Tenor has become one of the most widely used platforms for discovering and sharing expressive GIFs, especially across messaging apps and social media platforms. However, many content creators and social media marketers struggle to figure out how to download Tenor GIFs directly to their devices. There are several GIF downloaders out there, but many tools come with browser-related limitations, some have spammy download buttons, or some provide unsupported formats.

This guide will help you understand how to download Tenor GIFs directly. It will also show an easy way to modify the downloaded GIFs by adjusting their playback speed or applying edits with the help of Wondershare UniConverter.

Part 1. How to Download GIFs From Tenor Directly

Step 1: Visit Tenor.com using any modern web browser and use the search bar to find the GIF you want to download.

Step 2: Once the selected GIF is fully loaded in the browser, right-click on it and choose either the “Save Image As…” or “Save As…” option. Select your preferred download folder and save the file with a .gif extension.
