How To Save GIFs From Twitter – You’d think saving GIFs on Twitter would be easy and straightforward. But, unfortunately, that isn’t the case.
Twitter doesn’t have a button that will allow you to save GIFs you see on its platform. So, to download a GIF or a video from Twitter, you’ll need a third-party tool.
There are plenty of options for dealing with this issue. Whether you have an iPhone or Android, or you’re using the desktop version of Twitter, here’s what you need to know about saving GIFs from Twitter.
Note: Some GIFs may be subject to copyright or trademark protection. Memes are usually fair game, though video footage taken by individuals could be subject to licensing restrictions if you intend to share or otherwise distribute the file.
