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)

Environment tweaks

  • GIFGREP_SOFTWARE_ANIM=1 to force software animation

  • GIFGREP_CELL_ASPECT=0.5 to tweak preview geometry
