How to Save GIFs on Twitter

If you want to save GIFs from Twitter, you have multiple options like third-party sites and mobile apps that help you download GIFs from Twitter. Here are some methods.

GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format and is one of the most common ways to share your emotions on the internet, especially on social media sites like Twitter. People also use GIFs in place of caps to convey their messages.

All GIFs uploaded to Twitter are automatically converted to video format, even if they are still called GIFs. This is the only reason why you can’t download GIFs from Twitter by just right-clicking on the GIF and clicking “Save image…” as you would with most other sites. Twitter converts a GIF to video format because the video format usually has a smaller size than a GIF and has a more natural interaction.

So if you want to save GIF from Twitter, you have multiple options like third-party sites and mobile apps that help you download GIFs from Twitter. Here are some methods.
