How to download Twitter / X GIFs as MP4
Published 2026-09-22 · Updated 2026-09-23
X GIFs are usually short looping videos. Learn how to save them as MP4 with SaveTheX on savethex.com.
Quick answer
Yes — SaveTheX can download GIFs. When X serves a GIF as a short looping video, paste the public post URL on savethex.com (or swap x.com for savethex.com) and download the available MP4.
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 and copy its URL.
Paste it on savethex.com, or change the host to savethex.com and open the edited link.
Tap Get media, then download the available MP4.
Limits
Only public posts work. If X does not expose media for that post, SaveTheX cannot download it.
