The reason the Gdcvault GIF file is awkward to save in the first place is that the platform serves it as a stream rather than as a file. This page does the small amount of work that turns one into the other, and nothing else. Gdcvault's extractor is currently flagged as unreliable upstream, so an occasional failure there is expected rather than surprising. Gdcvault supports signed-in sessions upstream, which is precisely how it hides private material; we browse anonymously, so that material stays hidden. Gdcvault is handled by the media route, which reads the site's own rendition list before choosing anything.
Shortcut — stick tikt.com/ on the front of the Gdcvault address instead of copying it here:
tikt.com/https://www.example.com/path/to/media
Use the address bar or the platform's own share button — both give a URL the extractor recognises. Point it at the single item you want, not the page around it.
Paste the URL above. The extractor asks Gdcvault which renditions exist for that item and picks the best progressive one rather than assuming a quality.
The file arrives in the container Gdcvault served it in, and the extractor does not rebuild it — so what you end up with is what the uploader encoded, for better or worse.
