FAQ

Common questions

Can I download GIFs from X?

Yes. X stores GIFs as looping MP4 videos, and that is exactly what you get: a small MP4 that loops perfectly and plays anywhere.

Do I need an X account?

No login is needed for public posts. Posts from protected accounts cannot be fetched.

What quality is the download?

The highest quality X serves for that post, typically the same resolution it was uploaded in.
