Why Twitter GIFs download as MP4
X doesn’t actually store GIFs as .gif files. When a GIF is uploaded, it’s converted to a short, silent, looping MP4 video — the same clip at a fraction of the size, with far more colours than the GIF format allows. That MP4 is the original file, so it’s what you download here.
MP4 loops play everywhere: in your camera roll, on WhatsApp and Telegram, and in Slack or Discord. If you specifically need a .gif — for example for a site that only accepts GIF uploads — convert the MP4 with any GIF converter; expect the file to be several times larger.

Frequently asked questions
X converts every uploaded GIF into a looping MP4 video. That MP4 is the original file, and it’s sharper and smaller than a .gif would be.
Use any MP4-to-GIF converter or video editor that exports GIF. Keep the clip short — GIF files grow large quickly.

Yes. The MP4 can be sent directly in WhatsApp, Telegram and most chat apps, where it plays as a looping GIF.
