Imgur GIFV to MP4: what to know
GIFV isn't a real file format. Imgur uses the .gifv ending for a small web page that plays an MP4 on loop, which is why saving it with right-click often gives you a useless HTML file.
Paste the .gifv link here and SaveVidr grabs the actual MP4 at its original size, ready for your gallery, chats or video editor.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a GIFV file?
It's Imgur's name for a looping MP4 video shown on a web page. There's no actual .gifv file format.
Can I convert GIFV to GIF?
SaveVidr gives you MP4, which is smaller and better looking than GIF. Use a separate converter if you specifically need a GIF.
Why did saving the .gifv give me an HTML file?
Because the .gifv address points to a page, not the video. Pasting it here fetches the MP4 inside.
Will the MP4 loop like on Imgur?
Looping is a player setting. Most phone galleries and VLC can loop the file if you turn it on.
