How To Download Twitter Pictures

Twitter Media Downloader is an extension for the Firefox and Google Chrome web browser to download images and videos published on Twitter automatically.

Twitter is a popular social messaging service; it supports text but also media. While you can download individual media easily on Twitter, images for instance with a right-click on the displayed image and the selection of the save image option from the context menu, that process is not overly comfortable if you want to download multiple images from search or individual Twitter users.

Tip: My favorite image downloader Bulk Image Downloader handles this as well.

Twitter Media Downloader

Twitter Media Downloader is a Firefox and Chrome extension that adds options to Twitter to download images and videos in bulk. The extension is a bit difficult to figure out at first, but it is easy to use once you figure out the basics.

The extension indicates downloaded media by adding a Media link to Twitter search result pages and timelines.

A click on it opens the download interface. You can simply hit start there to download the most recent 100 media uploads, or change the configuration first before you start doing so.

The following options are provided:

  1. Change the download limit from the default 100 files.
  2. Select a starting and end ID range.
  3. Select to download images, videos (GIF), and/or videos.

A click on start initiates the process. The extension downloads media files based on the configuration. You can stop the process at any time prematurely; the extension zips all files and displays a download prompt afterwards for a single zip file that contains all the downloaded media files.

The downloading works on search results pages, and user timelines.

Twitter Media Downloader adds an icon to the main Firefox toolbar as well. You can click on it to configure core parameters of the extension. Use it to enable or disable image and/or video download links, and to switch the media filtering mode from a fast but less accurate mode to a slower but highly accurate mode.

Closing Words

Twitter Media Downloader is an excellent extension for Twitter users who would like to download images or videos in bulk from the web service.

Download Twitter Profile Pic

I don’t need to tell you, how popular GIFs have become in the present day and age. Doesn’t matter which social media network you are on, chances are, you will encounter a GIF in your feed sooner rather than later. GIFs are especially popular on Twitter. The 140 character limits of Twitter makes it really hard for users to express themselves properly. Hence, users often compliment their tweets with corresponding GIFs. Also, no one can deny the fact that GIFs are really funny. Because of these benefits, GIFs are heavily used on Twitter. However, there’s an inherent problem with using GIFs on Twitter. The service does not allow you to download the GIFs on your phone. I don’t know how many times I came across a GIF on my Twitter feed, which I wanted to download so badly, but couldn’t. So, if you are someone who went through the same frustration, here is how to download GIFs from Twitter on your phone:

Why You Can’t Download GIFs From Twitter Natively

Before we learn how to download the GIFs, let us first understand why we cannot download the GIFs from Twitter natively. The reason is pretty simple. We cannot download the GIFs from Twitter because they are not GIFs at all. Confused, are you? No worries, I was also confused when I learned that. Well, the reason they are not technically GIFs as Twitter converts the GIFs into MP4 when you upload them. Twitter does that for two important advantages.

Firstly, GIFs cannot be compressed as much as MP4 files. Converting the GIFs to MP4 allows Twitter to compress the file so that the file loads faster. Also, users can pause the MP4 files while it’s playing, something which they cannot do with a GIF file. Thus for lesser size and better control, Twitter converts the GIFs into MP4 files. This is the reason you cannot download a GIF from Twitter, because technically, it’s not a GIF but a video file.

Download GIFs From Twitter on Android

Yeah, I understand Twitter’s point of view but what if I really want that GIF. Well, there’s still a way you can use to download GIFs from Twitter. Although it will not be as simple as downloading it directly from the Twitter app, it’s not that difficult too. All you need is an app and few extra steps. Let’s go through them.

1. Okay, the first thing you need is an app which will help you download the GIF from Twitter. There are a lot of Android apps out there, but in my experience “Tweet2gif” works the best. So click on the link to download and install the app.

2. Now, let’s just open the Twitter app and find a GIF we want to download. When you find the GIF you want to download, tap on the more option (the down arrow button) and copy the tweet’s link by tapping on “Copy link to Tweet”.

3. Now open the Tweet2gif app and paste the link in the URL section of the app. You can either hit the “Paste” button and the URL will be pasted automatically or you can do it the usual way by long-pressing on the empty field and selecting paste.

4. The next step is pretty easy. Just tap on the “Download GIF” button and the GIF will be downloaded onto your device. Once the GIF is downloaded, you will see the confirmation on the app’s page. You will find the GIF in your default Gallery app (or whichever app you use instead).

That’s how easy it is to download GIFs from Twitter on your phone. It just needs a couple of extra steps, that’s all.

Save Twitter GIFs on iPhone

The process to download GIFs from Twitter on iPhone is similar to that on Android. On the iPhone too, we will utilise a third party app for downloading the GIFs. Here are the steps to do it.

1. Download and install the “GIFwrapped” app.

2. Open the Twitter app and find any GIF that you want to download. Just like on Android, tap on the more option (the downward facing arrow). Now, tap on the “Share Tweet via…” option.

3. Here, copy the link by tapping on the “Copy Link to Tweet” button.

4. Open the GIFwrapped app and tap on the “Search” button present in the bottom row. Here, tap on the search field and then hit the”Use the Clipboard” button. It will paste the link you copied in the second step.

5. Now, wait for a few seconds while the GIF loads. Once it does, tap to open it. Here, hit the share button present at the top right corner of the app to open the sharing options.

6. Now tap on “Share Image” and then “Save Image”. This will save the GIF on your phone.

Although Twitter makes it a little bit harder to download GIFs, it is not impossible.
