately.
