Many GIFs in One Go
Every GIF on a page, or in a GIF search, comes down in one run - not one right-click at a time.
Animated GIF Downloader for Any Website
Download GIFs from an image search, a site like Tenor or any web page - all of them in one go rather than one right-click at a time - and watch them in the program's built-in viewer, each one moving as it did on the site. NeoDownloader keeps what each site keeps: a real .gif where there is one, and the MP4 where the site has turned the GIF into a video.

Press Download search results. Your words and the filter go into the project with the results, and every GIF is fetched from the site where it was posted.
Download GIFs From Tenor, Reddit, X and Other Sites
Every site keeps GIFs its own way. What each one gives, and the guide that walks you through it:
Tenor: HD GIFs by the Search
Paste a search, an account or a profile from Tenor, and each GIF comes as the .gif of its HD version.
Tenor GIF DownloaderReddit: GIFs From Posts and Galleries
A GIF posted as a picture lives on Reddit's image server as a .gif and arrives as one - from a post, a gallery, a subreddit or a profile.
Reddit Image DownloaderPinterest: Animated Pins
GIFs pinned to a board come down animated beside the board's pictures; a video pin arrives as an MP4.
Pinterest DownloaderImgur: GIFs Kept as Video
Imgur plays its GIFs as MP4, so a post brings them that way; a GIF's own .gif address brings the GIF file.
Imgur DownloaderX (Twitter): GIFs That Are Videos
X stores every GIF as a short MP4 without sound. A post or a profile gives that video, at the best quality X keeps - there is no .gif behind it.
Twitter (X) DownloaderBluesky: Uploaded or Picked
A GIF someone uploaded becomes a silent MP4; one picked from Bluesky's GIF search stays a .gif file.
Bluesky DownloaderGoogle Images: The GIF Filter
Tools, then GIF under Type, leaves only moving pictures in a search, and each is downloaded from the site where it was posted.
Google Images DownloaderBing Images: Animated GIF
Bing's Type filter set to Animated GIF. Bing sometimes knows only a smaller copy of a GIF; for Tenor's GIFs in HD, go to Tenor itself.
Bing Images DownloaderGIF Downloader Features
Many GIFs at once, and a viewer to watch them in
Watch Them in the Built-in Viewer
Each GIF plays in the program's viewer as it did on the site. The arrow keys go from one to the next, a slideshow runs through them all, and a star marks the keepers.
The File the Site Keeps
A .gif comes as a .gif and a video as its MP4, untouched: no re-encoding, no resizing.
Named by Their Captions
Each GIF takes its name from the words the page gives it: cute gif of a tiny kitten.gif, not giphy.gif.
The Page Behind Each GIF
Every GIF remembers its page under “Found on”, one click from “Open on the site”.
A Collection That Grows
Start the same project a week later: only GIFs that appeared since are fetched.
How to Download Animated GIFs From Any Website
One GIF needs only your browser: right-click it and choose “Save image as”. For all the GIFs of a page - a list of reactions, a blog post, a forum topic:

Copy the Page's Address
Find the page where the GIFs play and take its link from the bar at the top of your browser. An article, a forum topic, a list of memes - any page works, as long as the GIFs show on it.

Keep “Pictures” ticked under “Download” - to the program a GIF is a picture - choose where the files go and press Create project. The GIFs land as .gif files, still moving, in a folder that carries the page's title.
GIF or MP4: Why Some GIFs Save as Video
Much of what the web calls a GIF is no longer a GIF file. X, Imgur and Bluesky turn an uploaded GIF into a short silent video - the same loop in a far smaller file - and what plays on the page is an MP4. Tenor, Giphy, Reddit and Pinterest still keep the .gif itself.
NeoDownloader saves the file the site keeps and converts nothing. A GIF stays a .gif with every frame it had; a GIF the site made into a video arrives as that MP4. Both play in the program's viewer.
Where a site keeps both versions, the GIF file has an address of its own. On Imgur it is the GIF's id with .gif after it, on i.imgur.com: paste that into “New project”, and the .gif comes down instead of the video.
GIF Downloader From URL: What You Can Paste
- A page with GIFs on it - an article, a forum topic, a gallery - with “Just this page”
- A GIF's own address ending in .gif, saved as it is by the Direct links plugin
- A Tenor search, official account, creator's profile or single GIF
- A Reddit post, gallery, subreddit or user profile
- A Pinterest board, a section of it or a profile
- A Google Images or Bing Images search with its GIF filter on
- A whole site's GIFs, with “The whole site, or a part of it”
GIF Downloader FAQ
Is there a free GIF downloader?
Yes. NeoDownloader costs nothing to get, and it saves GIFs from web pages, image searches and GIF sites such as Tenor. The free version has no time limit; Premium lifts its limits on the number of files per project.
How do I save a GIF?
On a computer, right-click it and choose “Save image as”; when the site serves a real GIF, it is saved with its animation. For all the GIFs of a page or a search, paste the page's address into “New project” in NeoDownloader, or run the search from “New search” with the GIF filter on.
How do I download animated GIFs from a website?
Copy the page's address and click “New project” in NeoDownloader, then “Next”. When Crawler asks “Where do the files come from?”, choose “Just this page”, and finish with “Create project”. Each GIF the page shows is saved as an animated .gif.
Why did my GIF download as an MP4?
Because the site keeps it as a video. X, Imgur and Bluesky turn uploaded GIFs into short MP4 files, and NeoDownloader saves the file the site has rather than making up a GIF. The loop is the same, usually in a much smaller file.
Can NeoDownloader convert MP4 to GIF?
No. It downloads files the way sites keep them and changes nothing in them. To turn an MP4 into a GIF, open it afterwards in a video editor or a converter.
Can I save Twitter GIFs as GIF files?
X keeps no GIF file to save: every GIF there is an MP4 video without sound. NeoDownloader downloads that video at the best quality X stores.
Can I download GIFs from Giphy?
Not from Giphy's own pages: NeoDownloader does not read Giphy's searches, channels or GIF pages. A Giphy GIF embedded in an article or a forum post comes down at full size with the rest of that page, and a GIF's own file address on media.giphy.com, ending in .gif, is saved as the GIF by the Direct links plugin.
Can it download every GIF on a whole website?
Choose “The whole site, or a part of it” instead of “Just this page”: Crawler then walks the site's pages from the address you gave and saves the GIFs it finds on each, together with the site's other pictures.
Are GIFs downloaded in full size?
They come as the site serves them, never resized. Tenor's arrive in their HD version; an image search hands over the address it knows, which on Bing is sometimes a smaller copy - Tenor's GIFs in HD are better taken from Tenor itself.
How do I save a GIF on my phone?
NeoDownloader runs on computers, so on a phone a GIF is saved one at a time: touch and hold it, then choose “Save to Photos” on an iPhone or “Download image” on Android.
Is there an online GIF downloader or a Chrome extension?
No - NeoDownloader is installed on your computer and works there. It takes a whole page or search rather than one link at a time, and each GIF goes from the site straight into your folder, not through someone else's server.
Is it legal to download GIFs?
That depends on what you do with them. Most GIFs are clips of someone's film, show or drawing, and their owners decide how they may be reused. NeoDownloader keeps the page each GIF came from, so where it was published is always one click away.
Your GIFs, in One Folder
Paste a page full of GIFs or run a GIF search, and keep what it finds in a folder of your own. The free version has no time limit.
