Why GIFs download as MP4
X typically encodes GIFs as short, silent MP4 loops. That is better for quality and size than a classic animated GIF file.
SaveTheX exposes the MP4 X already serves for that public post.
How to download an X GIF
Open the public post, copy its URL, paste it on savethex.com (or swap x.com for savethex.com), tap Get media, then download the available MP4.
