Paste it, then choose frame rate, maximum width, and colors; balanced settings are preselected.
-
3Preview and save the GIF
Preview the converted animation and save its GIF file.

A closer look
Built for X GIF links
See the same three stages on a larger screen. Each example is captured from this website.
01 / Paste
Start with the right X GIF link
Animated media on X is normally linked through its status URL, just like a video. Copy the post that contains the animation rather than a profile page.
02 / Choose
Choose motion, width, and colors
X commonly stores animations as silent MP4s. Choose a frame rate, maximum width, and colors per frame; the balanced defaults are selected for you.
03 / Save
Preview and save the GIF
Preview the motion before saving to ensure the correct post was checked. Protected or removed statuses cannot be converted into a public download.
Transparent by design
A genuine GIF, prepared safely
The output is a real looping GIF, not an MP4 renamed to .gif. Balance motion, detail, and file size with three bounded conversion controls.

Frequently asked questions
Helpful answers
Why does the GIF take a moment to prepare?
X commonly serves animations as silent MP4 videos. GalaxyFetch converts short public animations into real GIF files, which takes processing time and can produce a larger file.
Will a still image post work?
No. This video-based workflow does not extract static images.
Why is the converted GIF larger than the X animation?
X delivers its animation as a compressed MP4. A real GIF uses a different, less efficient image format, so the file can be much larger even after frame-rate and dimension limits.
Which animations can be converted?
The tool accepts public X animated-GIF posts with a supported tweet-video source. Known animations over 20 seconds or sources over 20 MB are excluded, and the completed GIF is capped at 30 MB or the lower site limit.
Which GIF settings should I choose?
Balanced starts at 15 frames per second, up to 480 pixels wide, and 32 colors per frame. Higher frame rates look smoother; wider output and more colors can preserve detail but may increase size. The maximum-width choice never enlarges a smaller source.
Can I use a private or login-only link?
No. GalaxyFetch handles only media that the source exposes publicly without an account. It never asks for your password, session cookie, or private-profile access.
Does downloading give me permission to reuse the file?
No. Save only media you own or have permission to use. Copyright and the source platform rules still apply.
Where will the file go?
Desktop browsers normally save to Downloads. Android uses Downloads or the browser download list. On iPhone and iPad, check Safari Downloads and the Files app.
Why might the download fail?
The post may be removed, restricted by region or age, require a login, or the source may temporarily refuse automated access. A public-looking page is not always a public media file.
