Twitter Video to GIF

Convert Twitter videos to GIF

Want to turn a Twitter video into an animated GIF? Paste the tweet URL below to download the video. Twitter internally stores many short clips as MP4 files that can be used as GIFs.

How to convert

1. Find the video tweet on Twitter or X.com.
2. Copy the tweet URL.
3. Paste it here and click Download.
4. Download the MP4 file — short clips work perfectly as looping GIFs in most apps.

How Twitter handles GIFs

Twitter converts all uploaded GIFs to MP4 for faster loading. When you "share a GIF" on Twitter, it's actually an MP4 that auto-loops. This tool detects those GIF-type tweets and labels them accordingly.

Using your download as a GIF

• Most messaging apps (WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack) auto-loop short MP4s like GIFs
• For a true .gif file, use a converter like ezgif.com after downloading
• Short clips under 10 seconds work best for GIF conversion
