Paste an Imgur link above to save its video or GIF as a clean MP4. Imgur is mostly memes, reaction clips and silent loops, and this Imgur video downloader grabs the original file from i.imgur.com — in your browser, with no app and no account.
GIFV, GIFs and videos — all saved as MP4
Here's the Imgur quirk: what looks like a GIF on Imgur is usually a GIFV — Imgur's name for a short MP4 wrapped to autoplay like a GIF. So when you "download an Imgur GIF", the right file to keep is actually an MP4: far smaller, smoother, and playable in any video app. We hand you that MP4 directly (or the real animated GIF if you prefer).
Supported formats & quality
| Type | Options |
|---|---|
| Resolution | up to 720p / 1080p (whatever the upload holds) |
| GIFV / video | saved as MP4 (H.264) — plays on every device |
| GIFs | keep the animated GIF, or get the smaller MP4 version |
| Audio only | MP3, when the clip has sound |
Albums & direct image links
Imgur posts come in a few shapes, and they all work here: a single post (imgur.com/abc123), a direct media link (i.imgur.com/abc123.gifv or .mp4), and posts inside an album or gallery — open the specific item and paste its link to grab that clip.
Download an Imgur post by link
Everything works from the link. The conversion to MP4 happens automatically when you click Download, so there's no separate Imgur-to-MP4 converter to run. Saving from other apps too? Try our Reddit video downloader, Tumblr video downloader or the all-purpose online video downloader.
