GIFs download as MP4

X turns GIFs into short videos, so they save as small MP4s. Most players and gallery apps loop them just like a GIF.

Sharpest or smallest

Every version X stores is listed with its resolution, so you can pick the sharpest for watching or the smallest to save data and space.

The tool for the job

Everything above uses the X (Twitter) Video Downloader. MP4 in each quality X provides (often 1080p, 720p and 480p). GIFs download as small looping MP4s.
