Why is an X GIF an MP4?
X may serve a GIF animation as a looping MP4 video. To save it as a .gif file, the animation needs to be converted. Changing the filename from .mp4 to .gif does not convert the file.
Public posts only. Some public posts may still be unavailable to this tool.

Questions about downloading X GIFs
Should I download GIF or MP4?
Choose GIF when your chat or editor requires an animated image. Choose MP4 when it accepts video and you want to keep the file X provides. GIF conversion may change colors, dimensions or frame rate.
Can I download a GIF from a private post?
This tool works with public post links only. It cannot access protected or deleted posts, and some restricted posts may be unavailable.
Where does GIF conversion happen?
The animation is converted in your browser. Conversion time depends on the file and your device; keep this tab open until it finishes.
Why does my downloaded GIF look still?
Some apps show a still preview. Open the .gif file in an app that supports animation. A screenshot or the post’s thumbnail is only a still image.
