Ready before you finish reading this
We hit X's embed endpoint directly and cache every result for six hours, so a post that is already trending resolves instantly instead of queueing behind a scraper.
Looping clips, every size X keeps
Twitter GIF downloader
Paste a post link and save its looping clip in the size you want. No signup, no watermark, nothing stored.
The file X actually holds
No re-encode, no conversion pass, no quality lost on the way to you.
Looping is preserved
It behaves the same in any browser, phone or chat app that plays MP4.
Nothing is stored
Links aren't logged. No history, no account, no tracking pixel.
How to save a GIF from X
Three steps, about ten seconds, on any device with a browser.
1
Copy the post link
In the X app, tap the share icon under the post with the GIF and choose Copy link. On desktop the address bar works too.
2
Paste it here
Drop it in the box at the top. The Paste button reads your clipboard in one tap, so you never fumble a long-press.
3
Pick a size and save
Every size is listed with its real file size. The sharpest one X holds is marked BEST.
Key features of our site
Everything below is a thing the downloader actually does, not a promise. Several of them are the reason it holds up on files the other tools drop.
Works in the browser, on anything
No extension, no app, no install — which also means nothing to audit and nothing that can quietly read your other tabs. A phone, a tablet, a laptop, a smart TV: if it has a browser, it works.
Parsed in about a second
We go straight to the endpoint X uses for its own embeds, so there is no queue and no scraping a whole page. Anyone who pastes the same post in the next six hours gets the answer from cache instantly.
Nothing about you is stored
No account, no email, no download history, and no log of the links you submit. The only thing kept is the post's public media list, which is not yours and never touches disk.
Direct streaming, original quality
On desktop and Android the file comes from X's own CDN to your browser without passing through us. Nothing is re-encoded, watermarked or downscaled on the way — you get the bytes the creator uploaded.
Pause, resume, or take the raw link
Stop a large download and pick it back up from the same byte instead of starting over. Or copy the direct MP4 URL and hand it to a download manager, another device, or your editor.
Why choose us?
Four things this downloader does that the rest of them mostly do not.
Free, with nothing to sign up for
No account, no email, no daily cap. The only limit is twenty parses a minute per IP, which exists so one script cannot starve everyone else.
Your links are never logged
What you paste is used once and dropped. No history, no profile, no tracking pixel — and on desktop the video never even passes through our servers.
The original file, not a re-encode
Every MP4 variant X serves is listed with its real file size and bitrate, up to 4K. Nothing is upscaled and nothing is compressed on the way to you.
Questions about GIFs
Marked up with FAQ schema so these answers can surface directly in search results.
Read the full guideBecause X does not keep GIFs as GIFs. The moment one is posted it is re-encoded into a silent looping MP4, and that MP4 is the only file on their servers. Handing you those exact bytes is the honest answer. Anything labelled .gif elsewhere was converted afterwards, which costs quality and multiplies the file size.
