X GIF Downloader
Save any public GIF from X (Twitter) to your device. Free, no login, and no watermark added.
What is an X GIF downloader?
GIFs on X are not really GIF files. X converts every one to a silent, looping MP4 before showing it, which is why holding down on a GIF never offers to save it. An X GIF downloader fetches that file for you from a public post link, so you get the looping clip itself rather than a screen recording of it.

X GIF downloader FAQ
Why does the GIF download as an MP4?
Because that is what it already is. X converts every uploaded GIF to a silent looping MP4, so the MP4 is the original file rather than a conversion.
Can I turn it back into a GIF file?
Yes, any video converter will do it, though the MP4 is smaller and plays everywhere a GIF does.
Does the clip still loop?
Yes. It is the same looping clip you saw on X, with no audio track.
Do I need an X account?
No. There is no login and nothing to install.
Is the GIF downloader free?
Yes, with no limit and no sign-up.
Can I download GIFs from private accounts?
No. Only posts from public accounts can be downloaded.
