💡 WHY TWITTER GIFS DOWNLOAD AS MP4
Twitter converts all uploaded GIFs to MP4 video format for better quality and smaller file size. The downloaded .mp4 file plays as a GIF — it loops silently. Use any free online converter like ezgif.com to convert to .gif format if needed.
Why Twitter GIFs Download as MP4 Files
Twitter automatically converts all uploaded GIF files to MP4 video format. Twitter does this because MP4 files are significantly smaller than GIF files at the same quality — a 5MB GIF becomes approximately 500KB as an MP4. The downloaded file plays exactly like a GIF — it loops silently with no audio. If you specifically need a .gif file rather than .mp4, use a free online converter like ezgif.com after downloading.

How to Convert Downloaded Twitter GIFs to Real GIF Format
After downloading the MP4 file, go to ezgif.com, click Video to GIF, upload your downloaded MP4 file, and click Convert. The tool generates a standard .gif file in seconds. Note that GIF files are significantly larger than MP4 at the same quality — use MP4 wherever possible for better performance.
