How GIFs are saved

  • Silent MP4. X stores GIFs as short, silent MP4 videos.
  • The original file. The MP4 is the smallest and sharpest.
  • Converted .gif. Converted here: up to 30 seconds, 480 px wide, 15 fps.
  • File size. A .gif is much larger than the MP4.

Limits

  • MP4: H.264 video up to 1080p with AAC sound, exactly as X serves it.
  • MP3: 192 kbps, converted and streamed while it downloads.
  • GIF: saved as MP4, or as a .gif file when the GIF is 30 seconds or shorter (480 px wide, 15 fps).
  • Photos: original size as JPG; select several to get one ZIP.
  • Length: videos longer than 60 minutes are not supported.
  • File size: up to 500 MiB per file.
  • Not supported: posts from protected accounts, posts marked sensitive that need a login, Spaces, live broadcasts, profiles, lists, and search pages.

Twitter GIF downloader FAQ

Why is the GIF an MP4?

X stores every GIF as a silent MP4 video. The MP4 is the original file.

Why can't I get a .gif?

Only GIFs of 30 seconds or less are converted, so the files stay usable.

Is the .gif lower quality?

It is 480 px wide at 15 frames per second with a 256-colour palette.
