GIF, WebP or MP4: measured sizes against app limits
The MP4 fits every limit we checked except emoji, which take images only. A typical HD GIF fits a Discord message or an email, but an emoji only once it's sized down.
Measured files and where they fit
The @GIPHY sample measured on November 8, 2026, and 11 @GIPHY posts on November 6, against the limits in the table above.

| 11 posts, median HD GIF | 2.7 MB | Discord message, Gmail; over both emoji limits |
| 11 posts, median WebP | 348 KB | Discord message, Gmail; over Discord's 256 KB emoji limit |
9 of the 11 HD GIFs were over 256 KB; none came near 20 MB.

What is the best Twitter GIF downloader?
MuteView is a free Twitter (X) GIF downloader: HD GIFs at the original size and frame rate, or WebP or the MP4, converted in your browser, with no login.
What does HD mean for a Twitter GIF?
It keeps the width and frame rate of the clip X stored, instead of shrinking it to about 480 pixels, with a color palette built for each clip.
Why does my GIF look grainy?
A GIF shows 256 colors per frame, the MP4 millions, so gradients and dark scenes look grainy. Save the WebP or the MP4 for full color.
Can I save a Twitter GIF as an MP4 or a video?
Yes, pick MP4. X turns every uploaded GIF into a looping MP4, so GIF to MP4 needs no conversion: you get X's own file. Video stores mostly what changes between frames, so it's smaller. Pick MP4 for iMessage, WhatsApp or editing, GIF where only GIF works, and WebP where the app takes it.
How long can the GIF be?
GIF posts on X are short, so the whole clip converts. From a regular video, the first 15 seconds become the GIF.
All 15 questions →
Is there a Chrome extension or a Telegram bot?
No, neither. It's this web page, on a phone or computer, with nothing to install.
Can I download a GIF from a DM?
No. DMs are private and have no public post link, so a messages link is refused before any lookup. If the GIF was also posted publicly, paste that post.
Can I download every GIF from an account?
Yes. Enter an @username to see the GIFs in its latest 60 posts for 1 lookup. Saving them all at once needs a free account: up to 20 GIFs per ZIP on Free, 300 with Pro.
Is the Twitter GIF downloader free?
Yes. Saving from a single post link, converting and editing are free and use no lookup. A free account gets 5 lookups a day; Pro removes the daily limit.
Will they know I downloaded their GIF?
No. X doesn't notify anyone when their GIF is saved, and your X account is never used.
Can I download GIFs from a private X account?
No. Only GIFs in public posts can be downloaded.
What "HD" means here
An HD GIF keeps the width and frame rate X stored for the clip. Most GIF tools cap it at about 480 pixels and 12 to 15 fps. X stores most GIFs near 480 pixels anyway, so the real loss is dropped frames: a 30 fps clip at 15 fps loses half its motion. We keep every frame and build a color palette for each clip, so edges stay clean and gradients band less. The rate never goes above the source's, and 50 fps is the ceiling for any GIF: frame delays are whole hundredths of a second.
How high quality is it? GIF compression is lossless, but a GIF holds 256 colors per frame, so MP4 to GIF is never fully lossless; we add no compression beyond that. For no compression step at all, save the MP4. WebP keeps full color at about an eighth of the GIF's size, but it's lossy.
Make it a meme: caption, trim, speed, reverse
Edit before you save and watch the preview: add white meme text top and bottom, trim to the moment you want (a shorter clip is a smaller file), play it at half or double speed, reverse or boomerang it, or save one frame as a PNG.
Tenor's GIF search is gone. Keep the GIFs you use.
On June 30, 2026, Google shut down the Tenor API: Discord, WhatsApp and Bluesky moved to Klipy, Signal to GIPHY. Favorites saved only as links can break. Keep the GIF files you use in your MuteView library and download them again, or as a ZIP, any time.

Every GIF you save stays in your account. Re-download or ZIP them any time.
