Questions
Why didn't my X (Twitter) link work?
GIFs on X are stored as short MP4s, so they download as MP4 too.
Can I download any X (Twitter) video?
Download only videos you made or have permission to use. Re-uploading someone else's video can break copyright and the platform's rules.
Can I turn an X video back into a GIF?
Yes: download the MP4, then use Video to GIF to make a real looping GIF at the size you need.
Do protected accounts work?
No. Only public posts can be read without logging in.
