Do I need to log in to X to download?

No. Beam works from the public post link, so you do not connect your X account or hand over any credentials. Just paste the URL.

Does it turn X GIFs into real files?

Yes. X serves GIFs as looping video, and Beam saves them as MP4 so they play smoothly and take up far less space than a true GIF file.

Beam is free for up to 10 downloads a day at up to 1080p. Beam Pro at 199 rupees or 3.99 dollars makes it unlimited and adds higher quality.
