What is an Imgur GIF downloader?
What you can do
Public Imgur links: Works with supported public Imgur image, gifv, album, gallery, and i.imgur.com media links when GIF or video media is exposed.
Original GIF or MP4: Download a real original GIF when Imgur hosts image/gif, or save the MP4 that gifv posts already publish.
Local GIF editor: Trim start and end, set width and frame rate, then create a new animated GIF entirely in your browser.
No account required: Open the page, paste a link, and download. There is no sign-in wall.
How to download from Imgur

Download your file

A few things to know
Use a public Imgur link: Use public Imgur posts containing supported video or animated GIF media. Private, deleted, and restricted posts may be unavailable.
Original GIFs vs created GIFs: Original GIFs are offered only when Imgur returns image/gif. Most gifv posts are MP4 files; creating a GIF encodes a new file in your browser.
Size and clip limits: Remote media is limited to 50 MB. GIF creation also depends on your device memory and the selected clip (up to 30 seconds / 360 frames). Links expire; resolve the post again to refresh them.
Permission matters: Download only content you own or have permission to save. Respect the creator’s rights and Imgur’s terms.
When to use it
Save an Imgur gifv for offline use
Keep an original GIF or MP4 when sharing flows only offer a web page link.
Trim a looping reaction clip
Load the Imgur media, shorten the clip, and create a smaller animated GIF.
Move Imgur media into another editor
Download MP4 or GIF, then open it in another converter or messaging workflow.

Technical details
- Imgur API lookup
- The server reads the public Imgur image or album id, then uses Imgur’s public API to find image/gif and progressive .mp4 URLs.
- Proxied download
- Download streams the chosen i.imgur.com URL through our allowlisted media proxy so the browser receives an attachment response.
- Browser GIF encode
- Create GIF runs FFmpeg.wasm in your browser after the source file is loaded locally.
- Size cap
- Remote media downloads are capped at 50 MB per file.
