Twitter / X GIF Downloader

Paste a public X post or open a local video, then download the MP4 or create a GIF in your browser. Free, no sign-in.

What is an X / Twitter GIF downloader?

An X GIF downloader finds the video file behind a public Twitter or X post—GIF posts are usually silent MP4—and lets you save that file or turn a short clip into a real .gif in your browser. You can also open a local MP4, WebM, MOV, or GIF. Public Reddit video posts are supported the same way. Private or login-only posts cannot be fetched.

What you can do

Resolve a public post, or convert a file you already have.

  1. Public X / Twitter posts: Paste a status link. The tool lists available MP4 variants, including GIF-style silent videos.

  2. Reddit videos: Public Reddit posts with hosted video or a direct GIF/MP4 link can be resolved the same way.

  3. Local files: Drop an MP4, WebM, MOV, or GIF from your device when the post is unavailable or you already have the clip.

  4. GIF editor in the browser: Trim up to 30 seconds, set width and frame rate, then create a looping GIF locally with FFmpeg—no account.

How to download GIFs from Twitter / X

Three steps from a public post link to a .gif file.

  1. Paste or open

    Copy a public X / Twitter post link, paste it above, and choose Get video. You can also open a video or GIF from your device.

  2. Choose a clip

    Preview the video, pick a quality if several are listed, then set the start and end times plus GIF width and frame rate.

  3. Create and download

    Choose Create GIF, then Download GIF. Or download the original video without converting it.

Tips for smaller, clearer GIFs

Limits that keep conversion reliable in the browser.
  • 01

    Keep clips short

    Each GIF export is capped at 30 seconds and 360 frames. Shorter clips download faster.

  • 02

    Lower width or FPS

    480 px and 10–12 fps are enough for chat and social posts. Higher settings grow file size quickly.

  • 03

    GIF has no sound

    To keep audio, download the original video instead of exporting a GIF.

  • 04

    Links expire

    Resolved media URLs are temporary. Fetch the post again if a download stops working.

When to use it

Jobs this downloader is built for.

  • Save an X GIF as a real .gif

    Turn X’s silent MP4 GIF posts into files that open in chat apps and editors that expect GIF.

  • Reuse a meme clip

    Trim the punchline, export a looping GIF, and keep the original MP4 if you need sound later.

  • Work offline from a file

    Open a local recording when the social post is private, deleted, or region-restricted.

Why this tool

Free, browser-based, and honest about what it can fetch.

  • No sign-in

    Open the page and paste a link. There is no account wall.

  • Local GIF conversion

    Creating a GIF runs in your browser after the video is on your device.

  • Download without converting

    Save the source MP4 when you do not need a GIF.

Technical details

How a post link becomes a file on your device.
X / Twitter lookup
Public status IDs are resolved through a media lookup API that returns MP4 variants. Private and age-gated posts are skipped.
Reddit lookup
Public post JSON is read for reddit_video fallback URLs or direct .gif / .mp4 links.
Optional download gateway
When a self-hosted Cobalt-compatible gateway is configured on the server, additional public social hosts can be resolved the same way.
GIF encode
FFmpeg.wasm builds a palette and encodes up to 30 seconds / 360 frames at your chosen width and FPS. First run downloads the WASM once.
Size caps
Remote media downloads are capped at 50 MB. Local uploads follow the shared 200 MB video limit.
