(5,588 posts)Not something I like to do, but it is the only way I have found to get animated gifs.
Right click on the image and then click on inspect. I used to write html, so I kind of know how to dig for it.
Not easy with all the containers they use.

(4,783 posts)Open the specific tweet with the gif in twitter. There will be an icon at the bottom of the tweet that looks like a tray with an arrow pointing. Click on that, and you'll find a copy link menu item.
Then go here: http://twittervideodownloader.com/download
Paste the address into the search box on that page and click download. Links to one or more sizes of the gif/video will appear. Follow the brief instructions on the page to save one of them.
Edited to add: the videos to download are .mp4 versions, not gifs. They play just fine.
cayugafalls
(5,588 posts)Just upload the mp4 that is created and you are good to go.

(50,438 posts)Why can't I figure out the addy to the gif I want. Opened it up by itself, but addy I copied didn't work.
Nevilledog
(50,438 posts)But I'm screwing up something with getting the tweet addy right.
I'm really not an idiot. I just play one on DU occasionally.
I'm guessing they make this difficult on purpose!
cayugafalls
(5,588 posts)Then upload (Choose File) on the ezgif site to upload the mp4 you just downloaded.
Do not try to paste the link.
cayugafalls
(5,588 posts)click on Copy Link Address.
Then paste that address into the "paste video url" section on the ezgif site.
It worked for me.
Nevilledog
(50,438 posts)Maybe I need to put this on my list of stupid shit to figure out tomorrow....lol

Cha
(295,524 posts)July 2018 so I could say what I wanted to.
Did you learn to extract the gif from tweets 'cause you don't do twitter?
Nevilledog
(50,438 posts)Luckily cayugafalls came to the rescue to figure it out.
Cha
(295,524 posts)I had one of those lucky tech moments on here figuring out how to c/p pics through imgur 'cause MS windows 10 edge on my new laptop wouldn't let me do it.
I am eternally grateful!
