How to download Twitter / X GIFs as MP4
Published 2026-09-22
X GIFs are usually short looping videos. Learn how to save them as MP4 with SaveTheX.
Why GIFs download as video
X typically encodes “GIFs” as short, silent MP4 loops. That’s better for quality and file size than a classic GIF. SaveTheX exposes that MP4 so you can save and share it anywhere.
Steps
Open the public post with the GIF, copy its URL, and paste it on savethex.com (or swap x.com for savethex.com). Tap Get media, then download the available MP4.
