How to download Twitter GIFs (step-by-step guide)

With so many interesting GIFs floating on your Twitter timeline, the temptation to download and use a few is common. You might think downloading a GIF on Twitter is the same as saving an image. But it’s not true. While you can download a picture just by right-clicking it on Twitter and saving it, it doesn’t work the same way with GIFs.

Downloading a Twitter GIF is much like downloading a Twitter video. This is because when someone tweets a GIF, the GIF file automatically becomes a video file. So, when you try to download it, it works like downloading a video rather than an image on Twitter.

In this article, we will examine the steps to download Twitter GIFs on each device.
