Good for

  • Finding GIFs for a topic or reaction
  • Previewing and downloading GIF candidates
  • Extracting a still image at a chosen time
  • Creating frame grids for documents, PRs, or chat

Overview

What it does

This skill searches Tenor or Giphy for GIFs and handles reviewing candidates, downloading them, and extracting images. You can use commands or select candidates in a TUI, an interface displayed inside the terminal. It can extract a still image at a chosen time or arrange multiple frames in one PNG, with adjustable frame count, columns, and spacing. Search results can also be output as fields such as URLs or as JSON.

When it helps

Use it to find a GIF that fits a topic and share it, or review the motion through a grid of frames. It also helps prepare still images and frame grids for documents, PRs, and chat.

Example requests

  • “Find five cat GIFs so I can review the candidates.”
  • “Make a PNG from this GIF at 1.5 seconds.”
  • “Create a grid with nine frames in three columns.”

Notes

gifgrep is required. Giphy requires GIPHY_API_KEY; a Tenor key is optional. Command-line still previews work only in Kitty/Ghostty. Before using an asset, check the URL response, GIF format, and whether it is animated, and record its source and license. Download and reference the file when a local asset is needed.

gifgrep

Use gifgrep to search GIF providers (Tenor/Giphy), browse in a TUI, download results, and extract stills or sheets.

GIF-Grab (gifgrep workflow)

  • Search -> preview -> download -> extract (still/sheet) for fast review and sharing.

Quick start

  • gifgrep cats --max 5
  • gifgrep cats --format url | head -n 5
  • gifgrep search --json cats | jq '.[0].url'
  • gifgrep tui "office handshake"
  • gifgrep cats --download --max 1 --format url

TUI + previews

  • TUI: gifgrep tui "query"
  • CLI still previews: --thumbs (Kitty/Ghostty only; still frame)

Download + reveal

  • --download saves to ~/Downloads
  • --reveal shows the last download in Finder

Stills + sheets

  • gifgrep still ./clip.gif --at 1.5s -o still.png
  • gifgrep sheet ./clip.gif --frames 9 --cols 3 -o sheet.png
  • Sheets = single PNG grid of sampled frames (great for quick review, docs, PRs, chat).
  • Tune: --frames (count), --cols (grid width), --padding (spacing).

Providers

  • --source auto|tenor|giphy
  • GIPHY_API_KEY required for --source giphy
  • TENOR_API_KEY optional (Tenor demo key used if unset)

Output

  • --json prints an array of results (id, title, url, preview_url, tags, width, height)
  • --format for pipe-friendly fields (e.g., url)

GIF asset hygiene

  • Before recommending or using an animated GIF URL, verify it resolves successfully, has Content-Type: image/gif, and is actually animated (multiple frames or loop metadata; e.g. inspect with file, identify, or a small script).
  • Record attribution/license/source URL alongside the asset.
  • Do not hotlink when a local asset is needed: download/copy it into the project and reference the local file.

Environment tweaks

  • GIFGREP_SOFTWARE_ANIM=1 to force software animation
  • GIFGREP_CELL_ASPECT=0.5 to tweak preview geometry
