About Twitter "GIFs"
When someone taps Add GIF in Twitter, the platform converts the animation to a silent MP4 behind the scenes. So when we save a Twitter GIF, you get an MP4 — same animation, much smaller file, plays everywhere video plays. For full videos with sound, use the Twitter video downloader.
If you specifically need a .gif file, you can convert the MP4 with any free converter. But MP4 is usually the better choice — smaller, smoother, easier to share. Need just the audio from a video instead? The Twitter to MP3 converter handles that.
